First the Tick, Now the Tock: Intel® Microarchitecture (Nehalem)

چکیده
Introducing a New Dynamically and Design-Scalable Microarchitecture that Rewrites the Book on Energy Efficiency and Performance Since the introduction of Intel® CoreTM microarchitecture in 2006 and its 2007 45nm enhancements—the Intel Core microarchitecture (Penryn) family of processors—the blistering performance and energy efficiency of Intel® microprocessors have delivered unprecedented capabilities to computer users. Now a new microarchitecture named Nehalem (the foundation of the Intel® Xeon® processor 3500 and 5500 series) builds on these earlier microarchitectural marvels, rewriting the book on processor scalability, performance, and energy efficiency.

Sandy Bridge Spans Generations
Intel’s processor clock has tocked, delivering a nextgeneration architecture for PCs and servers. At the recent Intel Developer’s Forum (IDF), the company unveiled its Sandy Bridge processor architecture, the next tock in its tick-tock roadmap. The new CPU is an evolutionary improvement over its predecessor, Nehalem, tweaking the branch predictor, register renaming, and instruction decoding. Th...
متن کاملCache Organization and Memory Management of the Intel Nehalem Computer Architecture
Intel is now shipping microprocessors using their new architecture codenamed “Nehalem” as a successor to the Core architecture. This design uses multiple cores like its predecessor, but claims to improve the utilization and communication between the individual cores. This is primarily accomplished through better memory management and cache organization. Some benchmarking and research has been p...
متن کاملA Performance Evaluation of the Nehalem Quad-Core Processor for Scientific Computing
In this work we present an initial performance evaluation of Intel's latest, secondgeneration quad-core processor, Nehalem, and provide a comparison to first-generation AMD and Intel quad-core processors Barcelona and Tigerton. Nehalem is the first Intel processor to implement a NUMA architecture incorporating QuickPath Interconnect for interconnecting processors within a node, and the first to...
متن کاملThe Intel AES Instructions Set and the SHA-3 Candidates
The search for SHA-3 is now well-underway and the 51 accepted submissions reflect a wide variety of design approaches. A significant number are built around Rijndael/AES-based operations and, in some cases, the AES round function itself. Many of the design teams have pointed to the forthcoming Intel AES instructions set, to appear on Westmere chips during 2010, when making a variety of performa...
متن کاملNehalem Processor Core Made FPGA Synthesizable
We present a FPGA-synthesizable version of the Intel Nehalem processor core, synthesized, partitioned and mapped to a multi-FPGA emulation system consisting of Xilinx Virtex4 and Virtex-5 FPGAs. To our knowledge, this is the first time a modern state-of-the-art x86 design with the out-oforder micro-architecture is made FPGA synthesizable and capable of high-speed cycle-accurate emulation. Unlik...
