Q

WHAT IS INSIDE A MICROPROCESSOR?

A

The microprocessor or CPU reads each instruction from the memory, decodes it and executes it.
It processes the data as required in the instructions. The processing is in the form of arithmetic and logical
operations. The data is retrieved from memory or taken from an input device and the result of processing
is stored in the memory or delivered to an appropriate output device, all as per the instructions. To perform
all these functions, the μP (microprocessor) incorporates various functional units in an appropriate
manner. Such an internal structure or organizational structure of μP, which determines how it operates,
is known as its architecture.

The original version of the 8085 microprocessor without suffix A was manufactured by Intel. It was quickly replaced with the 8085A, which had a bug-fixer. A few years later, in the 1980s, Intel introduced the 8085AH, the HMOS version of 8085 A followed by the 80C85A, the CMOS version of the 8085A.

integrated circuit, or IC
52
Microprocessors can be classified based on their 3 specifications
1. General-purpose processors 2. Microcontrollers 3. Special-purpose processors
53
are those that are used in general computer system integration and can be used by the programmer for any application.
General-purpose processors
54
are microprocessor chips with built-in hardware for the memory and ports.
Microcontrollers
55
are designed specifically to handle special functions required for an application.
Special-purpose processors
56
are also examples of this category of microprocessors
Application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)
57
Based on the architecture and hardware of the processors, they are classified as follows
1. RISC processors 2. CISC processors 3. VLIW processors 4. Superscalar processors
58
is a processor architecture that supports limited machine language instructions.
RISC
59
have instructions composed of many machine operations.
Very long instruction word (VLIW) processors
60
use complex hardware to achieve parallelism. It is possible to have overlapping of instruction execution to increase the speed of execution.
Superscalar processors
61
It is designed to reduce the execution time by simplifying the instruction set of the computer.
RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer
62
Characteristics of RISC The major characteristics of a RISC processor are as follows:
* It consists of simple instructions. * It supports various data-type formats. * It utilizes simple addressing modes and fixed length instructions for pipelining. * It supports register to use in any context. * One cycle execution time. * “LOAD” and “STORE” instructions are used to access the memory location. * It consists of larger number of registers. * It consists of less number of transistors
63
It is designed to minimize the number of instructions per program, ignoring the number of cycles per instruction.
CISC stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer.
64
Characteristics of CISC
* Variety of addressing modes. * Larger number of instructions. * Variable length of instruction formats. * Several cycles may be required to execute one instruction. * Instruction-decoding logic is complex. * One instruction is required to support multiple addressing modes.
65
architecture in P-DSPs (programmable DSP) increases the number of instructions that are processed per cycle. It is a concatenation of several short instructions and requires multiple execution units running in parallel, to carry out the instructions in a single cycle.
Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW)
66
Advantages of VLIW architecture
* Increased performance. * Potentially scalable i.e. more execution units can be added and so more instructions can be packed into the VLIW instruction.
67
Disadvantages of VLIW architecture
* New programmer needed. * Program must keep track of Instruction scheduling. * Increased memory use. * High power consumption.
68
is a CPU that implements a form of parallelism called instruction-level parallelism within a single processor. In contrast to a scalar processor that can execute at most one single instruction per clock cycle, a superscalar processor can execute more than one instruction during a clock cycle by simultaneously dispatching multiple instructions to different execution units on the processor.
superscalar processor
69
a single-core superscalar processor is classified as an
SISD processor (Single Instruction stream, Single Data stream),
70
a single-core superscalar processor that supports short vector operations could be classified as
SIMD (Single Instruction stream, Multiple Data streams).
71
A multi-core superscalar processor is classified as an
MIMD processor (Multiple Instruction streams, Multiple Data streams).
72
is typically also pipelined, superscalar and pipelining execution are considered different performance enhancement techniques.

73
The instruction set, also called
ISA (instruction set architecture),
74
is part of a computer that pertains to programming, which is more or less machine language.
