This paper describes the design of an ALU and a shifter for RISC. The RISC datapath is designed to have a 4-stage pipeline and a 20 MHz operating frequency. The ALU makes use of the 32-bit BLC adder which has the characteristics of high speed ane regular structuer and executes the arithmetic instructions-addition and subtraction- and the logical instructions-AND, OR, and XOR. Additionally, multiplication is possible by iterative executions of step instructions to perform shift and add operations. The shifter is implemented by using the modified of funnel shifter. The shifter is able to perform the arithmetic andlogical shift instructions without maskiog. Moreover, it carries out data align operation which conforms to big endian byte address. The logical operation of the desinged ALU and the shifter were simulated using YSLOG and VLSIsim. SPICE simulation results using 1.2um double metal process parameters show that the ALU and shifter have a delay time of 15.9NS and 9.9NS, respectively. Therefore, the ALU and the shifter operates correctly above 20[ MHz ] click ferquency and are composed of about 7K and 15K teansistors, respectively.

This paper describes a bus interface unit which is used in a 32bit high-performance multimedia RISC CPU including DSP unit. The main idea adopted in designing is that the bus interface unit enables the processor to provide on-chip functions for controlling memory and peripheral devices, including RAS-cAS multiplexing, DRAM refresh and parity generation and checking. The number of bus cycles used for a memory or I/O access is also defined by the processor, thus, no external bus controllers are required. All memories and peripheral devices can be connected directly, pin to pin, without any glue logic. That is the key point of the design.

In this paper, we designed 32-Hit MAC architecture of a RISC Processor for portable terminals such as cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, notebooks, etc. In order to have minimum area with best performance, the MAC performs 32 by 8 multiplication per cycle, with early termination circuit that enables multiply cycles depend on the value of multiplier. It uses the sign bit of a partial product and two extra bits for sign extension, The MAC is modeled and simulated in RTL using VHDL. The MAC is synthesized using IDEC C-631 Cell library based on 0.6$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS 1-Poly 3-metal CMOS technology.

본 논문은 멀티미디어 데이터 처리를 위한 효율적인 RISC 프로세서 유닛의 설계를 목표로 Vector 프로세서의 SIMD(Single Instruction Multiple Data) 개념을 바탕으로 고정된 연산기 데이터 비트 수에 비해 상대적으로 작은 비트수의 데이터 연산의 부분 병렬화를 통하여 멀티미디어 데이터 연산의 기본이 되는 곱셈누적(MAC : Multiply and Accumulate) 연산의 성능을 향상 시킨다. 또한 기존의 MMX나 VIS 등과 같은 범용 프로세서들의 부분 병렬화를 위해 전 처리 과정의 필요충분조건인 데이터의 연속성을 위해 서로 다른 길이의 데이터 흑은 비트 수가 작은 멀티미디어의 데이터를 하나의 데이터로 재처리 하는 재정렬 혹은 Packing/Unpacking 과정이 성능 전체적인 성능 저하에 작용하게 되므로 본 논문에서는 기존의 프로세서의 연산기 구조를 재이용하여 병렬 곱셈을 위한 연산기 구조를 구현하고 이를 위한 데이터 정렬 연산 구조를 제안한다.

The paper describes a 17 $\times$ 17-b multiplier using the Radix-4 Booth’s algorithm. which is suitable for 32-bit RISC/DSP microprocessors. To minimize design area and achieve improved speed, a 2-stage pipeline structure is adopted to achieve high clock frequency. Each part of circuit is modeled and optimized at the transistor level, verification of functionality and timing is performed using HSPICE simulations. After modeling and validating the circuit at transistor level, we lay it out in a 0.35 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ 1-poly 4-metal CMOS technology and perform LVS test to compare the layout with the schematic. The simulation results show that maximum frequency is 330MHz under worst operating conditions at 55$^{\circ}C$ , 3V, The post simulation after layout results shows 187MHz under worst case conditions. It contains 9, 115 transistors and the area of layout is 0.72mm by 0.97mm.

Conditional branch instructions are a major obstacle to the increasing of RISC processor performance, because they can break the smooth flow of instructions; the issuing of instructions after a branch instruction must often wait until the condition is resolved. This paper proposes a hardware scheme which has a duplicated fetching logic to reduce the penalty imposed by conditional branch instructions. The proposed shceme has a buffer to maintain states of processor, which supports the precise interrupt. We make use of two code segments to test the performance and their results were compared with those of the delayed branch. We got the result that the proposed scheme reduces the branch penalty extremely.

4 32-bit RISC core is designed for embedded application and DSP. This processor offers low power consumption by fully static operation and compact code size by efficient instruction set. Processor performance is improved by wing conditional instruction execution, block data transfer instruction, multiplication instruction, bunked register file structure. To support compact code size of embedded application, It is capable cf executing both 16-bit instructions and 32-bit instruction through mixed mode instruction conversion Furthermore, for fast MAC operation for DSP applications, the processor has a dedicated hardware multiplier, which can complete a 32-bit by 32-bit integer multiplication within seven clock cycles. These result in high instruction throughput and real-time interrupt response.

In animals, microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) repress expression of protein coding genes by assembling distinct RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs). It has previously been shown that passenger-strand cleavage is the predominant mechanism when siRNA duplexes are loaded into Argonaute2 (Ago2)-containing RISC, while an unwinding bypass mechanism is favored for miRNA duplexes with mismatches. Here I present experimental data indicating that some mammalian miRNAs are assembled into Ago2-containing RISC by cleaving their corresponding miRNA star strands. This phenomenon may depend on the secondary structure near the scissile phosphate of the miRNA duplex. In addition, I show that ATP is not required for star-strand cleavage in this process. Taken together, the data here provide insight into the miRNA-loading mechanisms in mammals.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged to be one of the cleanest energy systems. Therefore, many large scale solar parks and PV farms have been built to prepare for the post fossil fuel ages. However, due to their large scale, to efficiently manage and operate PV systems, they need to be visually monitored within the range of infrared ray through the Internet. To satisfy this need, the efficient implementation of a high performance video compression standard is required. This paper therefore presents an implementation of H.264 motion estimation, which is one of the most data-intensive and complicated functions in H.264. To achieve this, this work implements vector instructions in hardware and incorporates them in a generic RISC processor architecture, thus increasing the processing speed while minimizing hardware and software design efforts. Extensive simulation results show that this proposed implementation can process motion estimations up to 13 times faster.
