Chapter4 - ARM Architecture Chapter 4 ARM Architecture 4.1) Introduction The most important part in our project is the microprocessor design. The design passes through many steps until it reaches the final form. The project is an ARM processor that is constructed from the following components: Arithmetic Logic Unit Booth multiplier Barrel shifter Control unit Register file These components will be covered [PDF] Chapters 1 and 3 ARM Processor Architecture Feb 05, 2018A Little about ARM –The company •OriginallyAcorn RISC Machine (ARM) •LaterAdvanced RISC Machine •Then it became ARM Ltd owned by ARM Holdings (parent company) •In 2016 SoftBankbought ARM for $31 billion •ARM: • Develops the architecture and licenses it to other companies[PDF] Chapter 4 ARM Architecture - 國立中興大學 ARM Architecture (Cont.) o Control over both the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and shifter in every data-processing instruction n Maximize the use of an ALU an a shifter o Auto-increment and auto-decrement addressing mode n Optimize program loops o Powerful load/store multiple register instructions n Maximize data throughputs o Conditional execution of every instruction
