    Abstract: A method for the automatic design of processor datapaths operates on an abstract input specification of desired processor operations and their instruction level parallelism and synthesizes a datapath design in machine readable form. A datapath synthesizer automatically designs and synthesizes the processor datapath including the number and types of functional units, the number of read/write ports of the various register files, and the exact connectivity between the register files and the functional units. The heuristics used in the implementation maximize resource sharing and minimize the overall cost in by customizing and sharing functional units and minimizing the number of read/write ports on the register files subject to the specified ILP among operations.

    Abstract: A computational unit for use in loop computations. The computational unit includes a function unit, a plurality of phase lines, and a storage register. The computational unit is programmed to initiate one iteration of the loop every II cycles. Each function unit has a result output for outputting one computational result each cycle. There is one phase line corresponding to each of the II cycles. The storage register includes a linear connected array of shift cells having a first shift cell. Each shift cell has an input port, an output port, a shift control port, and an OR gate. Each shift cell receives the value to be stored in the shift cell on the input port, the stored value being stored in response to a control signal on the shift control port. The OR gate has an output connected to the shift enable port and one input for each cycle on which that shift cell is to receive the control signal, that input being connected to the phase line corresponding to that cycle. The input port of the first shift cell is connected to the result output. A plurality of such computational units can be connected together to form a loop accelerator. The accelerator includes a cross-connect circuit for coupling at least one shift cell output of one of the computational units to an input of a function unit of another of the computational units on a selected one of the II cycles.

    Abstract: An MDES extractor automatically extracts a machine description (MDES) for re-targeting a compiler from a structural representation of a datapath of an explicitly parallel instruction computing (EPIC) processor. The datapath is a machine readable data structure that specifies the functional unit instances and an interconnect of the functional unit instances to registers. The MDES extractor structurally traverses the interconnect, identifying resource conflicts among the operations in the processor's opcode repertoire. Latencies and internal resources of the opcodes associated with the functional unit instances are obtained from a macrocell library. The MDES extractor then identifies external resource conflicts by preparing reservation tables for the functional units.
