Superscalar Instruction Execution in the 21164 Alpha Microprocessor

The 21164 is a new quad-issue superscalar Alpha microprocessor. This new high-performance chip can execute 1.2 billion instructions per second. The part became available in January of 1995 and delivered SPECint92/SPECfp92 performance of 335/500 (...
Internal architecture of Alpha 21164 microprocessor
COMPCON '95: Proceedings of the 40th IEEE Computer Society International Conference

The internal architecture of a 1200 MIPS/600 MFLOPS (peak) high-performance CMOS ALPHA microprocessor chip is described. This second-generation implementation is the world's fastest microprocessor. It contains a quad-issue superscalar instruction unit, ...
Vector vs. superscalar and VLIW architectures for embedded multimedia benchmarks
MICRO 35: Proceedings of the 35th annual ACM/IEEE international symposium on Microarchitecture

Multimedia processing on embedded devices requires an architecture that leads to high performance, low power consumption, reduced design complexity, and small code size. In this paper, we use EEMBC, an industrial benchmark suite, to compare the VIRAM ...
