qu1j0t3: finally started reading introduction to vlsi systems a bit more seriously prompted by yesterday's
<pie_>
people do seem to say "too bad it never got updated for cmos"
<qu1j0t3>
i wonder if hennessy & paterson might be more relevant to your topic
<qu1j0t3>
but i'm not sure what you're trying to learn
<pie_>
havent really looked at the transistor level chapters tho
<pie_>
roughly just trying to get a good enough idea that i can give a coherent explanation
<pie_>
but yea H&P is also going to be relevant
<pie_>
the control logic is about 1 chapter (at least what ive read so far) in C&M even getting through that was a bit tiring
<pie_>
half the work was just figuring out wtf is going on overall though heh
<pie_>
i kept trying to figure out which components the cover art is and then i accidentally found in the index that instead of "cover" or any word of the sort they were using some weird words
<pie_>
which was why i couldnt find the right part x)
<pie_>
endsomething and frontissomething
<pie_>
but i didnt have h&p on hand and i felt more like reading a book
<qu1j0t3>
frontispiece?
<pie_>
yeah
<qu1j0t3>
endpapers
<qu1j0t3>
iirc
<qu1j0t3>
pie_: If those texts are a bit much, i found Niklaus Wirth's "Digital Circuit Design for Computer Science Students" really helpful. He goes from transistor to CPU.
