SAN JOSE, Calif. — Swedish startup Xelerated Packet Devices said it will defy conventional wisdom by introducing a fully pipelined network processor that operates at 40-Gbit/second wire speed by next ...

In my previous article, Understanding the Microprocessor, I gave a high-level overview of what a microprocessor is and how it functions. I talked about the kinds of tasks it performs and the different ...

To my knowledge, processors with longer pipelines (P4) are able to run at higher frequencies as opposed to those with shorter piplines (Athlon). I've read that from several places but none of them ...

Quarter long team project that entails designing a processor for a complete Instruction Set. Involves ISA design, design of components, datapath and control for a pipelined processor to implement the ...

As organizations face increasing challenges with managing vast amounts of telemetry data, Edge Delta's new Multi-Processor Nodes and Live Capture capabilities provide the tools needed to gain deeper ...

Design and understanding of the computer system as a whole unit. Performance Evaluation and its role in computer system design; Instruction Set Architecture design, Datapath design and optimizations ...

The processor we will be considering in this tutorial is the MIPS processor. The MIPS processor, designed in 1984 by researchers at Stanford University, is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) ...
