Stream Register File Oriented to Stream Application
Shuming Chen · 2008
The memory system is the performance bottleneck while general processor handles stream applications.Based on the FT64 streamarchitecture, this paper presents a structure design method and data transfer mechanism of the stream register file which is oriented to streamapplication, and analyzes the effect on FT64.This structure with the adoption of big capacity, high bandwidth and multiple virtual ports can limitmost of the stream data access operation at the register file level, greatly decrease the pressure of the main memory.Experimental result shows thisstructure meets the demand of stream applications.
