The book is written for an undergraduate course on the 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit Intel Processors. It provides comprehensive coverage of the hardware and software aspects of 8086/88, 80286, 80386, 80486 and Pentium Processors. The book uses plain and lucid language to explain each topic. The book provides the logical method of explaining the various complicated concepts and stepwise techniques for easy understanding, making the subject more interesting. The book begins with the 8086 architecture, instruction set, Assembly Language Programming (ALP) and interfacing 8086 with support chips, memory and I/O. It focuses on features, architecture, pin description, data types, addressing modes and newly supported instructions of 80286 and 80386 microprocessors. It discusses various operating modes supported by 80386 - Real Mode, Protected Mode and Virtual 8086 Mode. Finally, the book focuses on multitasking, exception handling, 80486 architecture, Pentium architecture and RISC processor. It describes Pentium superscalar architecture, pipelining, instruction pairing rules, instruction and data cache, floating-point unit, Pentium Pro architecture, Pentium MMX architecture, Hyper Treading Core2- Duo features and concept of RISC processor.

Microprocessors have come a long way since their conception. They have become formidable processing tools, and we encounter them in almost every part of our daily activities, from the kitchen with its microwave oven to the cockpit of a sophisticated aircraft. The purposes of this book are to "walk through" the current microprocessor technology and briefly to describe some of the most advanced microprocessors available. The book is a survey of ad vanced microprocessors, aimed particularly at the engineering manager rather than the design engineer. Chapter One outlines the history of microprocessors and describes some terminology used in computer architecture. Chapter Two discusses advanced computer concepts, such as data and data types, addressing modes, pipe lining, and cache memory. Chapter Three .describes new computer architectures, such as reduced-instruction-set computers (RISes) and very-long-instruc tion-word computers. RISC architecture has become very popular among designers. Chapter Four discusses an architecture, data-flow, which is a departure from the conventional von Neumann architecture. NEC has applied the dataflow architecture on the design of a very sophis ticated image processing chip, the NEC PD7281. Chapters Five and Six are case studies, describing the Am29000 and the Transputer, respectively. Chapter Seven describes microprocessors specifically designed for digital signal processing. Chapter Eight discusses micromultiprocessing and describes the various topologies currently used.
