Description

Instruction Set Architectures of RISC processors.  Mips pipeline implementation – data hazards, control/branch hazards, dependencies, result forwarding, stall, delayed branch. Memory-hierarchy organization – cache memories. Instruction-level parallelism – superscalar processors, VLIW, out of order execution, register renaming, branch prediction.

I/O. Hardware interrupts. Modern processors. Clusters – interconnection networks.
