This book presents a formal model for evaluating the cost
effectiveness of computer architectures. The model can cope with a
wide range of architectures, from CPU design to parallel
supercomputers. To illustrate the formal procedure of trade-off
analyses, several non-pipelined design alternatives for the
well-known RISC architecture called DLX are analyzed
quantitatively. It is formally proved that the interrupt mechanism
proposed for the DLX architecture handles nested interrupts
correctly.
In an appendix all programs to compute the cost and cycle time of
the designs described are listed in C code. Running these simple C
programs on a PC is sufficient to verify the results presented. The
book addresses design professionals and students in computer
architecture.
