Various CPU architecture overview

In Phil Koopmans book "Stack Computers, The New Wave" there is coverage of the various processor architectures with references. The book is on-line somewhere. Try

for it.

Shouldn't you focus on the Soft CPU's that are optimised for FPGA usage, then ? [ unless you are not bothered by the final speed or resource usage.... ? ]

Things to look at are Opcode size, opcode reach, Opcode decode and register counts. Then there is system resource needs like DataSize, CodeSize and finally code access itself - something of an achilles heel of FPGA cpu design.

Lattice have open sourced their Mico8 offering, so that's a good starting point.

Try to get the first edition of Hennessy / Patterson:

This is a basic reading which covers all aspects about computer architecture.

Can I recommend this for posting long URLs?
