A VLIW Processor For Real-Time Signal Processing
Kento Nakamura, Keiichi Sakai, T. Ae · Information Sciences, Signal Processing and their Applications · 1996
We propose a VLIW hardware stack processor (in short, VLIW-HSP) for real-time signal processing. We suppose that the signals are the multimedia data from high-speed networks or storage devices. The VLIW-HSP consist of four hardware stack units (HSUs) and one control unit (CU). Each HSU has a data stack, a local register and a multiport register, and can execute the same operation set for macro level parallelism. First we discuss the usefulness of VLIW and hardware Stack. Next we show the design of VLIW-HSP and its evaluation.
