  • First Online:
Handbook of Computer Architecture

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the architectural aspects of single-core architecture. It starts with a discussion on the different design philosophies of choosing the processor’s instruction set architecture and continues with a discussion on optimizations that break the barriers between the traditional software and hardware interfaces. Finally, it discusses the main differences between general-purpose processors and dedicated (domain-specific) architectures.
