TriMedia CPU64 Design Space Exploration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within Philips Research Labs, we are investigating the 64bit VLIW core for future TriMedia processors. We have performed an extensive Design Space Exploration (DSE) on this core using quantitative analysis, using a benchmark suite of applications which are representative for multimedia processing. We have explored, among others, the configurations of the different functional units (FUs) of the 64-bit VLIW core. We show the merit of our approach and of the environment that we have developed for design space exploration.

TriMedia CPU64 Application Domain and Benchmark Suite
At Philips Research Labs, we are investigating the 64-bit VLIW core (also called CPU64) for future TriMedia processors. This processor is targeted towards embedded multimedia applications. In order to be able to perform a quantitative design space exploration, a set of benchmark applications has been developed which is representative of the application domain. This article describes the way the...
متن کاملMPEG-Compliant Entropy Decoding on FPGA-Augmented TriMedia/CPU64
The paper presents a Design Space Exploration (DSE) experiment which has been carried out in order to determine the optimum FPGA–based Variable-Length Decoder (VLD) computing resource and its associated instructions, with respect to an entropy decoding task which is to be executed on the FPGA-augmented TriMedia/CPU64 processor. We first outline the extension of the TriMedia/CPU64 architecture, ...
متن کاملA Reconfigurable Functional Unit for TriMedia/CPU64. A Case Study
The paper presents a case study on augmenting a TriMedia/CPU64 processor with a Reconfigurable (FPGA-based) Functional Unit (RFU). We first propose an extension of the TriMedia/CPU64 architecture, which consists of a RFU and its associated instructions. Then, we address the computation of the 8 8 IDCT on such extended TriMedia, and propose a scheme to implement an 8-point IDCT operation on the ...
متن کاملAn 8-Point IDCT Computing Resource Implemented on a TriMedia/CPU64 Reconfigurable Functional Unit
This paper presents the implementation of an 8-point Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform (IDCT) computing resource on a TriMedia/CPU64 FPGA-based Reconfigurable Functional Unit (RFU). TriMedia/CPU64 is a 64-bit 5 issue-slot VLIW processor launching a long instruction every clock cycle. The RFU consists mainly of an FPGA core, and is embedded into the TriMedia as any other hardwired functional uni...
متن کاملEntropy Decoding on TriMedia/CPU64
The paper describes a software implementation of an MPEG–compliant Entropy Decoder on a TriMedia/CPU64 processor. We first outline entropy decoding basics and TriMedia/CPU64 architecture. Then, we describe the reference implementation of the entropy decoder, which consists mainly of a software pipelined loop. On each iteration, a set of look-up tables partitioning the VariableLength Codes (VLC)...
