Automatic Instruction Set Design Through Efficient Instruction Encoding for Application-Specific Processors
Application-specific instructions can significantly improve the performance, energy-efficiency, and code size of configurable processors. While generating new instructions from application-specific operation patterns has been a common way to improve the instruction set (IS) of a configurable processor, automating the design of IS’s for given applications poses new challenges. This IS synthesis ...
متن کاملEfficient design-space exploration of custom instruction-set extensions
Customization of processors with instruction set extensions (ISEs) is a technique that improves performance through parallelization with a reasonable area overhead, in exchange for additional design effort. This thesis presents a collection of novel techniques that reduce the design effort and cost of generating ISEs by advancing automation and reconfigurability. In addition, these techniques m...
متن کاملA Case Study: Synthesis and Exploration of Instruction Set Design for Application-Specific Symbolic Computing
The design of computer instruction sets has been mostly considered as being a manual process, due to complications between hardware and software, and the lack of suitable design tools. The manual process limits understanding of the hardware/ software interface and tradeoffs. Motivated by this limitation, the design automation system ASIA (Automatic Synthesis for Instruction-set Architecture) wa...
متن کاملInstruction Set Usage Analysis for Application-Specific Systems Design
The manner in which the resources of a microprocessor are used affects its performance, power consumption and size. In this work we show how increasing the size of a processor’s instruction set, in turn, increases the amount of hardware needed to implement that processor. We also study how efficiently the hardware resources of four processor architectures are used by measuring the static instru...
متن کاملPower efficient semi-automatic instruction encoding for application specific instruction set processors
A novel design methodology for the implementation of control units for application specific instruction set processors (ASIPS) is described. This methodology uses automatic instruction encoding and semi-automatic generation of the hardware instruction decoder to speed up the ASIP design. Significant power savings due to optimized instruction encoding are achieved. Results for ICORE (ISS-Core), ...
