High-Performance Energy-Efficient Microprocessor Design - Integrated Circuits and Systems Vojin G Oklobdzija Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2006 edition

Description for Sales People: The microprocessors of today contain close to a billion transistors, achieving the performance of the super-computers of a decade ago. Designing such processors takes hundreds of people. This design handbook is written by prominent microprocessor design leaders from the industry and academia. It provides complete coverage of all aspects of complex microprocessor design process including technology, power management, clocking, high-performance architecture, design methodologies, memory and I/O design, computer aided design, testing and design for testability. The book is intended to be a useful companion for every design engineer working in the field. Table of Contents: Ultra-Low-Power Processor Design.- Design of Energy Efficient Digital Circuits.- Clocked Storage Elements in Digital Systems.- Static Memory Design.- Large-Scale Circuit Placement.- Energy-Delay Characteristics of CMOS Adders.- High-Performance Energy-Efficient Dual-Supply ALU Design.- Binary Floating-Point Unit Design.- Microprocessor Architecture for Yield Enhancement and Reliable Operation.- How Is Bandwidth Used in Computers?.- High-Speed IO Design.- Processor Core and Low-Power SOC Design for Embedded Systems. Marc Notes: This text provides complete coverage of all aspects of complex microprocessor design: technology, power management, clocking, high-performance architecture, design methodologies, memory and I/O design, computer aided design, testing and design for testability. Publisher Marketing: Microprocessors of today contain close to a billion transistors, while achieving the performance of super-computers just a decade ago. Designing such processors takes hundreds of people organized into large teams. High Performance Energy Efficient Microprocessor Design is written by the world s most prominent microprocessor design leaders from the industry and academia. It provides a complete coverage of all the aspects of a complex microprocessor design process from technology, power management, clocking, high-performance architecture, design methodologies, memory and I/O design, computer aided design, testing and design for testability. The chapters are written to provide the latest state of the art knowledge of particular aspects of microprocessor design, while including sufficient tutorial content in order to bring non-experts up to speed. High Performance Energy Efficient Microprocessor Design is intended to be a useful companion book for every design engineer working in the related areas and a source of technical information as well as a comprehensive reference in the field. It should also serve as the source book for technical and business managers involved in microprocessor based design and manufacture. The chapters are organized in a way which makes it possible to use this book as a textbook for graduate courses in advanced digital and system design. The book is intended to highlight practical problems encountered in designing state of the art processors, while yet covering fundamental principles that are independent of technology."
