"The main purpose of this book is to provide a complete documentation of the MMIX computer and its assembly language, together with all necessary low-level details such as the format of MMMIX object files. A secondary purpose is to provide literate programs of interest in their own right." "All programs of this book are in the public domain, and their latest versions can be downloaded from MMIX's home page together with dozens of example programs from The Art of Computer Programming."--Jacket.
Embedded Systems Architecture is a practical and technical guide to understanding the components that make up an embedded system's architecture. This book is perfect for those starting out as technical professionals such as engineers, programmers and designers of embedded systems; and also for students of computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering. It gives a much-needed 'big picture' for recently graduated engineers grappling with understanding the design of real-world systems for the first time, and provides professionals with a systems-level picture of the key elements that can go into an embedded design, providing a firm foundation on which to build their skills. - Real-world approach to the fundamentals, as well as the design and architecture process, makes this book a popular reference for the daunted or the inexperienced: if in doubt, the answer is in here! - Fully updated with new coverage of FPGAs, testing, middleware and the latest programming techniques in C, plus complete source code and sample code, reference designs and tools online make this the complete package - Visit the companion web site at http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780123821966/ for source code, design examples, data sheets and more - A true introductory book, provides a comprehensive get up and running reference for those new to the field, and updating skills: assumes no prior knowledge beyond undergrad level electrical engineering - Addresses the needs of practicing engineers, enabling it to get to the point more directly, and cover more ground.

The 9 papers presented were carefully selected and reviewed for inclusion in the book. The result is a collection of high-quality papers discussing current issues in the area of benchmarking research and technology. The topics covered are: benchmark suites, CPU benchmarking, power/thermal benchmarking, and modeling and sampling techniques.
Conceptual and precise, Modern Processor Design brings together numerous microarchitectural techniques in a clear, understandable framework that is easily accessible to both graduate and undergraduate students. Complex practices are distilled into foundational principles to reveal the authors insights and hands-on experience in the effective design of contemporary high-performance micro-processors for mobile, desktop, and server markets. Key theoretical and foundational principles are presented in a systematic way to ensure comprehension of important implementation issues. The text presents fundamental concepts and foundational techniques such as processor design, pipelined processors, memory and I/O systems, and especially superscalar organization and implementations. Two case studies and an extensive survey of actual commercial superscalar processors reveal real-world developments in processor design and performance. A thorough overview of advanced instruction flow techniques, including developments in advanced branch predictors, is incorporated. Each chapter concludes with homework problems that will institute the groundwork for emerging techniques in the field and an introduction to multiprocessor systems.
