- Howdy! I was wondering if anyone could provide me with the names
- of any good references (books, articles, publications in general) on
- the MIPS R3000/R4000 architecture and systems implementation.
-
- I will be embarking on a job shortly to port Mach 3.0 to
- first a uni-processor R3000 box and then later, a eight-processor SMP
- R3000 box (SillyG PowerSeries). Thus, I need to bone up not only on the
- assembler, but also the very critical issues of
- bus-locking/arbitration, cache control/coherency and other
- synchronization related things.
-
- Thanks!
