DESIGN OF A BRANCH PREDICTION UNIT OF A MICROPROCESSOR BASED ON SUPERSCALAR ARCHITECTURE USING VLSI

摘要

In the field of microprocessors, speeds of processor doubles in every 18 months as, new microprocessors are always being designed using more and more advanced features. So, it's always a challenge to design a new microprocessor with faster execution speed. In this paper microarchitecture of superscalar processor is to be designed using VLSI. This Proposed design is based on the rigorous research done through simulation of superscalar architecture using Simplescalar tool. The research was concentrated in three areas
