  IBM POWER Info - Bored Net - Boredom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Floating point became a focus for the America Project, and IBM were able to use new algorithms developed in the early 1980s that could support 64-bit double-precision multiplies and divides in a single cycle.
IBM complemented this with a complex instruction decoder which could be fetching one instruction, decoding another, and sending one to the ALU and FPU at the same time, resulting in one of the first superscalar CPU designs in use.
The IBM RS64 family of processors is based on PowerPC (and thus POWER) and has been used in the RS/6000 and AS/400 product lines.

 POWER to the People: A History of Chipmaking at IBM
IBM's four families of processors—the POWER architecture, the PowerPC family of processors, the Star chips, and even the line of chips that power IBM mainframes—all have a common ancestor: the IBM 801.
RS64 chips first appeared in 1998 and are known within IBM as the Star family, because most of the code words for the various iterations contained the word "star" or something like it (the notable exception is the original RS64, code-named "Apache").
IBM Journal of Research and Development Volume 34, Issue 1 is devoted to the original POWER architecture, often referred to in those days also as "the RS/6000 processor" because it powered RS/6000 machines.

 POWER4 system microarchitecture
IBM announced the RISC System/6000* (RS/6000*, the predecessor of today's IBM eServer pSeries*) family of processors in 1990.
The RS64 and its follow-on microprocessors, the RS64-II [6], RS64-III [7], and RS64-IV [8], were optimized for commercial applications.
The focal point for the project was in the IBM Server Group Development Laboratory in Austin, Texas, with major contributions from Server Group development laboratories in Poughkeepsie, New York, and Rochester, Minnesota, as well as IBM research laboratories in Yorktown Heights, New York, and Austin, Texas.

 5th Generation 64-bit PowerPC-Compatible Commercial Processor Design
A new IBM silicon technology with higher density used in conjunction with copper technology allowed these new functions to be added to the RS64 III processor chip while shrinking the die size from RS64 II's 162 mm**2 to RS64 III's 140 mm**2.
A new generation of IBM's leading-edge SRAM technology was required to support the increased L2 data cache bandwidth requirements of the new processor.
The RS64 III processor block diagram shown in Figure 1 focuses on server performance with emphasis on conditional branches with zero or one cycle mispredict penalty, contains 128KB L1 instruction and data caches, has a one cycle load-to-use penalty on the L1 data cache, enhanced string support, four superscalar fixed-point pipelines and one floating-point pipeline.

IBM soon realized that they would need a single-chip microprocessor and to eliminate some POWER processor instructions to scale their RS/6000 line from lower-end to high-end machines, and work on a single-chip POWER microprocessor began.
IBM approached Apple with the goal of collaborating on the development of a family of single-chip microprocessors based on the POWER architecture.
IBM also had a full line of PowerPC based desktops built and ready to ship; unfortunately, the operating system which IBM had intended to run on these desktops—Microsoft Windows NT—was not complete by early 1993, when the machines were ready for marketing.
