CRUSOE PROCESSOR A Seminar Report
[attachment=49602]
ABSTRACT
The Transmeta Crusoe processor is an ultra-low power, high-speed microprocessor based on an advanced VLIW core architecture. When used in conjunction with Transmeta’s x86 Code Morphing software, the Crusoe processor provides x86-compatible software execution using dynamic binary code translation, without requiring code recompilation. In addition to the VLIW core, the processor incorporates separate 64K-byte instruction and data caches, a large 512K-byte L2 write-back cache, 64-bit DDR SDRAM memory controller, 64-bit SDR SDRAM memory controller, and 32-bit PCI controller.
These additional functional units, which are typically part of the core system logic that surrounds the microprocessor, allow the Crusoe processor to provide a highly integrated and cost effective platform solution for the x 86 mobile markets. The processor core operates from a 0.9-1.3V supply, resulting in extremely low power consumption, even at high operating frequencies. With power consumption during typical operation as low as 150 mill watts, the Crusoe processor is the most energy efficient high performance x86-compatible mobile solution ever offered.
