68k
is there anyone who can give me some answer on the following questions: Can we use "move.w d1,a0" instead of "movea.w d1,a0" ? Why or why not? and the other question is: move.w a0,d0 Is this a legitimate instruction? thanks ... 23 Jan 2007 13:46

Miniature clusters
This isn't really an architecture question, so much as a design one, but I can't think of a more appropriate forum. I am referring to systems with at least 16 CPUs (preferably actually CPUs, not just cores) with a reasonable specification (e.g. ECC if possible), that are suitable for putting in an ordinary offi... 2 Feb 2007 13:35

Out-of-order (Dynamic pipeline) question?
Hi all, I am new to CPU design and reading "Computer Organization and Design 2nd". There is a litter information about Out-of-order (Dynamic pipeline). And I found the MIPS design example is static pipeline. Hence, is there any good tutorial or article talk about how to design a simple Out-of-order (Dynamic pi... 23 Jan 2007 09:59

Unfolded segment:offset 8086?
Hello! I am an apprentice of the Intel 8086 CPU and its assembler language. I was thinking about maybe there existing an "unfolded segment:offset" version of the 8086 (NOT 80286, NOT 80386, NOT 80486, NOT Pentium, NOT Itanium, ...) The specs would be exactly the same as the good old 8... 16 Jan 2007 19:42

Help for Simplescalar's cache.c code
Hello, I'm trying to understand this fragment of code in Simplescalar's cache.h code (I've search and look over dozens sites, including simplescalar.com and there's no help about the coding): /* cache access macros */ #define CACHE_TAG(cp, addr) ((addr) >> (cp)->tag_shift) #define CACHE_SET(cp, addr) (((add... 11 Jan 2007 05:33

Structure of a circuit!!
Dear All, May you be kind enough to tell me how can we build a 2-input NAND gate with rise propagation delay= fall propagation delay= delay of a unit inverter?? Your help is highly appreciated, Regards ... 10 Jan 2007 19:44

A Sorting Circuit in Digital Logic Design
Hello; I am trying to implement a Linear Array Sort that takes in 10 8-bit inputs serially and outputs the inputs in increasing order. I figured out that Bubble Sort is the easiest kind of sort that can be implemented in hardware. The first step to implement this Linear Array Sorter was to read in the inputs. I... 2 Jan 2007 10:29

old microcode listings
Does anybody know where I can find microcode listings for old Data General, IBM S/360, or Norsk Data machines? Microcode for the T-11 ("Tiny") PDP-11 microcontroller would also be greatly appreciated. -Peter ... 22 Jan 2007 05:51
