Abstract
The internal architecture of a 1200 MIPS/600 MFLOPS (peak) high-performance CMOS ALPHA microprocessor chip is described. This second-generation implementation is the world's fastest microprocessor. It contains a quad-issue superscalar instruction unit, two 64-bit integer execution pipelines, and two 64-bit floating point execution pipelines. The memory unit and bus interface unit combine to form a high-perfomance memory sub-system with MP coherent writeback caches.
