Evaluation of the Very High Speed Microprocessor Breadboard.

Abstract

The VHSM evaluation project undertook evaluation of the VHSM first generation breadboard for both its execution performance and its cost effectiveness. A series of test programs comprised of instruction mixes, benchmarks, and application programs were developed to carry out the project. Performance of the VHSM was demonstrated by actual hardware execution of test programs. Comparison was made by both hardware and simulated execution of an AYK-14 computer and other processors. Cost effectiveness was demonstrated creating test programs based on familiar instruction sets and higher order languages, and implemented using Navy standard support software. Keywords: Computers; EW; Gibson Mix; Processors; ESM.
