Parallel Processing-Parallel Memory Approach for Super Fast Design of Future Microprocessor

Abstract

The early design of the microprocessor (μP) used a single ALU with a single unit of memory. The development of the microprocessor design generates a multi-ALUs microprocessor that is a parallel processing with multi-units of memory.The parallel processing approach will increase the speed of the processing but this speed up is non-linear with increasing the number of processors that are used in the system (μP). However, the efficiency of the parallel processing is non-linear and depends on some factors such as the parallel processing type, the overall design, the programming approach and the applications, yet in general the parallel processing efficiency will decrease by the increase of the number of processors in the system. The history of the Intel μP’s will be used as an example to trace and analyze the growth of the μP. This tracing will disclose that the main future problem in the μP is the storage not the processing of the data. This problem is generated because the shared memory in the parallel processing will capture the processors in the system. The processor in this parallel processing system is not free to use the memory but it shares a single memory with other processors in this system.This paper propose a novel approach designing a parallel memory that gives the processors in the parallel processing system a higher freedom to use the memory and eventually increases the efficiency of each processor, that end result will increase the .....
