The Instruction Parsing Microarchitecture of the CVAX Microprocessor
CVAX is a single chip, CMOS VLSI VAX microproces-sor. Several microarchitectural innovations helped achieve the desired performance goal of this machine. In particular, the &truction parsing and prefetching mechanism is differ-ent from other VAX implementations. This new instruction parsing microarchitecture is discussed in this paper
