Transport Triggered Architectures

Comparing Software Pipelining for an Operation-Triggered and a Transport-Triggered Architecture

This paper reports the results of a comparison between a new class of architectures, called transport-triggered architectures, and traditional architectures, called operation-t~iggered architectures. It does this comparison by means of the MOVE-i860, which is a transport-triggered approximation of the i860. Several benchmarks are scheduled for the MOVE-i860 by a software pipelining scheduler. B...

Evaluating transport triggered architectures for scalar applications

In transport triggered architectures (TTAs) the programming and operational model is mirrored when compared with regular RISC and VLIW architectures; instead of programming operations which cause data transports as side eeects, in TTAs the transports are programmed, where a transport may trigger an operation if necessary. Transports are therefore visible at the architecture level, and are compl...

Code generation for Transport Triggered Architectures 3

Transport triggered architectures (TTAs) form a class of architectures which are programmed by specifying data transports between function units. As side effect of these data transports these function units perform operations. Making these data transports visible at the architectural level contributes to the flexibility and scalability of processors. Furthermore it enables several extra code sc...
