Synopsis :

Book by MindShare Inc Anderson Don Shanley Tom

Quatrième de couverture:

"The must-have PC architecture reference set."
- PC Magazine's "Read Only" column

"An outstanding job of taking a complex processor--the Intel Pentium--and breaking down all of its aspects into well-organized topics...."
-Dave Bursky, Executive Editor, Electronic Design Magazine

Pentium Processor System Architecture describes the hardware architecture of computers using Intel's family of Pentium processors, providing a clear, concise explanation of the microprocessor's relationship to the rest of the system.

Written for computer hardware and software engineers, this book details Intel's technical strategy behind the Pentium family of processors--not just how Intel designed Pentium, but why. This revised edition expands coverage of virtually every topic and adds new sections on the Pentium 90 and 100MHz (P54C) processors. In addition to pointing out the key differences between 80486 and Pentium system designs, the book explores all the important Pentium features, such as:

• instruction pairing
• using the APIC subsystem
• implementing System Management Mode (SMM)
• interfacing the Pentium 90 and 100MHz processors in a dual processor configuration
• pipelining between dual processors
• dual processor bus arbitration
• cache memory configuration for uni- and dual-processing
• OverDrive sockets

If you design or test hardware or software that involves the Pentium processor, Pentium Processor System Architecture is an essential, time-saving tool.

The PC System Architecture Series is a crisply written and comprehensive set of guides to the most important PC hardware standards. Each title explains from a programmer's perspective the architecture, features, and operations of systems built using one particular type of chip or hardware specification.
