Abstract
The VLSI CPU designed in the TRON project is a new 32 bit microprocessor based on 1990’s high VLSI technology. The TRON VLSI CPU is a high-performance microprocessor for computer applications in the 1990’s. The architecture of TRON VLSI CPU has the following powerful features that do not exist in the conventional architecture of microprocessors:
-
1)
Total architecture, under which the microprocessors and operating systems ITRON and BTRON have integrated design,
-
2)
Expandability from 32-bit-series to 64-bit-series processors,
-
3)
Compiler-oriented architecture and high execution speed,
-
4)
Open architecture.
