The term slot is common for this purpose in the Very long instruction word VLIW world where the relationship between operation in an Instruction computer science instruction and Pipeline computing pipeline to execute it is explicit. In dynamically scheduled machines the concept is more commonly called an execute pipeline . Modern conventional Central processing unit CPU s have several compute pipelines say two Arithmetic logic unit ALU , one Floating point unit FPU , one Streaming SIMD Extensions SSE MMX instruction set MMX , one Branch computer science branch each of which can issue one instruction per basic Instruction cycle cycle but can have several in flight.

Primary sources date September 2010 The Super Harvard Architecture Single Chip Computer SHARC is a high performance floating point and Fixed point arithmetic fixed point digital signal processor DSP from Analog Devices , not to be confused with Hitachi, Ltd. Hitachi s SuperH SH microprocessor. SHARC is used in a variety of signal processing applications ranging from single CPU guided artillery shells to 1000 CPU over the horizon radar processing computers. The original design dates to about January 1994. SHARC processors are or were used because they have offered good floating point performance per watt . SHARC processors are typically intended to have a good number of serial links to other SHARC processors nearby, to be used as a low cost alternative to Symmetric multiprocessing SMP . Architecture The SHARC is a Harvard architecture Word addressing word addressed VLIW processor it knows nothing of 8 bit or 16 bit values since each address is used to point to a whole 32 bit word, not just a byte. It is thus neither little endian nor big endian, though a compiler may use either convention if it implements 64 bit data and or some way to pack multiple 8 bit or 16 bit values into a single 32 bit word. Analog Devices chose to avoid the issue by using a 32 bit char in their C compiler. The word size is 48 bit for instructions, 32 bit for integers and normal floating point, and 40 bit for extended floating point. Code and data are normally fetched from on chip memory, which the user must split into regions of different word sizes as desired. Small data types may be stored in wider memory, simply wasting the extra space. A system that does not use 40 bit extended floating point might divide the on chip memory into two sections, a 48 bit one for code and a 32 bit one for everything else. Most memory related CPU instructions can not access all the bits of 48 bit memory, but a special ... Computer Systems sold a SHARC based product that used byte addressing.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Open architecture is a type of computerarchitecture or software architecture that allows adding, upgrading and swapping components. For example, the IBM PC and Apple IIe have an open architecture, whereas the Apple IIc and Amiga 500 computers have a closed architecture . In a closed architecture, the hardware manufacturer chooses the components, and they are not generally upgradable by the end user. Open architecture is also beginning to be pushed to extend into the context of Architectural Design of Buildings by the group Architecture for Humanity . The group has developed a project called the Open Architecture Network which aims to bring the discipline of Architecture away from the closed format which is promoted by firms that choose not to share their work. Open architecture allows potential users to see inside all or parts of the architecture without any proprietary constraints. Typically, an open architecture publishes all or parts of its architecture that the developer or integrator wants to share. The open business processes involved with an open architecture may require some license agreements between entities sharing the architecture information.

Cellular architectures are relatively new, with IBM s Cell microprocessor being the first one to reach the market. Cellular architecture takes Multi core computing multi core architecture design to its logical conclusion, by giving the programmer the ability to run large numbers of concurrent threads within a single processor. Each cell is a compute node containing thread units, memory, and communication. Speed up is achieved by exploiting thread level parallelism inherent in many applications. Cell, a cellular architecture containing 9 cores, is the processor used in the PlayStation 3 . Another prominent cellular architecture is Cyclops64 , a massively parallel architecture currently under development by IBM. Cellular architectures follow the low level programming paradigm, which exposes the programmer to much of the underlying hardware. This allows the programmer to greatly optimize his code for the platform, but at the same time makes it more difficult to software development develop software . compu hardware stub External links http www.research.ibm.com thinkresearch pages 2001 20010611 cellular.shtml Cellular architecture builds next generation supercomputers http www.ornl.gov info ornlreview v35 1 02 blue gene.shtml ORNL, IBM, and the Blue Gene Project http www.gcn.com 20 28 tech report 17088 1.html Energy, IBM are partners in biological supercomputing project Category Parallel computing Category Computerarchitecture Category Classes of computers it Architettura cellulare ... more details

Please note that the term operations architecture is also used in an aerospace context. This use of the term is not discussed in the following article. Operations architecture allows the ongoing support and management of Information technology IT services infrastructure of an company enterprise . The IT infrastructure of an enterprise will typically comprise many different systems and platforms, often in different geographic locations. Operations architecture ensures that these systems perform as expected by centrally unifying the control of operational procedures and automating the execution of operational tasks. It also reports the performance of the IT infrastructure. The implementation of an operations architecture consists of a dedicated set of tools and processes which are designed to provide centralisation and automation. Scope and context Operations architecture is mainly centered around back office and data center infrastructure rather than Personal computer desktop computers . It supports a company s computing infrastructure to provide IT services which are required by business process es. Any organisation with a substantial amount of automated back office processes can have an operations architecture, such as banks, factories and government agencies.
