Jun-Woo Kang, Kee-Wook Rim · 2002
Integrating processors into a chip is one of leading technologies in the microprocessor as well as in the semiconductor processing technology. This paper describes EMPC-96 which is a DBMS application-specific on-chip microprocessor for MPP systems. Four integer units, data cache, instruction cache, and system interfaces are integrated into one chip, and the caches are shared among integer units. 400 MIPS is a performance target of this design.
