The Processor

Abstract

This chapter describes how processors exploit implicit parallelism. It contains an explanation of the principles and techniques used in implementing a processor, starting with a highly abstract and simplified overview. The overview is followed by a section that builds up a datapath and constructs a simple version of a processor sufficient to implement an instruction set like RISC-V. The bulk of the chapter covers a more realistic pipelined RISC-V implementation, and concludes with a section that develops the concepts necessary to implement more complex instruction sets, like x86.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
