It describes computers with multiple processing elements that perform the same operation on multiple data simultaneously. Thus, such machines exploit data level parallelism. History The first use of SIMD instructions was in vector supercomputers of the early 1970s such as the CDC Star-100 and the Texas Instruments ASC, which could operate on a vector of data with a single instruction. Vector processing was especially popularized by Cray in the 1970s and 1980s. Vector-processing architectures are now considered separate from SIMD machines, based on the fact that vector machines processed the vectors one word at a time through pipelined processors (though still based on a single instruction), whereas modern SIMD machines process all elements of the vector simultaneously.[1] The first era of modern SIMD machines was characterized by massively parallel processing-style supercomputers such as the Thinking Machines CM-1 and CM-2. These machines had many limited-functionality processors that would work in parallel.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.

  • Architecture of VIA Isaiah (NANO)
    Architecture of VIA Isaiah (NANO) Jan Davidek dav053 2008/2009 1. Introduction to the VIA Nano™ Processor The last few years have seen significant changes within the microprocessor industry, and indeed the entire IT landscape. Much of this change has been driven by three factors: the increasing focus of both business and consumer on energy efficiency, the rise of mobile computing, and the growing performance requirements of computing devices in a fast expanding multimedia environment. In the microprocessor space, the traditional race for ever faster processing speeds has given way to one that factors in the energy used to achieve those speeds. Performance per watt is the new metric by which quality is measured, with all the major players endeavoring to increase the performance capabilities of their products, while reducing the amount of energy that they require. Based on the recently announced VIA Isaiah Architecture, the new VIA Nano™ processor is a next-generation x86 processor that sets the standard in power efficiency for tomorrow’s immersive internet experience. With advanced power and thermal management features helping to make it the world’s most energy efficient x86 processor architecture, the VIA Nano processor also boasts ultra modern functionality, high-performance computation and media processing, and enhanced VIA PadLock™ hardware security features. Augmenting the VIA C7® family of processors, the VIA Nano processor’s pin compatibility extends the VIA processor platform portfolio, enabling OEMs to offer a wider range of products for different market segments, and furnishing them with the ability to upgrade device performance without incurring the time and cost expense associated with system redesign.
