Abstract:In this paper, we propose a processor architecture with programmable on-chip memory for a high-performance SMP (symmetric multi-processor) node named SCIMA-SMP (Software Controlled Integrated Memory Architecture for SMP) with the intent of solving the performance gap problem between a processor and off-chip memory. With special instructions which enable the explicit data transfer between on-chip memory and off-chip memory, this architecture is able to control the data transfer timing and its granularity by the… Show more
