Processor Definition and 76 Threads

TL;DR Summary: So I'm doing this coding assignment that involves a simple processor with an ALU. I have a list of operation of the ALU but I don't understand one operation called BNEQZ. I have the list of operation below and an example of it being used to form some loop. Would be very grateful...

A 5-stage DLX pipelined processor is equipped with the forwarding technique. The following code is executed in the processor. XOR R5, R5, R6 //R5=R5 XOR R6 (XOR: logic operation) LW R1, 20(R5) //load word into R1 ADDI R1, R1, #2 //increment R1 by 2 SW 20(R5), R1 //store the content in R1 to...

Am I correct in thinking that the system measures the probability |<f|1>|^2 for some state <f|? Then the probabilities for each of the six states would be: |<0|1>|^2= 0 |<1|1>|^2= 1 |<+x|1>|^2= |(1/√2)|^2 = 1/2 |<-x|1>|^2= |(-1/√2)|^2 = 1/2 |<+y|1>|^2= |(-i/√2)|^2 = 1/2 |<-y|1>|^2= |(i/√2)|^2...

Hi There is a device made by Chord called an M-Scaler: https://chordelectronics.co.uk/product/hugo-mscaler/ It uses a 740 core Xilinx XC7A200T and took a couple of years for the engineer to write the code for it. It pushed the power of the device to its limit to get 1 million taps on the...

Hello, working on a puzzle and I think this may be what I need to do to solve it. I have a long string of characters,752 total with the range 0-9 and a-f. I believe that the data needs to be aligned based off the processor and memory. The Cpu is at 2800MHz and the memory is 1024MB. Is there a...

Hello. I'm looking for a "simple" FFT processor able to process an 8 bits input in an array of at least 512 pts with a speed of at least 20 MHz. I've precised "simple" instead of certain TI DSP with up to 196 pins ! I only need FFT nothing else. Does it exist ? Thanks by advance for replies.

I saw what a fellow member of my Astro Society had obtained from fairly basic gear and I reckon I should be able to 'afford' something like he has. He is using his elderly DSLR, mounted on an ioptron startracker and is producing pictures of nebulae which I couldn't hope to obtain by eye from my...

Dear PF Forum, I have a question (after many questions) about multi cores processor. Does multi cores processor has multi set of register? Supposed an Intel xeon processor has 4 cores. Does it processor have 4 EAX register? E4 BX, 4 ECX, etc? Thank you very much.

From what I understand all processors are based on the Von Neumann architecture and instructions are fed into the processor based on the clock speed. I've recently come across the IBMs new neural chip SyNAPSE. The chip is event driven, operating (using power) only when needed. Can a standard...

Hello, It is my desire to build a functioning robot & start a company called Applied Robotics. I would like to use the IBM TrueNorth processor, however I am not able to get IBM to respond to my requests for info. They have even created a send in form but do not respond to it. Does anyone know...

What are the current obstacles from having one core 10 GHZ CPU processor? What books/courses do you propose to read/take in order to understand the theory behind CPU technology? I assume how to cool such a processor is one of the obstacles, but there are more, right?

This a general, layman question. Computer processors work with binary digits, 1 and 0. Of course, computer processors can be seen as microscopic forms of Babbage's analytic engine. So in reality, in the circuits of a microprocessor, what physical form do binary digits take?

I just did a new build and I am waiting on my Win 7 disc to arrive. in the meanwhile I have transplanted my old drive with XP on it. everything boots fine and I get no errors. When I check the properties under my computer it correctly IDs the processor name however it only lists the speed as...

Hey guys, If I wanted to go about generating just a plain noise signal (don't care what the signal consist of), at a certain frequency (say 10 MHz) what is the best way to go about doing that? If possible I would really like to use a microprocessor or ARM processor (due to the higher...

I read somewhere that if the processor description in XP System Information says 'x86' it's a 32-bit processor. But, the system control panel says P8600 processor and from the Intel processor website the P8600 appears to be a 64-bit. Do I have a 32-bit or 64-bit processor? I'm guessing I have...

Hello I am trying to use lyx word processor to write up scientific reports. Am currently a little frustrated as I am finding it hard to get to grips with all the functions ie I often can''t get it to what I want! Can any suggest any resources that may cover all that one might need in...

Please explain what is a CORE 2 DUO processor.

I know the word size of a processor is how many bits it can 'process' at a time but I'd like some elaborations of that.

More specifically, this question is oriented towards the Intel 8086. I have this manual that lists the number of clock cycles the 8086 requires to execute each of its instructions, prefixes, et cetera. My question is about repeat string instructions. The REP prefix is listed as 2 clocks...

Hello Does anyone know if its true that all software running in real mode must use only 16-bit instructions? is there an authorised sourcet that can aprove od deny it?

I have enabled MathJax on the site. There are no Latex images being displayed. Please post any problems. I'll leave it enabled for the next hour or so and switch back to images until we are 100% ready.

So probably from experience and convenience I use IE (9 now) as main browser and secondary Chrome. This came from the time that Yahoo seemed not compatible with Chrome and gmail is still very uncompatible with IE for me. It doesn't work - but that's not the issue now. I also found that it as...

What will be the technology difference between neural net based processor and the Microprocessor based on VLSI technology we use today?

Can we use heat from processor for heater? In some web, they said that is not feasible to do because the heat is not enough. PC processor has temperature 90 deg C (for game PC),so that is feasible, isn,t?

I am trying to design a multi-cycle processor in Verilog for the MIPS instruction set. However, I cannot get one of my instructions that I stored in memory to execute. This program is a continuation of a lab assignment that was given to my class. The instruction that I am trying to execute...

Is there a relationship between the heat dissipation of a processor and its speed? I am guessing there should be. If there is a relationship, is there any mathematical formula to deduce the heat dissipation of a processor?

Hi guys, I am looking to upgrade my desktop, which is now about 4 years old. It's a Dell XPS 410. Since I've gotten it, I've bumped the RAM to 3 GB, and upgraded the video card to an ATI 4850. Currently, the processor is only a E6300 (@1.86 GHz). Now, I've taken a job where I need to move...

Intel Xeon X5260 / 3.33 GHz processor I am not sure if it's 3.33 GHz per processor or all processors amount to 3.33 GHz? Ted.

Am going to be purchasing a laptop this month. Am specifically looking for a laptop with good processor speed (2GHz and above). I am not going to be loading Windows on it, but Linux Ubuntu. Thus, I don't want all those laptops that come pre-loaded with Windows. Price-range is around $400 - $600...

Hey guys. i am on a little project here, may i know hot to calculate heat dissipation from processor and HDD ? is it using P=I^2R will do ? if so what is my R and I?

I need a little help with a lab project that I am making for my Micro Processor class. My instructor gave me the idea of making a gun chronograph. He wants me to use 4 qrb1134 reflective sensors to detect an object. The qrb1134's will be in two pairs set at a certain distance apart. The...

I have a dual core processor (intel) but I think that fortran programs only uses 1 processor. Can Fortran use both processors to calculate faster?

I've heard it compared to, over-and-over again, stated by people that having a dual-core processor is the same as having two processors and the same as the cores increase. But, I doubt this. Besides the obvious cache issue, how different is a 2.0 dual-core CPU from having two 1.0 uni-core CPU's?

How come processors run faster under cold conditions and slower under hot conditions? I always assumed resitance would play an important part in this and if a processor is made up of some type of semiconductor then resistance would decrease with temperature thus allowing more current to flow...

Hello all, I need some help choosing a microprocessor for a hobby project I am doing. I have 12 photodiodes that are detecting light levels. They will be converted to digital signals (above a certain voltage indicates activation). I need a simple microprocessor that can takes inputs from all...
