ABSTRACT

The BELLMAC-32 microprocessor is a 32-bit microprocessor, implemented with CMOS technology, designed to support operating system functions and high level languages efficiently. The architecture was designed with the following objectives in mind: • High performance. • Enhanced operating system support capabilities. • High level language support. • High reliability, availability and maintainability.
