Abstract

See full text

A high performance CPU of the RISC (reduced instruction set) type employs a standardized, fixed instruction size, and permits only simplified memory access data width and addressing modes. The instruction set is limited to register-to-register operations and register load/store operations. Byte manipulation instructions, included to permit use of previously-established data structures, include the facility for doing in-register byte extract, insert and masking, along with non-aligned load and store instructions. The provision of load/locked and store/conditional instructions permits the implementation of atomic byte writes.
