Range for Microprocessors

چکیده
A microprocessor clock generator based upon an analog phase-locked loop (PLL) is described for deskewing the internal logic control clock to an external system clock. This PLL is fully integrated onto a 1.2-million-transistor microprocessor in 0 . 8 p CMOS technology without the need for external components. It operates with a lock range from 5 up to 110 MHz. The clock skew is less than 0.1 ns, with a peak-to-peak jitter of less than 0.3 ns for a 50-MHz system clock frequency.

Multis: a new class of multiprocessor computers.
Multis are a new class of computers based on multiple microprocessors. The small size, low cost, and high performance of microprocessors allow the design and construction of computer structures that offer significant advantages in manufacture, price-performance ratio, and reliability over traditional computer families. Currently, commercial multis consist of 4 to 28 modules, which include micro...

متن کاملA parallel sort-balance mutual range-join algorithm on hypercube computers
This paper presents an eecient parallel algorithm for computing the mutual range-join of N sets of numbers on shared-nothing hypercube computers. The algorithm iteratively joins each set to the mutual range-join of the preceding sets. Each join is performed on all processors of the hypercube in parallel. The algorithm uses a global sorting method to distribute the elements of the rst set evenly...
متن کاملExploiting the Data-level Parallelism in Modern Microprocessors for Neural Network Simulation
Fast SIMD-parallel execution units are available in most modern microprocessors. They provide an internal parallelism degree in the range from 2 to 16 and can accelerate many data-parallel algorithms. In this paper the suitability of ve diierent SIMD units (Intel's MMX and SSE, AMD's 3DNow!, Motorola's AltiVec and Sun's VIS) for the simulation of neural networks is compared. The appropriateness...
متن کاملPerformance modeling and evaluation of topologies for low-latency SCI systems
This paper presents an analytical performance characterization and topology comparison from a latency perspective for the Scalable Coherent Interface (SCI). Experimental methods are used to determine constituent latency components and verify the results obtained by these analytical models as close approximations of reality. In contrast with simulative models, analytical SCI models are faster to...
متن کاملS/390 microprocessor design
The technical, business, and market requirements for large enterprise servers (“mainframes”) strongly influence the design of microprocessors for these systems. Specific characteristics of the ESA/390 and z/Architecture instruction set architectures lead to different pipeline and branch prediction strategies than are found in most other microprocessors. The requirements for robust, scalable per...
