The following slides are in pdf format and organized as two slides to a printed page but are of a size for one slide to be projected/displayed at a time using Acrobat Reader. The source files were done in Framemaker version 5.5 on a mac. The material contained in the slides has been modified and extended somewhat from the textbook. Topics receiving extra treatment include branch prediction, superscalar design, and EPIC computing. Topics removed include arithmetic pipeline design and dataflow.
