Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of GD80—a modular microprocessor system. GD80 is a modular microprocessor system, intended basically for CAD systems. Five microprocessors for different tasks communicate on two separate buses using interprocessor interrupts, memory windows, and shared memory with hardware supported mutual exclusion. Two identical 8-bit microprocessors are dedicated for peripheral handling and communication, two 16-bit microprogrammable bit slice processors for application programming and special data processing, and a 48-bit one for fast floating point arithmetic calculations and matrix-vector transformations. The general architecture of the GD80 system is also illustrated in the chapter.
