[Simh] [simh] microprocessor database

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

There is a new journal article published today that should be of
interest to some readers of this list:

	Andrew Danowitz and Kyle Kelley and James Mao and John
	P. Stevenson and Mark Horowitz
	CPU DB: Recording Microprocessor History
	ACM Queue: Tomorrow's Computing Today 10(4) 1--18 April 2012
	http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2181796.2181798

The DOI is not yet available from that source, but should be in a few
days. In the meantime, you can find the article at the publisher's Web
site:

	http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2181796

>From the first section of the article:

>> ...
>> ... introducing CPU DB (http://cpudb.stanford.edu/), an open and
>> extensible database collected by Stanford's VLSI (very large-scale
>> integration) Research Group over several generations of processors
>> (and students). We gathered information on commercial processors from
>> 17 manufacturers and placed it in CPU DB, which now contains data on
>> 790 processors spanning the past 40 years.
>> ...

>From page 3:

>> ...
>> Because many database users will probably want to perform analyses on
>> the raw CPU DB data, the full database is downloadable in
>> comma-separated value format.
>> ...

That URL is not responding this afternoon.
