"In addition to its impressive symmetry, the
88110 permits speculative
instruction issue and execution after a predicted branch. A register file
history buffer keeps track of registers so that they can be restored to
their pre-branch values if the branch is later discovered to have been
mis-predicted. Speculative execution allows the 88110 to extract the most
performance from its two issue capability"
Speaking of the "oh so cool" 88k- does anyone have one of these? I
always thought a Moto 88k box running some sort of *BSD would be a great
addition to the collection. Anyone?
