基于低功耗ASIP的循环缓存的设计

A Design of the Loop Buffering for the Low Power ASIP

  • 摘要: 针对ASIP处理器的低功耗设计要求, 提出了多段式的循环缓存结构.该结构与原有的循环缓存结构相比, 提高了缓存存储器的利用率.本设计通过减少对主存储器的读操作和缓存存储器的写操作的方式来降低程序存储器的功耗.在SMIC的0.13μm工艺条件下, 将该结构应用于助听器处理器中, 并进行功耗验证.分析表明, 该方法以较小的面积开销, 最高可将存储器的功耗降低大约50%, 有效的降低程序存储器的功耗.

     

    Abstract: In this paper, a multi-segments loop buffering is proposed and it can be used in the design of the ultra low power application specific instruction set processor (ASIP) .It is more efficient on the utilization of the loop buffer SRAM compared to the conventional loop buffer techniques.By decreasing the read operations of main program SRAM and the write operations of loop buffer SRAM, the scheme can greatly reduce the power consumption of the program memory.Based on SMIC 0.13μm technology, the new loop buffering is validated in a hearing aid processor.The analysis result shows that the power consumption of the program memory can be reduced by more than 50% with only a little compromise of the area.
