The x704 was a superscalar microprocessor that issued up to three instructions per cycle to an arithmetic logic unit ( ALU ), floating-point unit ( FPU ) and branch unit.
32.
The processor has a 24-bit ALU ( Arithmetic Logic Unit ) and overlapped processing of several instructions ( a so-called pipeline ) which are the two primary reasons for its speed.
33.
A fabricated prototype of the processor, which has a 32-bit cotransformation-based LNS arithmetic logic unit ( ALU ), demonstrated LNS as a " more accurate alternative to floating-point, " with improved speed.
34.
The design of the "'Argus 300 "'was started in 1963 as a much faster machine featuring a fully parallel-architecture arithmetic logic unit, as opposed to the earlier and much slower serial units.
35.
Execution units include arithmetic logic units ( ALU ), floating point units ( FPU ), load / store units, branch prediction, and SIMD . These units perform the operations or calculations of the processor.
36.
Each execution unit is not a separate processor ( or a core if the processor is a multi-core processor ), but an execution resource within a single CPU such as an arithmetic logic unit.
37.
It executes a simple in-order pipeline capable of issuing two instructions per cycle; one to the 6-stage arithmetic logic unit ( ALU ) and one to the optional auxiliary execution unit ( AXU ).
38.
This method is mathematically correct and has the advantage that a small CPU may perform the multiplication by using the shift and add features of its arithmetic logic unit rather than a specialized circuit.
39.
The Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete.
40.
Internally, the Efficeon had two arithmetic logic units, two load / store / add units, two execute units, two floating-point / SSE / SSE2 units, one branch prediction unit, one alias unit, and one control unit.
