Microprocessor Architecture
1999
When we started creating this web page, we worked to creat a page that would explain what goes on INSIDE a computer when you play a game or use a word processor, and to teach people about microprocessor archetecture. Incuded in our site is information about CISC, RISC, and new EPIC microprocessors. Our site explains the differences between each archetecture and tells you why it was made that way. It also exlains "Pipe Lining" and "Bypassing", giving you the advantages and limitations they have.
Microprocessor architecture is a very hard subject to make a web page on, in my opinion. If it was hard for our teacher to teach the informations that needs to be in our page, we knew it would be a lot harder for us to explain it to others. We've done the best we can in the time allowed, working many many hours to complete it. We explained as best we could of what we knew.
