If you’d like to build a general-purpose computer, you’ll have to go with a superscalar processor – an x86, PowerPC, or any one of the other really beefy CPU architectures out there.

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 ...

His x86-like design does superscalar out-of-order execution, just like big commercial modern CPUs. Of course [Henry] designs CPU architectures for Intel, so that’s not surprising. You can see a ...

For example, LSI Logic's ZSP is a superscalar processor, since it has dedicated logic in the instruction sequencing unit that schedules a group of instructions to the core resources, including dual ...

San Mateo, Calif. — Superscalar CPU architectures, in which a single instruction stream feeds multiple parallel execution units, began life in the rarefied world of workstations and servers, then ...

N15/N15F are dual-issue superscalar AndesCore™ processors capable of delivering performance at 5.41 CoreMark/MHz, the highest among the same level products in the industry. N15/N15F comes with a ...

The 32-bit N45 is an 8-stage superscalar processor that supports RISC-V specification, including “G” (“IMAFD”) standard instructions, “C” 16-bit compression instructions, and “N” for user-level ...

low-power 32/64-bit RISC-V processor cores and Founding Premier member of RISC-V International, today announces its superscalar multicore AndesCore 45MP family and the first commercial RISC-V ...

Hence, in superscalar design with a large number of registers, a CPU's registers are grouped together into a special unit called a register file. This unit is a memory array, much like the kinds ...
