The Mill CPU Architecture - the Belt (2 of 13)
Mill Computing, Inc.
The second talk in the Mill CPU series by Mill Computing, covering the Belt, the Mill's operand-passing model that replaces general registers. It explains the cost of register renaming in conventional wide CPUs and how the Belt reaches high instruction-level parallelism.
HN points to the Mill talks as an excellent, deep look at an unconventional CPU design, especially in threads on registers and instruction sets.
