Dual-Core Framework: Eliminating The Bottleneck Effect Of Scalar Kernels On Simd Architectures |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
The efficiency of ubiquitous SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) media processors is seriously limited by the bottleneck effect of the scalar kernels in media applications. To solve this problem, a dual-core framework, composed of a micro control unit and an instruction buffer, is proposed. This framework can dynamically decouple the scalar and vector pipelines of the original single-core SIMD architecture into two free-running cores. Thus, the bottleneck effect can be eliminated by effectively exploiting the parallelism between scalar and vector kernels. The dual-core framework achieves the best attributes of both single-core and dual-core SIMD architectures. Experimental results exhibit an average performance improvement of 33%, at an area overhead of 4.26%. What's more, with the increase of the SIMD width, higher performance gain and lower cost can be expected. |
