Hello all,
Is there a website or paper that decribes various CPU architectures (i.e. 80x86, 8051, MIPS, ARM...)?
I'm looking for pros & cons of various different architectures.
I'm planning on coding up my own CPU in VHDL and I want to do a little research before I pick and architecture.
Thanks,
Eric
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
The link is long, cut & paste if required.

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?
