  • SVLIW processor architectures can resolve resource collisions and data dependencies between the instructions while scheduling VLIW instructions at run-time. As a result, long NOP word instructions can be removed from the object code produced for the processor. Thus, the occurrence of cache misses on the SVLIW processor would be lesser than that on the same cache size VLIW processor. Less frequent cache misses on the SVLIW processor would incur less frequent memory access, and thus, the total execution cycles to complete an application would be shortened compared with cases on the VLIW processor. Such a feature eventually compromises effects of longer instruction pipeline stages than those of the VLIW processor. In this paper, we formulate and compare two execution cycle models of the two architectures. A simulation results show that the longer memory access cycles when cache miss occurs, the total execution cycles of SVLIW processor would be shorter than those of VLIW processor.

  • An electroencephalogram (EEG)-connectome processor to monitor and diagnose mental health is proposed. From 19-channel EEG signals, the proposed processor determines whether the mental state is healthy or unhealthy by extracting significant features from EEG signals and classifying them. Connectome approach is adopted for the best diagnosis accuracy, and synchronization likelihood (SL) is chosen as the connectome feature. Before computing SL, reconstruction optimizer (ReOpt) block compensates some parameters, resulting in improved accuracy. During SL calculation, a sparse matrix inscription (SMI) scheme is proposed to reduce the memory size to 1/24. From the calculated SL information, a small world feature extractor (SWFE) reduces the memory size to 1/29. Finally, using SLs or small word features, radial basis function (RBF) kernel-based support vector machine (SVM) diagnoses user's mental health condition. For RBF kernels, look-up-tables (LUTs) are used to replace the floating-point operations, decreasing the required operation by 54%. Consequently, The EEG-connectome processor improves the diagnosis accuracy from 89% to 95% in Alzheimer's disease case. The proposed processor occupies $3.8mm^2$ and consumes 1.71 mW with $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

  • The interface of computer software has to promote human-computer interaction. The one quality of interface to promote HCI should be evaluted with regard to user's information processing. The usability of interface is one of the main components of it's quality, and it is straightforwardly concerned with learnability, especially when users want to use a software at the first stage. In this paper, word processors, wide spreadly used in OA environments is studied in respect to menu structure on the interface. An cognitive menu structure is suggested by user's conceptual network of the main functions of word processor. Two word processors is selected to compare with the cognitive menu structure and to evalute learnabilities by teaming model.

  • This paper proposes balancing scheduling effort more evenly between the compiler and the processor, by introducing independently scheduled VLIW instructions. Aggressively Packed VLIW (APVLIW) processor is aimed specifically at independent scheduling Very Long Instruction Word(VLIW) instructions with dependency information. The APVLIW processor independently schedules earth instruction within long instructions using functional unit and dynamic scheduler pairs. Every dynamic scheduler dynamically checks far data dependencies and resource collisions while scheduling each instruction. This scheduling is especially effective in applications containing loops. We simulate the architecture and show that the APVLIW processor performs significantly better than the VLIW processor for a wide range of cache sizes and across various numerical benchmark applications.

  • RSA crypto-processors equipped with more than 1024 bits of key space handle the entire key stream in units of blocks. The RSA processor which will be the target design in this paper defines the length of the basic word as 128 bits, and uses an 256-bits register as the accumulator. For efficient execution of 128-bit multiplication, 32b*32b multiplier was designed and adopted and the results are stored in 8 separate 128-bit registers according to the status flag. In this paper, an efficient method to execute 128-bit MAC (multiplication and accumulation) operation is proposed. The suggested method pre-analyzed the all possible cases so that the MAC unit can remove unnecessary calculations to speed up the execution. The proposed architecture prototype of the MAC unit was automatically synthesized, and successfully operated at 20MHz, which will be the operation frequency in the RSA processor.

  • This paper describes the implementation of recognition of speaker - dependent Korean spoken continuous digits. The recognition system can be divided into two parts, acoustic - phonetic processor and lexical decoder. Acoustic - phonetic processor calculates the feature vectors from input speech signal and the performs frame labelling and phone labelling. Frame labelling is performed by Bayesian classification method and phone labelling is performed using labelled frame and posteriori probability. The lexical decoder accepts segments (phones) from acoustic - phonetic processor and decodes its lexical structure through phone network which is constructed from phonetic representation of ten digits. The experiment carried out with two sets of 4continuous digits, each set is composed of 35 patterns. An evaluation of the system yielded a pattern accuracy of about 80 percent resulting from a word accuracy of about 95 percent.

  • In this paper, we propose a new register file architecture called the Register File Extension for Multi-words or Long-word Operation (RFEMLO) to accelerate both symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic algorithms. Based on the idea that most of cryptographic algorithms heavily use multi-words or long-word operations, RFEMLO allows multiple contiguous registers to be specified as a single operand. Thus, a single instruction can specify a SIMD-style multi-word operation or a long-word operation. RFEMLO can be applied to general purpose processors by adding instruction set for multi-words or long-word operands and functional units for additional instruction set. To evaluate the performance of RFEMLO, we use Simplescalar/ARM 3.0 (with gcc 2.95.2) and run detailed simulations on various symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic algorithms. By applying RFEMLO, we could get maximum 62% and 70% reductions in the total instruction count of symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic algorithms respectively. Also, performance results show that a speedup of 1.4 to 2.6 can be obtained in symmetric cryptographic algorithms and a speedup of 2.5 to 3.3 can be obtained for asymmetric cryptographic algorithms when we apply RFEMLO to a processor with an in-order pipeline. We also found that RFEMLO can effectively improve the performance of these cryptographic algorithms with much less cost compared to issue-width increase available in Superscalar implementations. Moreover, the RFEMLO can also be applied to Superscalar processor, leading to additional 83% and 138% performance gain in symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic algorithms.
