26-572: A CPU design, together with introducing specialized instructions that use the AGU, various address-generation calculations can be offloaded from the rest of the CPU, and can often be executed quickly in a single CPU cycle. Capabilities of an AGU depend on a particular CPU and its architecture . Thus, some AGUs implement and expose more address-calculation operations, while some also include more advanced specialized instructions that can operate on multiple operands at

78-564: A time. Furthermore, some CPU architectures include multiple AGUs so more than one address-calculation operation can be executed simultaneously, bringing further performance improvements by capitalizing on the superscalar nature of advanced CPU designs. For example, Intel incorporates multiple AGUs into its Sandy Bridge and Haswell microarchitectures , which increase bandwidth of the CPU memory subsystem by allowing multiple memory-access instructions to be executed in parallel. Asian Currency Unit The Asian Monetary Unit ( AMU )
91-638: Is a basket of currencies proposed by the Japanese government's Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry ( RIETI ). It is similar to and modeled on the European Currency Unit (ECU), predecessor to the euro . The Asian Monetary Unit, which has been created as the joint project of 21st century COE project of Hitotsubashi University and RIETI, is a common currency basket composed of 13 East Asian currencies, such as ASEAN 10 plus Japan , China and South Korea . These data have been published on
104-491: Is an execution unit inside central processing units (CPUs) that calculates addresses used by the CPU to access main memory . By having address calculations handled by separate circuitry that operates in parallel with the rest of the CPU, the number of CPU cycles required for executing various machine instructions can be reduced, bringing performance improvements. While performing various operations, CPUs need to calculate memory addresses required for fetching data from

143-488: The memory; for example, in-memory positions of array elements must be calculated before the CPU can fetch the data from actual memory locations. Those address-generation calculations involve different integer arithmetic operations , such as addition, subtraction, modulo operations , or bit shifts . Often, calculating a memory address involves more than one general-purpose machine instruction, which do not necessarily decode and execute quickly. By incorporating an AGU into

After 4 years passed, a common currency basket composed of 13 AMU currencies plus three other countries, Australia , New Zealand and India , which are strongly connected with Asian countries, is newly created as "AMU-wide". The AMU-wide, which is a common currency basket composed of wider range of currencies, will be expected to use as a surveillance indicator corresponding to
