The DP8051 has a Pipelined RISC architecture and executes 120-300 million instructions per second. Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark program runs from 11.46 to 15.55 times faster, than the original 80C51 at the ...

The ISA (instruction set architecture) was created by a process of removing things that weren't strictly necessary, resulting ...

By the way, a good example of a non-pipelined CPU is Blue, which I’ve talked about before. The clock generator uses a one-hot scheme to produce 8 clock enables that govern what part of the ...

Usually, designing a CPU is a lengthy process, especially so if you’re making a new ISA too. This is something that can take months or even years before you first get code to run. But what ...
