摘要:
The present invention provides a hardware accelerator, which allows faster switching between processing modes. In an information processing device with a bytecode accelerator BCA for translating a stack-based intermediate code (bytecode) into register-based instructions, a selector SEL for switching between BCA and soft VM is posed between an instruction part FET and a decode part DEC and data transfer paths P4 and P5 are formed between BCA and the register file REG_FILE. When bytecode accelerator BCA is activated, the P3 side is selected by the selector SEL and the translated CPU instructions are transferred to the decode part DEC. If the intermediate language code cannot be translated by the BCA, the processing mode is switched to software processing. During switching between the modes, internal information of BCA can be transferred between BCA and REG_FILE in parallel, achieving faster mode switching.

A method and apparatus are provided for event detection for a multiple instruction-set processor. In one example of the apparatus, a data processing device comprises an instruction execution device configured to execute a first instruction set as specific instructions; an instruction conversion circuit configured to convert instructions of a second instruction set into a first instruction string of the first instruction set, and further configured to supply the first instruction string to the instruction execution device; and a counter device configured to count a prescribed event, wherein the instruction conversion circuit is further configured to output a prescribed instruction when the counter device is satisfied by a prescribed condition.
摘要:
A hardware accelerator is used to execute a floating-point byte-code in an information processing device. For a floating-point byte-code, a byte-code accelerator BCA feeds an instruction stream for using a FPU to a CPU. When the FPU is used, first the data is transferred to the FPU register from a general-purpose register, and then an FPU operation is performed. For data, such as a denormalized number, that cannot be processed by the FPU, in order to call a floating-point math library of software, the processing of the BCA is completed and the processing moves to processing by software. In order to realize this, data on a data transfer bus from the CPU to the FPU is snooped by the hardware accelerator, and a cancel request is signaled to the CPU to inhibit execution of the FPU operation when corresponding data is detected in a data checking part.
