Architectural Innovations in the CRISP Microprocessor

چکیده
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 achieved by pipelining, caches, an efficient instruction-set, and several new architectural techniques. This paper describes some of the innovative aspects of CRISP’s hardware architecture.

Compiling for the CRISP Microprocessor
In this paper we present code generation considerations for the AT&T CRISP microprocessor. The architecture of CRISP is different from either current CISC or RISC machines in a number of ways. This opens the opportunity for several new types of optimizations. The implications for C language compilation will also be discussed.
متن کاملExperience with CAD Tools for the AT&T CRISP Microprocessor
The design methodology used in the design of the CRISP Microprocessor is described. CRISP is a high performance 32-bit microprocessor using 172,163 transistors in a 1.75μ CMOS technology. A top down approach was taken in the design of the machine, using tools ranging from instruction set interpreters to detailed device modelling. In addition to a discussion of the tools, this paper describes th...
متن کاملCollective Memory as a Measure to Evaluate the Infill Architecture Innovations in Historic Contexts (Case Study: Historic Context of Imamzadeh Yahya in Tehran)
Historic contexts remind us of an era when cities were built based on the needs, goals, and preferences of their inhabitants. In other words, the mental world of both the builders and the inhabitants was closely interrelated. But by ignoring citizens' memories and interests and their mental needs, today's interventions with rapid developments within historic contexts have led to amnesia and the...
متن کاملA Microprocessor-Based Hybrid Duplex Fault-Tolerant System
Reliability is one of the fundamental considerations in the design of industrial control equipment. The microprocessor-based Hybrid Duplex fault-tolerant System (HDS) proposed in this paper has high reliability to meet this demand although its hardware structure is simple. The hardware configuration of HDS and the fault tolerance of this system are described. The switching control strategies in...
متن کاملReading the architectural and functional features of Nasir Al-Molk and Moshir Al-Molk Mosques in Shiraz
Architecture at any given time has been subject to conditions governing society. Similarly, the Qajar era is no exception. Since the beginning of cultural relations with the European countries in the middle of the Qajar era, Iranchr('39')s art and architecture have also entered a new stage. At this stage, the tradition is mixed with modernism and the physical elements of the building are cha...
