SoC and Microcontroller
What is the difference between System-on-a-chip and Microcontroller? Should both be included in this template? --Kubanczyk 17:17, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
incorrect category names
"microarchitecture" should be "architecture" and "pipelining" should be "parallelism". micro-architecure refers to the electronic circuitry, not the logical organization. architecture is the word for logical organizatio. and most of the items in the "pipelining" category have nothing to do with pipelines, but are rather parallelism/concurruncy features, most of which are orthogonal to pipelines. (orthogonal meaning they can be used with or without pipelines, and pipelines can be used with or without them.) Kevin Baas 16:54, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- I fixed them. Kevin Baas 17:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Creep
I think this template has grown too much as of late, branching out in highly periferal topics, like software, packaging and examples withing sub categories. I don't think this should be an be all, end all template encompassing everything relating to CPU technologies. It's quite a large topic and this template is not benefiting by this "feature creep". Keep the larger issues, skip the periferaltopics, and the subtopics. -- Henriok (talk) 19:49, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Reverted
I am a bit confused about the categorization of entries in this template after it was edited by User:Ramu50 so I reverted it. It may have been confusing before, but is has become more confusing afterwards. There are too many "I don't even know where that came from(s)" to list here as justification, but here are two of them:
- MCM (multi chip module) and DCM (dual chip module) categorized in microarchitecture? Microarchitecture? These are packaging styles! Rilak (talk) 09:01, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Notes about my edits
Rilak, seriously if don't understand how certain components work don't revert it instantly. ALU and FPUs are subunits of processors, they can be standalone my itself too, a lot of Cyrix processor are FPUs-based.
I put MCM and DCM packaging under multiprocessing, because I think most people probably already know these are multicore processing technologies, and the architecture of multiprocess, multitask, scheduling and NUMA would already be familar. But I guess probably a bad idea.
I put SSD there, because about 3 month ago, I saw Intel might be implanting SSD-based cache in the NUMA architecture in one of their Roadmap pdf I believe. --Ramu50 (talk) 16:33, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
