  LZW-based code compression for VLIW embedded systems
Lin C., Xie Y., Wolf W.  Design, automation and test in Europe (Proceedings of the Conference on Design, Automation and Test in Europe, Paris, France, Feb 16-20, 2004) 76-81, 2004.  Type: Proceedings

This is a relevant piece of work in the domain of dynamic code compression and decompression in deeply embedded central processing units. The authors identify the code between two branch/jump targets as a potentially good candidate for...

  Instruction level redundant number computations for fast data intensive processing in asynchronous processors
Lee J., Kim E., Lee D. Journal of Systems Architecture: the EUROMICRO Journal 51(3): 151-164, 2005.  Type: Article

This paper is poorly written and poorly edited. The crude sentence structure makes it difficult to read. The material covered is over three years old, and no attempt has been made to confirm the hypotheses with laboratory results. Desp...

  Guide to RISC processors: for programmers and engineers
Dandamudi S., Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 2005. 387 pp.  Type: Book (9780387210179)

An elementary introduction to reduced instruction set computing (RISC) processors, with an overall emphasis on the machine-level language and not on functional chip design, is presented in this book. It is split into three sections: a ...

  Solutions Relating Static and Dynamic Machine Code Measurements
Davidson J., Rabung J., Whalley D. IEEE Transactions on Computers 41(4): 444-454, 1992.  Type: Article

The authors give a well-written account of a new perspective on the traditional problem of understanding the nature and behavior of instruction sets. They advance the thesis that static and dynamic frequency counts of instructions are ...

  Alpha architecture (videotape)
Sites D., Meyer D., University Video Communications, Stanford, CA, 1992.  Type: Book (9781555582029)

In 1968, Digital Equipment Corporation’s PDP-11 established the norm for 16-bit minicomputers. A decade later, its VAX did the same for 32-bit minis. Digital hopes for a repeat success with Alpha in the 64-bit RISC world. Sin...

  PA-RISC design issues (videotape)
Mahon M., University Video Communications, Stanford, CA, 1992.  Type: Book

RISC architectures are subtler than just simplifying the set of instructions and expanding the object program image length, as this videotaped lecture makes clear. Mahon is one of the architects of the PA-RISC system of chips. While ...

  RISC/CISC development and test support
Hobbs M., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1992.  Type: Book (9780133884142)

The design, development, and testing of microprocessors are practiced by a select group of professionals. The tools of their trade are presumably quite specialized. If a book is to cover these tools and techniques, it needs to be more ...

  The Evolution of Instruction Sequencing
Krick R., Dollas A. Computer 24(4): 5-15, 1991.  Type: Article

Eight sections, two sidebars, one cartoon, and a glossary of terms make up this paper. In addition, it has one figure and one table. The sections are “Memory Bandwidth,” “Instruction Buffers,” &a...

  High performance RISC systems
Tabak D. Microprocessors & Microsystems 13(6): 355-372, 1989.  Type: Article

This review paper surveys a group of modern microprocessors loosely affiliated under the acronym “RISC.” In a 17-page survey, some small space should have been devoted to a definition of RISC beyond decoding the acr...

  General addressing mechanisms for microprocessors
Steven G., Williams F. Microprocessors & Microsystems 12(2): 67-75, 1988.  Type: Article

This paper brings an interesting question about the addressing modes of current microprocessors to our attention. For those of us concerned with assembly language programming or compiler writing this is often a painful subject, as most...
