Explicit data graph execution, or EDGE, is a type of instruction set architecture (ISA) which intends to improve computing performance compared to common processors like the Intel x86 line. EDGE combines many individual instructions into a larger group known as a "hyperblock". Hyperblocks are designed to be able to easily run in parallel.
Closeup of the pins of a pin grid array The pin grid array at the bottom of prototype Motorola 68020 microprocessor The pin grid array on the bottom of an AMD Phenom X4 9750 processor that uses the AMD AM2+ socket. A pin grid array (PGA) is a type of integrated circuit packaging. In a PGA, the package is square or rectangular, and the pins are ...
A CPU socket is made of plastic, and often comes with a lever or latch, and with metal contacts for each of the pins or lands on the CPU. Many packages are keyed to ensure the proper insertion of the CPU. CPUs with a PGA (pin grid array) package are inserted into the socket and, if included, the latch is closed.
An example of a roofline model in its basic form. As the image shows, the curve consists of two platform-specific performance ceilings: the processor's peak performance and a ceiling derived from the memory bandwidth.
The 68HC11 [1] (also abbreviated as 6811 or HC11) is an 8-bit microcontroller family introduced by Motorola Semiconductor in 1984 (later from Freescale then NXP). [2] [3] It descended from the Motorola 6800 microprocessor by way of the 6801.
The logic package is on the bottom because it needs many more BGA connections to the motherboard. Typical logic plus memory PoP stack, common to mobile phone SoCs or baseband modems from 2005 onward During PCB assembly , the bottom package of a PoP stack is placed directly on the PCB, and the other package(s) of the stack are stacked on top.
Socket 370, also known as PGA370, is a CPU socket first used by Intel for Pentium III and Celeron processors to first complement and later replace the older Slot 1 CPU interface on personal computers. The "370" refers to the number of pin holes in the socket for CPU pins. Socket 370 was replaced by Socket 423 in 2000.
The AT&T Hobbit is a microprocessor design developed by AT&T Corporation in the early 1990s. It was based on the company's CRISP (C-language Reduced Instruction Set Processor) design resembling the classic RISC pipeline, and which in turn grew out of the C Machine design by Bell Labs of the late 1980s.
