Dear all,

Although superscalar is a mature technique to increase IPC, but I
found that there are no much resources describing detailed
implementation of superscalar. I searched for a lot of web resources
including Cortex-A8, PowerPC, MIPS, ... etc. But most of the on-line
articles are not detailed on superscalar design. On the other hand, I
referred to some books like "Computer Architecture, H&P". It is very
helpful on the conceptual, but not on implementation.

Can anyone sugguest me any material that explains the issues of
superscalar? How to implement a superscalar processor? Or anything
good for learning superscalar. Thank you very much.

Hello Robin, | Can anyone sugguest me any material that explains the issues of | superscalar? How to implement a superscalar processor? Or anything | good for learning superscalar. Thank you very much. You will find a great number of papers on various aspects of superscalar design out at ieee, http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/, and http://liinwww.ira.uka.de/bibliography/index.html. A good textbook delving into the subject is John Paul Shen's and Mikko Lipasti's "Modern Processor Design" readily available from amazon.com or your favorite textbook vendor. ./ks
