3D graphics processor architecture based on multistreaming
다중스트리밍을 이용한 3차원 그래픽 프로세서 구조
Abstract
In this paper, we propose multiple instruction issuable multi-streaming as a processor architecture for 3D graphics processor. Multistreaming can eliminate inteferences within concurrently executing instructions inthe pipelined processor to allow enough parallelism for parallel processing. Through cycle level simulation study, we show that the proposed architecture outperforms a conventional RISC processor, MIPS R3000 by three times with reasonable resource overheads. Multiple instruction issuable multistreaming processor will be a bood architecture for instruction processor when a large number of threads are guaranteed.
