  2. real-time worst-case processing = need for more compute power • sec instr cycles sec • prog prog instr cycle CPI = 1 Topic 2: Programmable Digital Signal Processors • instruction level parallelism (ILP) • hardware support for loop control • attention for high level data types e.g. arrays, delaylines • (vs. scalars for CPUs) • difficult to compare architectures • e.g. DIT, DIF, radix 2/4, FFT loop unrolling, scaling, • shuffling, intialisation … can be included or forgotten • benchmarking (Berkeley Design Technology Inc (BDTi)) • (compare to SpecInt benchmarks for CPs) Processor Architectures and Program Mapping H. Corporaal, J. van Meerbergen, and B. Mesman

  3. Outline • architectures for programmable DSPs • multiplier-accumulator • modified Harvard architecture • extension with an ALU (decision making) • controller architectures • examples: TI, Motorola, Philips • code generation • recent developments: VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) • examples: C6 and TM Processor Architectures and Program Mapping H. Corporaal, J. van Meerbergen, and B. Mesman

  4. Sum of products = basic operation for correlation, filtering, spectral analysis ... c(i) x(i) control linear expr. MPY (Booth, Wallace..)  c(i) * x(i) clock P_reg PR ADDER ACR Goal = 1 cycle per iteration • position ACR (1 or 2) • adder/subtractor • extra pipelines • asymmetric inputs • multi-precision • Modifications • extra inputs/outputs Processor Architectures and Program Mapping H. Corporaal, J. van Meerbergen, and B. Mesman

  5. 0.9 x 0.9 0.81 DSP data types • not every signal requires 32 bits • 2 types of DSP: floating point and integer • advantages FP: most specs are in FP • (conversion to int is time consuming since the behaviour • may change) • disadvantage FP: cost (area, speed, power) • wanted : type of output of an operation = type of input • (because both stored in RAM) • no problem for FP but for integer • integer multiplication doubles the number of bits: n * n => 2n • What about fractional numbers ? Processor Architectures and Program Mapping H. Corporaal, J. van Meerbergen, and B. Mesman

  6. DSP data types • integer and fractional numbers are a special case of fixed point • fix <p,q> (ART designer & SystemC) p q 1 0 1 -19/8 = -2.375 1 1 1 fix <8,3> 1 0 -24 23 22 2-2 21 20 2-1 2-3 Scale factor 1/8 negative weight 2’s complement quantization error Same alu handles fix <8,1>, fix <8,2>, fix <8,3>, ... if q=0 then integer e.g. int <8,0> if q=p-1 then fractional e.g. int <8,7> Processor Architectures and Program Mapping H. Corporaal, J. van Meerbergen, and B. Mesman

Corporaal, J. van Meerbergen, and B. Mesman

  8. DSP data types • continue (after multiplication) with msb only • represents the limit of the accuracy of the result • (can not be larger than the accuracy of the inputs) • more efficient solution • continue with msb + lsb • sum-of-product operations generate accumulative noise at 32nd • vs. 16th bit • Still overflow for addition = overflow bits • double precision accumulator • + extra overflow bits • + shift, round, truncate unit Processor Architectures and Program Mapping H.

  15. Solution 1: blockmove in memory • 2 possibilities • complete move after every output sample is calculated • read and write the data twice • move after read of every datum separately • write the data twice • need for a special instruction (TMS320) Processor Architectures and Program Mapping H. Corporaal, J. van Meerbergen, and B. Mesman

  16. Solution 2: indirect adressing • use of a pointer to mark the begin of the delay line • update the pointer instead of moving the data • problem: trashing of the whole memory • solution: modulo addressing • need for a register to store the pointer Processor Architectures and Program Mapping H. Corporaal, J. van Meerbergen, and B. Mesman

Intermediate representation RTP match & cover Code selection Register transfer pattern (RTP) for a given datapath is any RT operation ( read - combinatorial logic - write) which can be executed on the datapath. [Leupers] • Notation ar := ar | ax + ay | af means ar := ar + ay or • ar := ar + af or • ar := ax + ay or • ar := ax + af Processor Architectures and Program Mapping H.

  49. phase coupling: discussion [Mesman] application Traditional code generation (heuristic) feasible space constraints OK ? no design space seen by code generator yes Phase coupling is difficult because of many constraints originating from irregular interconnect, special purpose registers and non-orthogonal microcode. Processor Architectures and Program Mapping H. Corporaal, J. van Meerbergen, and B. Mesman

  50. phase coupling: discussion It is very difficult and almost impossible to develop robust and efficient DSP compilers. Current DSP practice = programming in assembler Solution: 1. Solve code generation for DSPs 2. Step back and rethink the architecture develop an architecture which is still efficient but also a good model for building a compiler Efficiency = exploit instruction level parallelism (ILP) compilation = systematic positioning of registers and regular interconnect = VLIW = Very Long Instruction Word Processor Architectures and Program Mapping H.
