  • The Design and Verification of the Alphastation 600 5-Series Workstation by John H
    The Design and Verification of the AlphaStation 600 5-series Workstation by John H. Zurawski, John E. Murray, and Paul J. Lemmon ABSTRACT The AlphaStation 600 5-series workstation is a high-performance, uniprocessor design based on the Alpha 21164 microprocessor and on the PCI bus. Six CMOS ASICs provide high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects between the CPU, the main memory, and the I/O subsystem. The verification effort used directed, pseudorandom testing on a VERILOG software model. A hardware-based verification technique provided a test throughput that resulted in a significant improvement over software tests. This technique currently involves the use of graphics cards to emulate generic DMA devices. A PCI hardware demon is under development to further enhance the capability of the hardware-based verification. INTRODUCTION The high-performance AlphaStation 600 5-series workstation is based on the fastest Alpha microprocessor to date -- the Alpha 21164.[1] The I/O subsystem uses the 64-bit version of the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and the Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus. The AlphaStation 600 supports three operating systems: Digital UNIX (formerly DEC OSF/1), OpenVMS, and Microsoft's Windows NT. This workstation series uses the DECchip 21171 chip set designed and built by Digital. These chips provide high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects between the CPU, the main memory, and the PCI bus. This paper describes the architecture and features of the AlphaStation 600 5-series workstation and the DECchip 21171 chip set. The system overview is first presented, followed by a detailed discussion of the chip set. The paper then describes the cache and memory designs, detailing how the memory design evolved from the workstation's requirements.

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.

  • Flexible, Powerful, and Upgradeable. Decstation 5000/100 Series Workstations
    DECstation 5000/100 Series Workstations Flexible, Powerful, and Upgradeable. TM d i g i t a l TEOV005 The DECstation 5000/100 Series workstations are the mid-range of Digital’s UNIX- based RISC desktop systems. To protect you against technological obsolescene, the DECstation 5000/100 Series, along with the entire DECstation 5000 family, uses a CPU daughter card design. By placing the CPU on a removable 3-inch x 5-inch daughter card, you can easily upgrade your system to higher performance CPUs, such as future R4000 processors. The DECstation 5000/133, the newest member of the DECstation 5000/100 Series, is available as a complete workstation or as an upgrade for your exiting DECstation 5000 Model 120 or Model 125 workstations. The DECstation 5000/133 provides much higher performance than previous models, almost doubling the CPU performance of the DECstation 5000 Model 120 system. The DECstation 5000/133 workstation offers a low cost of entry combined with the memory expansion and internal disk storage capacity generally found only in more ex- pensive workstations. With the new HX graphics option, the Model 133 delivers excel- lent performance for any application requiring fast 2D drawing speeds, such as ECAD and MCAD. In addition to the HX option, the DECstation 5000/133 supports a full range of graphics options, from the greyscale MX option through accelerated 3D color with the PXG Turbo+ option. More than 2800 applications are available on the DECstation family. And, all DECsta- tion 5000 family workstations are ACE compatible. So, applications developed today on DECstation 5000/100 Series workstations will run on ARC-compliant sytems in the future.

  • Location SCSI Addresses and Partitions
    Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Memorandum From: Burt Rosenberg To: Ali Waqar Re: Cs.cs.miami.edu Date: May 6, 1993 Cc: Math/CS Staff and Faculty This memo documents the switch settings and administration decisions made during the installation of the Decstation 5000/240, called cs.cs.miami.edu. Location The Decstation was set up in 406A and its monitor and keyboard brought out into 406 through a small hole in the wall. Securing the body of the Decstation from tampering was thought to be important. SCSI Addresses and Partitions The Decstation 5000/240 installation includes two extender boxes and a CDROM. The extender boxes have DIP switches located beneath plastic snap-off panels on the rear wall. The three hard disks have their SCSI ad- dress set by these DIP switches. The address of the tape drive is set by jumpers inside the extender box. The CDROM has an easy to use switch on the back.
