Application-Specific Interconnection Network Design in Clustered DSP Processors

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

To meet increasing performance requirements of DSP applications, application specific processor designs, e.g. function unit (FU) duplication and register file (RF) distribution, are widely used in the design of DSP processors. In this paper, an application specific approach is proposed for the design of interconnection network in such DSP processors. By extracting the scheduHng information of DSP applications, we decide the minimal number of required partially connected buses. Without impacting the performance and increasing the hardware cost, it provides optimized future scheduling ñexibility. Our results show that reductions of 40% in the number of required global buses and 60% in wire segments can be achieved.
