본 논문은 Memory Latency Penalty를 개선한 SIMT Architecture 기반 Stream Processor의 Memory Operation System Architecture를 제안한다. 제안하는 구조는 Non-Blocking Cache Architecture를 적용하여 기존의 Blocking Cache Architecture에서 발생하는 Cache Miss Penalty를 개선하였고 다양한 알고리즘의 처리속도를 비교하여 제안하는 Memory Operation System Architecture를 적용한 Stream Processor의 성능 향상을 검증하였다. 실험은 각 알고리즘의 Memory 명령어의 비율에 따라 향상된 성능을 측정하여 Stream Processor의 성능이 최소 8.2%에서 최대 46.5%까지 향상됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose multiple instruction issuable multi-streaming as a processor architecture for 3D graphics processor. Multistreaming can eliminate inteferences within concurrently executing instructions inthe pipelined processor to allow enough parallelism for parallel processing. Through cycle level simulation study, we show that the proposed architecture outperforms a conventional RISC processor, MIPS R3000 by three times with reasonable resource overheads. Multiple instruction issuable multistreaming processor will be a bood architecture for instruction processor when a large number of threads are guaranteed.

In order to overcome the hardware complexity and power consumption problems, recently the multi-core architecture has been prevalent. For hardware simplicity, usually RISC processor is adopted as the unit core processor. However, if the performance of unit core processor is enhanced, the overall performance of the multi-core processor architecture can be further increased. In this paper, out-of-order superscalar processor is utilized for the multi-core processor architecture. Using SPEC 2000 benchmarks as input, the trace-driven simulation has been performed for the out-of-order superscalar cores between 2 and 16 extensively. As a result, the 16-core out-of-order superscalar processor for the window size of 16 resulted in 17.4 times speed up over the single-core out-of-order superscalar processor, and 50 times speed up over the single core RISC processor. When compared for the same number of cores on the average, the multi-core out-of-order superscalar processor performance achieved 3.2 times speed up over the multi-core RISC processor and 1.6 times speed up over the multi-core in-order superscalar processor.

Application specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) is a suitable design choice for system designers who seek both flexibility to handle various applications in the domain together with the performance. Successful development of an ASIP, however, requires a software development kit (SDK) to be provided along with the processor. Synopsys Processor Designer is an ASIP development tool, which takes as input a set of files written in a high-level architecture description language called LISA (Language for Instruction Set Architecture), and generates SDK as well as RTL. Recently, they have added support for the generation of LLVM compiler backend, though some manual work is required. In this paper, we introduce some details in porting LLVM compiler to a custom processor architecture in Synopsys Processor Designer.

This paper present the architecture and design of FFT processor for the OFDM modulation. The OFDM modulation have a merit that use frequecncy efficiently and robust ISI. It needs FFR to have fast and large number of points. Moreover, this FFT design has pipeline architecture. R2$^2$SDF architecture for FFT processor has more advantage others. Therefore this paper present FFT processor used R2$^2$SDF architecture.

This paper proposes PASC(PArtitioned SCHeduler) processor architecture that equips with a number of functional unit and an individual scheduler paris. Every scheduler of the PASC processor can determine whether a unit instruction can be issued to the associated functional unit or it is to be waited until next cycle caused by a resource collision or data dependencies. In the PASC processor, only the functional unit with a resource collision or data dependencies waits by executing a NOP(No OPeration) instruction and the other functional units execute their own instructions. Therefore we can expect the code compaction effect on the PASC processor. Thus, the last instruction of a loop at certain iteration and the very first instruction of the loop at the next iteration can be scheduled simultaneously if the two instructions do not incur any resource collision or data dependencies. Therefore, we can expect that such two instructions without any resource collision and data dependencies are packed into the same very long instruction word and thus, the two instructions are executed concurrently at run time. As a result, we can shorten execution cycles of a loop comparing to the execution of the loop on a traditional VLIW or SVLIW processor architecture. Simulation result also promises faster execution of loops on a PASC processor architecture than those on a VLIW and SVLIW processor architecture.

This paper describes limitations and solutions of the existing processor-monitoring concept for a military supersonics aircraft Flight Control Computer (FLCC) equipped with modern architecture processor to perform the system integration test. Safecritical FLCC integration test, which requires automatic test for thousands of test cases and real-time input/output test condition generation, depends on the processor-monitoring device called Processor Interface (PI). The PI, which relies upon on the FLCC processor's external address and data-bus data, has some limitations due to multi-fetching capability of the modern sophisticated military processors, like C6000's VLIW (Very-Long Instruction Word) architecture and PowerPC's Superscalar architecture. Several techniques for limitations were developed and proper monitoring approach was presented for modem processor-adopted FLCC system integration test.
