Processor Microarchitecture: An Implementation Perspective (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture)

This lecture presents a study of the microarchitecture of contemporary microprocessors. Get Processor Microarchitecture computer books for free.
The focus is on implementation aspects, with discussions on their implications in terms of performance, power, and cost of state-of-the-art designs. The lecture starts with an overview of the different types of microprocessors and a review of the microarchitecture of cache memories. Then, it describes the implementation of the fetch unit, where special emphasis is made on the required support for branch prediction. The next section is devoted to instruction decode with special focus on the particular support to decoding x86 instructions. The next chapter presents the allocation stage and pays special attention to the implementation of register renaming. Afterward, Check Processor Microarchitecture our best computer books for 2013. All books are available in pdf format and downloadable from rapidshare, 4shared, and mediafire.
