Pipelined datapath and control

Pipelined datapath and control  A pipeline processor can be represented in two dimensions, as shown in Figure 5.1. Here, the pipeline segments (Seg #1 through Seg #3) are arranged vertically, so the data can flow from the input at the top left downward to the output...

Data abstraction

Data abstraction Data abstraction is the reduction of a particular body of data to a simplified representation of all the data. Abstraction is the process of taking away or removing the characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of important...

Building datapath

Building datapath We are going to build the MIPS processor Figure 5.1 redrawn below shows the main idea Note that the instruction gives the three register numbers as well as an immediate value to be added. No instruction actually does all this. We have datapaths for...

Basic MIPS implementation

Basic MIPS implementation Basic MIPS Instructions MIPS, which was an acronym for Microprocessor without Interlocking Pipe Stages, was a very successful microprocessor in the 1990s. Over time it was unable to compete with the resources thrown at the Intel family in the...

C++ Programming features

C++ Programming features The purpose of C++ programming feartures was to add object orientation to C language, which is one of the most powerful programming languages of all. The important part of object-oriented programming is to create an object. It has certain...

instruction level parallelism

instruction level parallelism Instruction-Level Parallelism: Concepts and Challenges: Instruction-level parallelism (ILP) is the potential overlap the execution of instructions using pipeline concept to improve performance of the system. The various techniques that...
