최근에 2.5G나 3G 이동 단말 장치를 위한 프로세서로, 다양한 멀티미디어가 가미된 응용구현이 가능하도록 RISC 프로세서와 DSP를 포함하는 단일 칩 프로세서 기술이 등장하고 있다. 이에 따라 듀얼 프로세서 구조에서 비디오 인코딩/디코딩의 처리 속도를 향상시키기 위안 비디오의 인코더/디코더 구조를 제안한다. 기존의 연구에서는 비디오의 인코딩/디코딩의 전 과정을 DSP가 담당하도록 설계하였으나 많은 비트 연산이 필요한 부분에서는 RISC 칩보다 효율성이 낮게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 비디오 신호 처리의 인코딩/디코딩을 구성하는 모듈들을 DSP와 RISC의 특성에 맞도록 분리해 수행시킴으로써 효율성을 높이고자 한다.

In this paper, an efficient storage reclamation algorithm for RISC parallel processing in the object orented programming environments is presented. The memory management for the dynamic memory allocation and the frequent memory access in object oriented programming is the main factor that decreases RISC parallel processing performance. The proposed algorithm can be efficiently allocated the memory space of RISCy computer which is required the frequent memory access, so it can be increased RISC parallel processing performance. The proposed algorithm is verified the efficiency by implementing C language on SUN SPARC(4.3 BSD UNIX).

As the recent performance of microprocessor is improving quickly, the necessity of cache is growing because of the increase of the access time of main memory. Every block of direct-mapped cache maps to one cache line. Although the mapping rule is simple, if different blocks map to one cache line, the miss ratio will be higher than the set-associative cache due to conflicts. In this paper, for the improvement of the direct-mapped cache of OpenRISC, 4-way set-associative cache is proposed. Four blocks of the main memory of the proposed cache map to one cache line so that the miss ratio is less than the direct-mapped cache. Pseudo-LRU Policy, which is one of the Line Replacement Policies, is used for decreasing the number of bits that store LRU value. The OpenRISC core including the 4-way set-associative cache was verified with FPGA emulation. As the result of performance measurement using test program, the performance of the OpenRISC core including the 4-way set-associative cache is higher than the previous one by 50% and the decrease of miss ratio is more than 15%.

This paper presents a branch prediction algorithm and a 4-way set-associative cache for performance improvement of embedded RISC core and a clock-gating algorithm using ODC (Observability Don't Care) operation to improve the power consumption of the core. The branch prediction algorithm has a structure using BTB(Branch Target Buffer) and 4-way set associative cache has lower miss rate than direct-mapped cache. Pseudo-LRU Policy, which is one of the Line Replacement Policies, is used for decreasing the number of bits that store LRU value. The clock gating algorithm reduces dynamic power consumption. As a result of estimation of performance and dynamic power, the performance of the OpenRISC core applied the proposed architecture is improved about 29% and dynamic power of the core using Chartered $0.18{\mu}m$ technology library is reduced by 16%.

A virtual platform models a processor core and the peripheral devices constituting the SoC in software. Major companies utilize a variety of platforms for product development with optimal SW+SoC integrated system architecture design and IP reuse based Top-Down design flow using a virtual platform. In this paper, we propose a virtual platform based on OpenRISC, an open source RISC based core. The proposed virtual platform supports high speed emulation of approximately 20 MIPS using DBT (Dynamic Binary Translation).

In this paper, a design of RISC-based transmission wrapper processor for TCP/IP protocol stack is described. The processor consists of input and output buffer memory with dual bank structure, 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, DMA unit with on-the-fly checksum capability, and memory module. To handle the various modes of TCP/IP protocol, hardware-software codesign approach based on RISC processor is used rather than the conventional state machine design. To eliminate large delay time due to sequential executions of data transfer and checksum operation, DMA module which can execute the checksum operation along with data transfer operation is adopted. The designed processor exclusive of variable-size input/output buffer consists of about 23,700 gates and its maximum operating frequency is about 167MHz under 0.35${\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

This paper describes RISC core that has been designed for embedded and protable applications such as PDA or PCS. This RISC processor offers low power consumption and fast context switching. Processor performance is improved by using conditional instruction execution, block data transfer instruction, and multiplication instruction. This architecture is based on RISC principles. The processor adopts 3-stage instruction execution pipeline and has achieved single cycle execution using a 2-phase 40MHz clock. This results in a high instruction throughput and real-time interrupt response. This chip is implemented with $0.6{\mu}m$ triple metal CMOS technology and consists of about 88K transistors. The estimated power dissipation is 179mW.

This paper describes and implements a design method of register allocation as a required module of RISC compiler systems. It compiles a C program to a machine-independent intermediate language, translates each variable into symbolic register. After local allocation process for the symbolic registers, global register allocation is executed by applying the graph coloring algorithm. This register allocation phase is designed for a system with the large register file like RISC machines.
