Visualisation of the activities that occur within a processor is an important aspect of computer architecture education. Various systems have been developed for this purpose, mostly based on specific processor architectures. At the University of Edinburgh two (closely related) simulation systems, HASE and Simjava, have been developed, both of which offer a variety of visualisation facilities. HASE is a general purpose simulation environment designed to support both research and teaching in computer architecture. Simjava is a Java implementation of HASE, which allows live simulations to be incorporated into WWW pages and run remotely. It has been used to embed active diagrams into an Integrated Learning Support Environment for computer architecture. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

This paper describes the software and hardware developed for the laboratory component of a junior/senior level computer architecture course. The principal feature of this course is that students are required to design and build their own computers using programmable logic devices (PLD's). The students use a simple register transfer language (CURTL) with a simulator and commercial PLD tools for their design activity. A graphical PC based debugging tool provides the I/O and main memory for the student built computers.

An autobiographical overview of Gene Amdahl's professional career reviews his early achievements and describes for the first time some important details of his talk at the 1967 Spring Joint computer Conference in Atlantic City and the heated discussions that followed. The author provides much-needed clarifications, most notably his original performance formula as presented nearly 50 years ago.

Researchers are now considering alternatives to the von Neumann computer architecture as a way to improve performance. The current approach of simulating benchmark applications favors continued use of the von Neumann architecture, but architects can help overcome this bias.
This paper describes how to utilize physics-based unified modeling of complex electric power systems in order to design a multi-layered interactive Smart Grid in a Room Simulator (SGRS). In this simulator, the dynamic...

Some of the technology that will drive the advances of the 1990s are explored. A brief tutorial is given to explain the fundamental speed limits of metal interconnections. The advantages and disadvantages of optical interconnections and where they may be used are discussed in some detail. Trends in speeding up performance by increasing data-path width and by increasing the number of operations performed are reviewed, and questions of efficiency are examined. The advent of super reliable machines produced at very low cost by replicating entire processors is examined

In this paper, a comprehensive overview of computer architecture for Digital Signal Processing is given. Such architectures are seen as the result of constraining influences from the nature of digital signal processing algorithms, architectural techniques including appropriate choice of primitive elements, the underlying digital system technology, and programming languages for digital signal processing. Following a consideration of these influences, several examples are given ranging from chips through board level processors, to attached support processors with very high throughput. Trends for the future are discussed throughout the paper.

There is an increasing trend to use digital signal-processing techniques to solve real-time problems. This leads to a need for processors which can perform complicated signal-processing algorithms on large amounts of data at high speeds. computer architectures for this purpose ate shown to arise from a consideration of several structural factors, including technology, the algorithms to be performed, data structures, and the programming language. When these factors are complementary, efficient yet economical designs result. The structural factors are described, and then several computer designs are discussed in light of this conceptual framework.

An examination is made of the dynamics of how an LSI processor gets designed, paying special attention to the technical constraints which affect the end result. Given these constraints and the way they are expected to evolve, the author then looks briefly to the future to see where the next major generation of microcomputers is headed.
