This paper presents an instruction set simulator of a 32-bit CPU and explains its use in embedded software development. Interaction of the ISS with transaction level model of a complex peripheral ...

For an old CPU, finding all the valid instructions wasn’t very hard. You simply tried them all. Sure, really old CPUs might make it hard to tell what the instruction did, but once CPUs got illegal ...

When asked about how a central processing unit works, you might say it’s the brain of the computer. It does all the calculations on math and makes logical decisions based on certain outcomes. However, ...

When we are introduced to the internals of a microprocessor, it is most likely that we will be shown something like one of the first generation of 8-bit CPUs from the 1970s. There will be the familiar ...

This paper presents an instruction set simulator of an 8-bit, MCS-51 compatible CPU core, and shows how to use it in embedded software development process; Method to control and debug CPU using ...

IBM’s Tuesday, October 15th announcement of the PowerPC 970 was one of the most heavily anticipated processor announcements in recent memory. Mac users, would-be Mac users, Linux enthusiasts, and ...

Instruction Level Parallelism means executing multiple instructions or pieces of instructions at the same time to make the computer run faster. Computers have hit the parallelism wall. This paper will ...
