Overview of a 32-Bit Microprocessor Design Project
Erschienen in:
VLSI CAD Tools and Applications
This paper will attempt to give an overview of a large microprocessor design project. Its purpose is not so much to describe a particular machine, but rather to describe the design process. It will present the design approaches taken and the design tools used or created during the project, and will cover topics such as the division of work, problem areas and important results. However, in order to properly set that discussion in perspective, a brief description of the microprocessor will also be given.
