Microarchitectural Innovations: Boosting Microprocessor Performance Beyond Semiconductor Technology Scaling
Semiconductor technology scaling provides faster and more plentiful transistors to build microprocessors, and applications continue to drive the demand for more powerful microprocessors. Weaving the “raw” semiconductor material into a microprocessor that offers the performance needed by modern and future applications is the role of computer architecture. This paper overviews some of the microar...
متن کاملModeling technology impact on cluster microprocessor performance
The growing speed gap between transistors and wire interconnects is forcing the development of distributed, or clustered, architectures. These designs partition the chip into small regions with fast intracluster communication. Longer latency is required to communicate between clusters. The hardware and/or software are responsible for scheduling instructions to clusters such that critical path c...
متن کاملArchitectural Innovations in the CRISP Microprocessor
The AT&T CRISP Microprocessor is a high performance general purpose 32-bit processor. It is a single CMOS chip containing 172,163 transistors. The instruction-set architecture is a registerless 21⁄2 address memory-to-memory machine with a small number of instructions and addressing modes.1 The CRISP instruction-set is relatively independent of any particular implementation. High performance is ...
متن کاملSemiconductor Flash Memory Scaling Semiconductor Flash Memory Scaling Abstract Semiconductor Flash Memory Scaling
Semiconductor flash memory is an indispensable component of modern electronic systems. The minimum feature size of an individual CMOSFET has shrunk to 15nm with an equivalent gate oxide thickness (EOT) of 0.8nm in 2001. However, semiconductor flash memory scaling is far behind CMOS logic device scaling. For example, the EOT of the gate stack in semiconductor flash memory is still more than 10nm...
متن کاملLimits of CMOS Technology Scaling and Technologies Beyond - CMOS
The scaling of CMOS transistors has driven the tremendous growth of the semiconductor industry for the last four decades. However, most experts are saying CMOS is reaching its limits. This paper discusses the technologies that may postponing the scaling limit and the technologies that may replace CMOS when the limit is reached.
