Experience with CAD Tools for the AT&T CRISP Microprocessor

چکیده
The design methodology used in the design of the CRISP Microprocessor is described. CRISP is a high performance 32-bit microprocessor using 172,163 transistors in a 1.75μ CMOS technology. A top down approach was taken in the design of the machine, using tools ranging from instruction set interpreters to detailed device modelling. In addition to a discussion of the tools, this paper describes the experiences, war stories, and lessons learned in trying to apply these tools to a large microprocessor design.

Compiling for the CRISP Microprocessor
In this paper we present code generation considerations for the AT&T CRISP microprocessor. The architecture of CRISP is different from either current CISC or RISC machines in a number of ways. This opens the opportunity for several new types of optimizations. The implications for C language compilation will also be discussed.
متن کاملArchitectural Innovations in the CRISP Microprocessor
The AT&T CRISP Microprocessor is a high performance general purpose 32-bit processor. It is a single CMOS chip containing 172,163 transistors. The instruction-set architecture is a registerless 21⁄2 address memory-to-memory machine with a small number of instructions and addressing modes.1 The CRISP instruction-set is relatively independent of any particular implementation. High performance is ...

The introductory VLSI design course at the University of Michigan has been ooered for over 10 years. More recently, it has been reorganized around a microprocessor design project. This paper describes the course philosophy and content, and the baseline project from which class projects begin. The introductory VLSI course, EECS427, teaches mask-level layout and integrated circuit design veriicat...
متن کاملIntroduction to the CRISP Instruction Set Architecture
Since 1975 the Bell Labs C Machine Project has designed several computer architectures to support the C programming language1 efficiently. These designs have evolved into the current C Machine instruction set architecture. The CRISP Microprocessor is one particular implementation of that architecture. Since we wish to describe the capabilities of a particular implementation in this paper, we wi...
