Abstract

The authors describe the performance features of the 32-bit WE32200 microprocessor and the approach they used to meet the performance goals. They then discuss the following: functional partitioning; the expanded register set; the extended instruction set; operating system support; addressing modes; arbitrary byte alignment; dynamic bus sizing; circuits; and timing and analysis.
