TechnologyPosted by sengan on Wednesday July 22, @09:59AM
from the cool-hardware dept.
The new Digital Alpha, featuring dual 64 Kb L1 instruction and data caches has been presented at Siggraph 98. It can dispatch up to 4 integer and 2 floating point instructions per cycle out of order, uses 4 different branch prediction algorithms and chooses the best results on the fly for each code snippet, and integrates new MVI instructions (MMX-like but better). Yahoo has an article on it. Many more details are available in the print edition of C'T.
