Chapter 53 ARM and X86 Instruction Sets
In short, X86 actually increased the complexity of the processor itself in exchange for higher performance, while ARM handed over the complexity to the compiler, sacrificing program size and instruction bandwidth in exchange for simple and low-power hardware implementations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But if things go on like this, in order to improve performance, the X86 processor will get bigger and bigger, and the memory bandwidth required by ARM will break through the sky, which is limited by technology. Therefore, it is very difficult to combine the already self-contained ARM and X86 in one in the previous life, otherwise Apple will just shout in its mouth all day long, and will not see the real thing.
However, these problems are not a problem for Ye Kai, who has not yet produced ARM and X86 is still in its infancy, he only needs to design it according to the architectural ideas of the Pentium processor released by Intel in the previous life 95.
In the previous life, Intel introduced the concept of microcode in the X86 architecture in the Pentium processor, and correspondingly, the so-called decoder was added to the processor, which is responsible for "unpacking" traditional complex instructions into shorter microcodes (uOPs).
After a complex instruction comes in, it will be split into a different number of microcodes by the decoder, and then sent into the execution pipeline of the processor - this can actually be understood as a reduced instruction set core + complex instruction set decoder. The reduced instruction set also introduces the instruction set, which is very unrefined from a logical point of view, to increase the computing performance.
Normally, an X86 instruction will be disassembled into 2~4 uOPs, which is 3 on average, so the actual instruction execution capability of X86 should be about 3 times that of ARM under the same instruction density. But don't forget that this is based on an assumption under the "same instruction density", in fact, the X86 can achieve ten times or even a hundred times the instruction density of ARM.
In this way, the instruction set designed by the company in the UK needs to be highly unified with its own desktop-level processor, and in the case of unification, consider how to interface with the X86 instruction set.
Therefore, Ye Kai began to compare the ARM instruction set with the X86 instruction set in his mind, and then modified the ARM instruction set, which has become a new instruction set, which will enable the two instruction sets to be transmitted more quickly through the translator inside the CPU in the future.
Since it has become a new instruction set, and the circuit structure has also undergone new changes, it is natural that it can no longer be called ARM, so what is it called? Ye Kai scratched his scalp, IBM's power architecture is the abbreviation of PerformanceOptimizationWithEnhancedRISC, which translates to 'RISC with optimized and enhanced performance', plus the word power also has the meaning of power in English, it does seem a bit lofty.
But when it was Ye Kai's turn to think of a name, he was a little numb, which can be seen from the name he gave his company before, CC company? It's a little confusing, so, after thinking about it, Ye Kai patted his head, and the name of the architecture was determined, CC architecture, which means CC company's dedicated microprocessor architecture.
The reduced instruction set CPU architecture has come out, and Ye Kai's task has not yet been completed, that is, it is necessary to set up another offshore shell company to apply for a new X86 instruction set patent in the name of this company, which has not yet appeared, so as to make comprehensive preparations for his own desktop-level processor in the future.
And these problems, Ye Kai can only go to the United States to complete, after all, to design his own desktop-level computer, you still need the talents of the United States, and the United States has a natural advantage in this regard.
In the remaining few days, Ye Kai, with the assistance of Deng Jun, quickly prepared the technical data, and then marked some of the materials and handed them to Alvin, so that he could hand them over to the company's technicians at the right time.
And, the various patents involved in these materials are extracted and sorted into a book, so that Alvin can apply for a global patent as soon as possible, before the patent is not applied, the relevant information must not be issued to the hands of technical personnel, and buy a small building, the company's R&D department is set up there, after the establishment, the security work and legal issues involved will be handed over to his 'future father-in-law' Ida's security company and his law firm, and his contact information is left to Alvin.
Then, Ye Kai came to the London branch of the Swiss Bank again alone, ready to use his futures account as collateral. Now that gold has risen to more than $300, and it is still rising in small amounts every day, Ye Kai's account has increased by hundreds of millions of dollars.
Under the bombardment of a series of complicated procedures, Ye Kai finally took out a loan of $5 billion, and he entrusted the amount of $1 billion to the bank to assist Alvin in the acquisition operation in Hong Kong, as well as the supervision and release of funds for the business activities of the two companies in the Eagle Country, and then left the bank with a $4 billion magnetic stripe bank card.
Deng Jun, who was packing up his things at the hotel, saw that Ye Kai was back, and quickly stood up, poured a glass of water and handed it to Ye Kai's hand, and asked with concern: "You have to finish everything, right?" ”
Ye Kai drank all the water in his hand and said, "Yes." We can leave Eagle Country tonight, and after we arrive in the United States, what are you going to arrange? ”
Deng Jun thought for a while and said: "I'm not familiar with the United States, why don't we go to my friends in the United States for a while, and then we will buy a house to live in by ourselves after we are familiar with it, do you think this will work?" ”
Hearing Deng Jun mention her friend, Ye Kai immediately recalled the robbery and intimidation that Deng Jun was subjected to in the United States in his previous life, basically including the shadow of her friend, and a few times even when her friend went out to pick up a friend, Deng Jun was robbed, how can there be such a coincidence, it can be seen that it is a coincidence, so it can't be like this every time, right?
And every time it happened at her friend's house, and she herself did not encounter such a thing, wasn't it obvious? Combined with the fact that Deng Jun did not settle in the United States in her previous life, it can also be seen that what kind of shadow did those incidents give her at that time?
From this, Ye Kai can deduce who is instigating Deng Jun's friends behind her, and what role she plays behind it, maybe Deng Jun actually knew it back then, but she has no means to resist, and she has no choice, what can a weak woman who is alone in a foreign land do except be at the mercy of fate?
Thinking of this, Ye Kai shook his head and said: "If we live temporarily at your friend's house, it will be very embarrassing between us, and it will also bring inconvenience to your friend, and even sometimes, we want to make love secretly, it's inconvenient!" So, I think it would be nice for us to stay in a hotel for the time being and find someone to buy a house near your school without anyone notifying us when we arrive in the United States? ”
