 Microarchitecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Microarchitecture consists of a set of microprocessor design techniques used to implement the instruction set (including microcode, pipelining, cache systems, etc.).

 CPU design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Improvements in pipelining and caching are the two major microarchitectural advances that have enabled processor performance to keep pace with the circuit technology on which they are based.
One problem with an instruction pipeline is that there are a class of instructions that must make their way entirely through the pipeline before execution can continue.

The ARM11 microarchitecture was developed in close consultation with leading operating system vendors and supports the WindowsCE, Symbian OS, Palm OS, and Linux operating systems.
The new ARM11 microarchitecture also provides considerably improved operating system performance by use of physically addressed caches, and new ARMv6 architecture instructions that accelerate context switching.
High performance is delivered using an 8-stage integer pipeline, static and dynamic branch prediction, and separate load-store and arithmetic pipelines to maximize instruction throughput.

 Microarchitecture aims for SoC dominance: News from MIPS Technologies
The microarchitecture fits industry-standard SoC construction methodologies as it is fully synthesisable and incorporates OCP high-speed point-to-point on-chip interconnect.
"The 24K microarchitecture is a direct response to these trends, bringing high performance and programmability to solve the business challenges of next-generation SoC design".
Using high performance, programmable technology, such as the MIPS32 24K microarchitecture, SoC designers can leverage falling transistor costs to implement hardwired functionality in software.

 Intel targets new "XScale" CPU core at mobile & Internet apps
Building on Intel StrongARM technology, the Intel XScale microarchitecture core is manufactured on Intel's advanced 0.18-micron process technology.
To support the rapid development of applications for Intel StrongARM processors and the Intel XScale microarchitecture, Intel is also delivering Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP) for Intel StrongARM, Intel XScale, and Intel IA-32 and IA-64 processors.
The Intel XScale microarchitecture will be supported by various operating systems, including Microsoft Windows CE, VXWorks and IxWorks from WindRiver, EPOC from Symbian, and Embedded Linux from multiple vendors.

 P6 family microarchitecture
The microarchitecture pipeline is divided into four sections (the 1st level and 2nd level caches, the front end, the out-of-order execution core, and the retire section).
When completed instructions are found, the retirement unit commits the results of these instructions to memory and/or the IA-32 registers (the processor's eight general-purpose registers and eight x87 FPU data registers) in the order they were originally issued and retires the instructions from the instruction pool.
The P6 family microarchitecture was later enhanced with an on-die, 2nd level cache, called Advanced Transfer Cache.

 [No title]
Since any cache design should be essentially transparent to the programmer (except insofar as varying the cache design may effect the relative timings of memory-accessing instructions), almost all of the actual cache design would be implementation specific given the traditional definition.
In evaluating cache designs it is helpful to consider metrics which take into account the performance of the system as a whole, given a particular cache configuration.
Design issues which apply only to a given implementation and are not visible to the programmer are termed "implementation" or "design" issues to differentiate them from architectural issues.

 Cheap Computers - Information about Intel Pentium 4 Cpu's
The hyper-pipelined technology of the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture doubles the pipeline depth compared to the P6 microarchitecture used on today's Pentium III processors.
Many of these innovations and advances were made possible with improvements in processor technology, process technology, and circuit design and could not previously be implemented in high-volume, manufacturable solutions.
Intel NetBurst microarchitecture delivers a number of innovative features including hyper-pipelined technology, 533-MHz or 400-MHz system bus, Execution Trace Cache, and Rapid Execution Engine, as well as a number of enhanced features such as Advanced Transfer Cache, Advanced Dynamic Execution, enhanced floating-point and multimedia unit, and Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2).

 Microarchitecture Design Validation CM-LIST
The complex microarchitecture mechanisms used to exploit ILP are based on the nature and management of buffer operations.
The goal of this research is to develop an automated method for creating test programs that validate the functionality and performance of a processor design described at the microarchitecture level.
The downside of the performance boost resulting from instruction-level parallelism is the significant increase in design complexity.

 The Tech Report - Intel's Pentium 4 processor - Page 1
Intel added some goodies like MMX, SSE, and integrated cache over the years, and they changed the way the processors were made, but they were all the same basic design.
I won't pretend to be able to evaluate fully the design choices Intel's engineers have made with the NetBurst microarchitecture.
For instance, clock-for-clock performance, or the number of instructions per clock (IPC) the chip can process, should be relatively low.

 Optimizing Video on Servers Using Intel® NetBurstTM Microarchitecture
Both versions of the Intel Xeon processor are built on the newly developed Intel NetBurst microarchitecture.
The Intel NetBurst microarchitecture implements a hardware prefetch mechanism, which automatically prefetches data into the L2 cache in case of sequential data accesses.
One key to the processor's zippy performance can be laid at the doorway of its new 20-stage pipeline that enables the processor to do more optimization in the instruction flow.

 EETimes.com - The end of microarchitecture
The evolution of microprocessor architecture through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s can be viewed as a process of reusing techniques first implemented in IBM mainframes in the 1960s.
As the limits of this approach become apparent, however, software developers must rewrite their code so it can be divided among multiple CPUs.

 Wang 2200 Microarchitecture Description
In some ways, the microarchitecture of the 2200 CPU was very similar to the microarchitecture of the 700 CPU.
This other ROM is required because, other than immediate constants, the microarchitecture has no way of reading data from the microstore.
It is used to send 8b values over the I/O bus or to capture 8b values read from the I/O bus.

 Microarchitecture Evaluation With Physical Planning
Conventionally, microarchitecture designs are mainly guided by the maximum throughput (measured as IPC) and fail to evaluate the impact of architectural decisions on the physical design, and in particular, the impact on the interconnects.
MEVA can consider a variety of user-specified architectural alternatives that trade IPC and cycle time in the design, and performs accurate floorplanning and simulation to fully evaluate each alternative.
In this paper, we propose MEVA, a system to consider both IPC and cycle time in the design space search for a given microarchitectural design.

The resulting unpipelined machine is much closer to the reference architecture, and presumably easier to verify.
We describe a set of remarkably simple algebraic laws governing microarchitectural components.
We apply these laws to incrementally transform a pipeline containing forwarding, branch speculation and hazard detection so that all pipeline stages and forwarding logic are removed.

 Research suggests Actonel protects microarchitecture in one year of treatment
In the Actonel group over the same period there was no significant deterioration versus baseline in any of the microarchitecture parameters analyzed.
In the study reported today, iliac crest biopsies collected from patients were analyzed by 3D microcomputed tomography for microarchitecture parameters, including bone volume, trabecular number, and trabecular separation.
The data showed significant deterioration in the placebo group for these three parameters at one year versus baseline: bone volume decreased 20.3 per cent (p= 0.032), trabecular number decreased 13.5 per cent (p=0.025) and trabecular separation increased 13.1 per cent (p=0.014).
