Counterrow Pipeline Processor Architecture Counterrow Pipeline Processor Architecture

The counter ow pipeline processor architecture (cfpp) is a proposal for a family of microarchitectures for risc processors. The architecture derives its name from its fundamental feature, namely that instructions and results ow in opposite directions within a pipeline and interact as they pass. The architecture seeks geometric regularity in processor chip layout, purely local control to avoid p...

The Superthreaded Processor Architecture

The common single-threaded execution model limits processors to exploiting only the relatively small amount of instruction-level parallelism available in application programs. The superthreaded processor, on the other hand, is a concurrent multithreaded architecture (CMA) that can exploit the multiple granularities of parallelism available in general-purpose application programs. Unlike other C...

Novel Graph Processor Architecture

Many problems in computation and data analysis can be framed by graphs and solved with graph algorithms. A graph, which is defined as a set of vertices connected by edges, as shown on the left in Figure 1, adapts well to presenting data and relationships. Graphs take two forms: a directed graph has edges with orientation as shown in Figure 1, and an undirected graph has edges with no orientatio...

Trends in Processor Architecture

Processors have undergone a tremendous evolution throughout their history. A key milestone in this evolution was the introduction of the microprocessor, term that refers to a processor that is implemented in a single chip. The first microprocessor was introduced by Intel under the name of Intel 4004 in 1971. It contained about 2,300 transistors, was clocked at 740 KHz and delivered 92,000 instr...
