[reports] EECS466 Computer Architecture, Project Report

We submitted this report during EECS466.



In this project we were asked to compile the requirements for a general
purpose computer architecture that fits in with contemporary architecture
designs and addresses most salient features of today's general purpose
computer users. Accordingly we have prepared this report describing our
efforts. While doing our study we came across many modern computer
architecture paradigms as well as the changing focus of general purpose
computer user towards multimedia rather than traditional applications.
Because of fundamental limitations on time, we cannot comment on the
relative pro's and con's of the different computer architecture paradigms
and leave it to the reader to choose the one that best fits the scenario. We
will still describve briefly on what is current, but finally we will go with
only one architecture, Simultaneous Multithreading, and discuss the issues
that need to be solved for extending the basic DLX architecture that we have
studied in class to include SMT-like funtionality.
