It explains Zachman’s "framework for enterprise architecture" (Zachman‚ 1987) and the components of its two dimensional matrix. Criticism that Zachman framework is only a taxonomy follows on identifying next framework "The Open Group Architecture Framework" (known as TOGAF) and it’s criticism that can act as architectural process rather than a

million. This rapid rate of improvement has come both from advances in the technology used to build computers and from innovation in computer design. Although technological improvements have been fairly steady‚ progress arising from better computer architectures has been much less consistent. During the first 25 years of electronic computers‚ both forces made a major contribution; but beginning in about 1970‚ computer designers became largely dependent upon integrated circuit technology.

If not handled effectively‚ execution rate of more than one instruction per cycle is difficult to achieve. This case study uses multi bit scoreboard architecture to handle data conflicts for out of order execution and completion of instructions. The paper analyses the performance of the superscalar microprocessor by using two stimulation models which uses benchmark programs and one calculation model which
