Embodiment
For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent more, the present invention is further detailed explanation below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
One of core idea of the embodiment of the invention is: at data storage part, in cpu chip, increase controller clock signal, when identifying that data storage device is all or part of to be in idle condition, stop to provide clock signal at the array block that does not have requirements for access, because at COMS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)) in the circuit, power consumption is directly proportional with clock; Stop to provide clock signal so carve at one's leisure, just can remove the energy consumption of idle array block this moment, to reach the purpose that reduces power consumption.
With reference to Fig. 1, show the modular construction of a kind of CPU device of the present invention embodiment, specifically can comprise:
Data storage array 101 comprises a plurality of array blocks, is used to store data;
Command memory 102 is used for storage instruction;
Data storage manager 103 is used to manage the request of access of pointing to described data storage array;
Instruction storage manager 104 is used to manage the request of access of pointing to described command memory;
Controller 105 is used for control and coordinates each functional part operation;
Arithmetical unit 106 is used to finish various arithmetic sum logical operations;
Also comprise:
Be arranged in the clock control module 107 of data storage manager, be used for each array block, judge in next clock period whether the request of access at this array block is arranged at described data storage array; If have, then at next clock period clock signal to this array block, otherwise, forbid that in the next clock period clock signal exports this array block to.Simply situation is exactly, and at each array block, all has line to introduce clock signal, and then clock control module 107 these lines of control are closed, and the input of interrupt clock signal can reach the effect that reduces power consumption.Concrete, clock signal can be produced by special clock generator.
What embodiment shown in Figure 1 adopted is Harvard architecture, with data and instruction separate storage and calling, promptly CPU comprises data channel (data storage array 101 and data storage manager 103) and instruction path (command memory 102 and instruction storage manager 104).
Important improvement part of the present invention just is to have increased clock control module 107 in data storage manager 103.Data storage manager 103 is used to receive and manage the request of access of pointing to described data storage array.Concrete, data storage manager receives request of access, at first judges according to these requests it points to which array block in the cpu data storage array, if same of a plurality of request of access competitions are arranged, then arbitrates, and finds out the highest request of access of priority; The highest visit of processing priority afterwards conducts interviews (comprising read) to this array block.
CPU device shown in Figure 1 can be applied in the various embedded system developments.For example, it can be applied in the ARM embedded system, generally can adopt the CPU of RISC (compacting instruction set processor) structure in the ARM architecture.Certainly, the present invention is not limited to risc architecture, and CISC (complicated order set processor) is feasible.
In the ARM embedded system, data storage manager (MMU, Memory ManagementUnit) can be finished the mapping (because having adopted the page virtual memory management in ARM) to amount of physical memory of the control of memory access authority and virtual memory space.Can receive all request of access (sensing array block) just because of data storage manager at storage array, and have abilities such as control of authority, arbitration management, so based on these information, in data storage manager, increase a functional module, just can judge accurately in next clock period whether request of access at certain array block is arranged, thereby realize clock signal control function at each array block.
With reference to Fig. 2, show a kind of cut-away view of frequently-used data storage array, it comprises 4 sector block0, blockl, block2, block3, each sector block comprises 4 array block bank0, bankl, bank2, bank3.In read and write access at data storage array, at a time, may be only at one or more array block in 16 array blocks; The present invention turn-offs the clock signal that does not have the array block of request of access in this clock period, to reduce power consumption.Above-mentioned structure shown in Figure 2 only is an array structure relatively more commonly used now, in fact, adopt more sector block, and each sector is adopted more, and the array block bank of usefulness is feasible.
Preferably, when described clock control module control clock signal exported an array piece to, the data enable signal that clock control module also is used to control at this array block was an effective status; Promptly when request of access is arranged, guarantee that clock signal and the data enable signal at this array block all is effective.
When described clock control module forbade that clock signal exports an array piece to, the data enable signal that clock control module also is used to control at this array block was a disarmed state; Promptly when not having request of access, guarantee that clock signal and the data enable signal at this array block all is invalid.
With reference to Fig. 3, show another CPU embodiment, it adopts present stage risc architecture realization relatively more commonly used.
The difference of RISC and CISC (complicated order set processor) is: RISC needn't be provided with microprogram control memory as CISC, can finish instruction by shirtsleeve operation (for example, only getting final product by Load and Store operational access) and carry out.General, the memory address of visiting in every instruction can not surpass 1, and the operation of access memory can not mix with arithmetical operation, and most of instruction can be finished in a clock period; And, can realize the parallel work-flow of instructing by adopting the instruction pipelining operation.
It all is feasible that the present invention adopts RISC or CISC structure because the present invention improved be the internal data store parts that they all have.General, the internal data store parts of CPU can comprise Cache (cache memory) and TCM (tight coupling physical store module), owing to The present invention be directed to the improvement that memory unit with array memory structures carries out, so the present invention is when concrete the application, the internal data store parts need to adopt (perhaps comprising at least) tight coupling physical store module TCM.
In fact, TCM is the RAM (Random Access Memory random memory) of a fixed size, closely is coupled to CPU core, and the performance suitable with cache is provided.Its advantage than cache is that program code can accurately control what function or code is placed on there (in the RAM).Wherein, RAM is meant the storer that can randomly, individually conduct interviews, visit the required time basic fixed by instruction to each storage unit.
CPU embodiment shown in Figure 3, its modular construction is more detailed, specifically can comprise:
Data storage array 301 comprises a plurality of array blocks, is used to store data;
Command memory 302 is used for storage instruction;
Data storage manager 303 is used to manage the request of access of pointing to described data storage array;
Instruction storage manager 304 is used to manage the request of access of pointing to described command memory;
Instruction fetch unit 305 is used for reading from command memory 302 by instruction storage manager 304 instruction of required execution; Described instruction fetch unit can also be used for instruction is deciphered or tested, and produces corresponding operating control signal, so that start specified action;
Load/Store parts 306 are used to send loading or storage instruction, read or write required data by data storage manager 303 from data storage array 301;
Arithmetic unit 307 is used to finish various arithmetic sum logical operations; Performed computing meeting and the instruction of required execution and/or the data of being read and write are relevant;
Control assembly 308 is used for control and coordinates each functional part operation; Because controller is the basic element of character in the CPU device, belong to the technology of knowing of this area, and its function can change along with the variation of miscellaneous part.The present invention does not almost improve this, so just repeated no more at this;
Also comprise:
Be arranged in the clock control module 309 of data storage manager, be used for each array block, judge in next clock period whether the request of access at this array block is arranged at described data storage array 301; If have, then at next clock period clock signal to this array block, otherwise, forbid that in the next clock period clock signal exports this array block to.
Embodiment shown in Figure 3 also comprises instruction bus 310 and data bus 311, and the two only is logical partitioning, and in fact, if the bus time-sharing multiplex, the two is same physically.
For the request of access of pointing to described data storage array, a kind of situation is, initiates by CPU is inner, then in risc architecture, all can send to data storage manager by loading Load/ storage Store parts.Finish corresponding read-write operation by data storage manager then; If relate to computing, then call arithmetic unit and finish and get final product.Concrete request of access can comprise usually: address information, the control information of read or write; For write operation, can also comprise the required data that write.
Another kind of situation is, the request of access of the described data storage array of described sensing is the outside initiation of CPU, for example, for DMA (Direct Memory Access, direct memory access (DMA)), it can temporarily take data bus, directly sends request of access at data storage array to data storage manager.
In fact, because CPU inner structure more complicated, segmentation is gone down and is also had the place that does not much relate to, but because its most of function can belong to controller, so the present invention has not just described in detail one by one.Simple example is as follows:
For guaranteeing that instruction can go round and begin again, carry out down without any confusion, CPU may also need to use instruction counter to guarantee can know the address of next bar instruction when executing present instruction.Instruction counter work usually in two kinds of situation, the one, order is carried out, the 2nd, shift and carry out.Before program begins to carry out, the start address of program is sent into instruction counter; When execution command, instruction fetch unit or controller are with the content of automatic modify instruction counter, so that make the address of next the bar instruction that always will carry out of its maintenance.Because the great majority instruction is all carried out in order, gets final product so the process of revising just simply adds 1 usually.When running into transfer instruction such as JMP and instruct, the address of successor instruction (being the content of instruction counter) can not be as obtaining in order usually, but add a displacement addition of shifting forward or backward according to the address of present instruction and obtain, perhaps the address of the direct transfer that provides according to transfer instruction obtains.
Since between data storage array and CPU, exist the differentiation on the operating speed, thus may also need to use address register to keep address information, till the read/write operation of internal memory is finished.And address wire and data line great majority are time-sharing multiplexs, so also want addressed memory temporarily to preserve relevant address date.That is, when CPU and data storage array carry out message exchange (as, read and write data), need to use address register.
With reference to Fig. 4, show a kind of method embodiment of the CPU of reduction power consumption, this CPU comprises data storage array, comprising:
The request of access of data storage array among the CPU is pointed in step 401, reception; The request of access of the described data storage array of described sensing can be sent to the external reference request of data storage manager for the CPU external unit by data bus; The request of access of the described data storage array of described sensing also can be stored the inter access request that the Store parts send to data storage manager by loading Load/ for cpu controller;
Step 402, at each array block in the described data storage array, judge in next clock period whether the request of access at this array block is arranged;
If step 403 has, then at next clock period clock signal to this array block;
Step 404 otherwise, forbid that in the next clock period clock signal exports this array block to.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the data storage array of described CPU is tight coupling physical store module TCM, it comprises the sector block more than 4 or 4, and each sector block comprises the array block bank more than 4 or 4, promptly comprises 16 array blocks.
Preferably, for step 403, when control clock signal exports an array piece to, also comprise: control is effective status at the data enable signal of this array block.For step 404, when forbidding that clock signal exports an array piece to, also comprise: control is disarmed state at the data enable signal of this array block.
In a word, be able to smooth execution for guaranteeing instruction, in the prior art, the clock signal in any moment and data enable signal all are constant effective, thereby the power consumption of CPU is bigger.Only consider to reduce the CPU power consumption and those skilled in the art are general from the angle that changes the instruction execution priority, promptly under the condition of same CPU power consumption, how to execute instruction as much as possible, thereby improve the utilization factor of CPU, reduce the CPU power consumption indirectly, this design often needs all order set to be made greatly, changed than intricately.The present invention looks for another way, and has directly reduced the power consumption of data storage device, to the change minimum of CPU structure and operational process, and has reached the purpose that reduces the CPU power consumption equally also.
Each embodiment in this instructions all adopts the mode of going forward one by one to describe, and what each embodiment stressed all is and the difference of other embodiment that identical similar part is mutually referring to getting final product between each embodiment.
More than to method and a kind of CPU device of using said method of a kind of CPU of reduction power consumption provided by the present invention, be described in detail, used specific case herein principle of the present invention and embodiment are set forth, the explanation of above embodiment just is used for helping to understand method of the present invention and core concept thereof; Simultaneously, for one of ordinary skill in the art, according to thought of the present invention, the part that all can change in specific embodiments and applications, in sum, this description should not be construed as limitation of the present invention.
