1
What is the Processor Design?
 Processor design refers to the process of creating the
architecture, microarchitecture, and physical
implementation of a central processing unit (CPU) or
processor for a computer or digital device. It involves a
combination of hardware and software considerations
and encompasses various stages to produce an efficient
and functional processor.

2
What is the aim of the Processor Design?
 Theaim of processor design is to create a device that
can perform computing tasks quickly, efficiently, and
securely while also being cost-effective and flexible.

3
The Main Aims of Processor Design
 Fast: A processor should be able to execute instructions quickly to allow
for high-performance computing.
 Efficient: A processor should be able to execute instructions with a
minimum of power consumption, heat generation, and other overhead to
allow for long battery life, reduced cooling requirements, and increased
reliability.
 Scalable: A processor should be designed in a way that allows it to be
used in a wide range of systems, from low-end devices to high-
performance computing systems.

4
The Main Aims of Processor Design
 Cost-effective: A processor should be designed to meet specific cost
targets, such as low production costs, low power consumption, and low
heat generation, to make it affordable for a wide range of applications.
 Flexible: A processor should be designed to allow for easy
customization and integration into different systems to support a wide
range of applications and use cases.
 Secure: A processor should be designed with security in mind to prevent
unauthorized access, data theft, and other types of security attacks. are to
create a device that is

5
Basic Approach of the Processor Design
Divide the processing into stages
Design each stage separately

Example: A Car Assembly Line
Similar to a car assembly line
 Cast raw metal into the chassis of a car
 Build the Engine
 Assemble the engine and the chassis
 Place the dashboard, and upholster

Components of a Processor
Processors consist of two main components:

 Controller
whose role is to generate the appropriate signals to control the movement of
instructions, and data in the data path.

 Datapath
The data path consists of all the elements in a processor that are dedicated to storing,
retrieving, and processing data such as register files, memory, and the ALU.

Controller and the Data Path

10
Building Blocks of a Processor
Two types of functional units
- Elements that operates on data values (Combinational).
- Output is function of current input
- No memory
- Elements that contains state (Sequential)
- Output is function of current and previous inputs.
- State = Memory
