Title
The Anatomy of a HighPerformance Microprocessor: A Systems Perspective,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A rare look into highperformance mainstream processors exposed with clarity and elegance'. Harold Stone, NEC Research Institute 'A unique combination of a very well developed, scholarly, thorough, longterm, perspective with detailed handson insight into actual current industrial practices'. Tore Larsen, Princeton University and University of Tromso 'There are few books on the market which can compete with this text either in the technical depth of the presentation, or the completeness of the coverage'. Ron Hoelzeman, University of Pittsburgh 'The best and easiest way to learn how the latest superscalar microprocessors really work. Not only are the microarchitectural features well presented, but they are presented along with a historical context which shows that the new microprocessors have inherited much from the supercomputers of the 60's and 70's'. Edmund Gallizzi, Eckerd College This work describes in detail the microarchitecture of a highperformance microprocessor, giving an integrated treatment of platform and systems issues relating to the design and implementation of microprocessorbased systems. Unique in content and approach, the accompanying interactive CDROM provides multiple books and a wide variety of materials: Complete data books Articles from journals and conference proceedings Manuscripts of important historical interest IEEE and Industry standards VHDL and Verilog simulators Numerous video and audio clips Complete text of the book, including figures and tables Shriver and Smith use AMD's K6 3D microprocessor as a 'case study' basis for discussions on microarchitecture issues and increasingly important industry specfications and platforms on systems issues. This book is an important reference for individuals building systems using microprocessors and readers looking for significant insights into fundamental design guidelines that transcend the design, implementation, and use of a specific microprocessor. Practitioners, academics, and technical and product managers alike will benefit from this detailed overview of microprocessors, platforms, and systems for years in the future. The main sections: Microprocessors, Platforms, and Systems A Microarchitecture Case Study The K6 3D Microarchitecture Technology Components of Platform Architecture Platform Memory Technology Platform Optimization Techniques and Directions System Requirements: All of the material on the companion CDROM, except for the three simulators, can be used on any system with the following: A CDROM reader, a video board, and a sound card Acrobat Reader with Search Version 3.01 or higher All of the standard plugins installed including the Search, Movie, and Weblink plugins Adobe Acrobat Readers with Search Version 3.01 for Windows systems and some versions of Unix are included on the companion CDROM.
