Details RISC design principles as well as explains the differences between this and other designs.<BR>Helps readers acquire hands-on assembly language programming experience
<P>Recently, there's been a trend toward processors based on&nbsp;the RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) design: Some example RISC processors are the MIPS, SPARC, PowerPC, ARM, and even Intel’s 64-bit processor Itanium.</P>
<P>This guidebook&nbsp;provides an accessible and all-encompassing compendium on RISC processors, introducing five RISC processors: MIPS, SPARC, PowerPC, ARM and Itanium.&nbsp; Initial chapters explain the differences between the CISC and RISC designs, and one clearly discusses the RISC design principles.&nbsp; Roughly the second half of the book is dedicated to MIPS assembly language programming, thereby enabling&nbsp;readers to grasp the concepts discussed in the first half.</P>
<P>Topics and features:</P>
<P>*Includes&nbsp;MIPS simulator (SPIM) download instructions,&nbsp;so that readers can get hands-on assembly language programming experience</P>
<P>*Presents material in a manner&nbsp;suitable for self-study, using several examples in each chapter</P>
<P>• Assembly language programs permit reader executables using the SPIM simulator</P>
<P>• Integrates&nbsp;core concepts to&nbsp;processor designs and their implementations</P>
<P>• Supplies extensive programming examples and figures</P>
<P>• Each chapter begins with an overview and ends with a summary&nbsp;</P>
<P><EM>Guide to RISC Processors </EM>provides a uniquely comprehensive introduction and guide to RISC-related&nbsp;concepts, principles, design philosophy, and actual programming, as well as the all the popular modern RISC processors and their assembly language.&nbsp; Professionals and programmers seeking an authoritative and practical overview of RISC processors will find the guide an essential resource, and students in computer architecture and other courses will regard it as an important reference tool.</P>
Part I--OVERVIEW: Introduction * Processor design issues * RISC principles Part II--ARCHITECTURES: MIPS architecture * SPARC architecture * PowerPC architecture * Itanium architecture * ARM architecture Part III--MIPS ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE: SPIM simulator and debugger * Assembly language overview * Procedures and the stack * Addressing modes * Arithmetic instructions * Conditional execution * Logical and shift operations * Recursion * Floating-point operations Appendixes: Number Systems * Character Representation * MIPS Instruction Set Summary * Programming Exercises Bibliography * Index

<P>This guidebook provides an accessible and all-encompassing compendium on RISC processors, introducing five RISC processors: MIPS, SPARC, PowerPC, ARM, and Itanium. Initial chapters explain the differences between the CISC and RISC designs and clearly discuss the core RISC design principles. The text then integrates instruction on MIPS assembly language programming, thereby enabling readers to concretely grasp concepts and principles introduced earlier. Readers need only have a basic knowledge of any structured, high-level language to obtain the full benefits here.</P>
