Description

Support can recombinate general processor and the method thereof of multinuclear IP
Technical field
The present invention relates to processor, specifically, relate to a kind of general processor and a kind of method for the multinuclear IP that can recombinate general processor support for the multinuclear IP that supports to recombinate.
Background technology
Processor is a vitals in the computing machine, and its performance often determines the performance of computing machine.The exploitation of processor is the major issue that people are concerned about with research.
Fig. 2 shows the general structure of the general processor of prior art.
As shown in Figure 2, general processor 2000 comprises instruction decoding device 2010 and general arithmetic and logic unit 2020.
Instruction decoding device 2010 receives instruction, and the Instruction decoding operation is carried out in instruction, and produces the Instruction decoding result.
General arithmetic and logic unit 2020 according to the Instruction decoding result to pending data executable operations, with produce output result.
General processor 2000 can also comprise many other parts, for example, and clock unit 2030, storer 2040, test cell 2050 etc.
Fig. 2 illustration the implementation of general processor of prior art.In the implementation of prior art, model a general structure, that is, and general arithmetic and logic unit 2020.This general structure is carried out various operations according to the control signal (that is, the Instruction decoding result) that offers it to pending data.Provide control signal by instruction decoding device 2010.
For this general structure, system's receive data and control signal, and produce output.Like this, for each new program (application), the programmer only need to provide one group of new control signal (instruction), and does not need to reconnect hardware.
There are many problems in the structure of this general processor.It exchanges versatility for take the sacrifice performance as cost.
For example, in the general processor structure of prior art, all processing finally all need to carry out by general arithmetic and logic unit 2020.Therefore, with regard to this point, the general processor of prior art be serial or centralized.And in fact, may there be many processing can executed in parallel.In the general processor of prior art, the processing that these originally can executed in parallel must wait for that general arithmetic and logic unit 2020 sequentially carries out them.Like this, the speed of processing has been lowered.
In addition, because general arithmetic and logic unit 2020 is fixed, therefore, for data being carried out various operations, therefore, need to there be a powerful instruction decoding device 2010 to come to provide various control signals for it.This has increased the realization complexity and difficulties of instruction decoding device.In the situation that have, instruction decoding device is loaded owing to need to bearing too much processing, and becomes the bottleneck of restriction processor performance.
In addition, in order to be applicable to various application, for originally can by the one step completed processing of specialized hardware, in the general processor of prior art, often needing it is split as a plurality of processing.In fact this greatly reduce the handling property of processor.
Fig. 3 shows the another kind of structure of the general processor of prior art.
As shown in Figure 3, general processor 3000 comprises allocation units 3010, instruction decoding device 3020, specialized processing units 3030 and general arithmetic and logic unit 3040.
Allocation units 3010 send to instruction decoding device 3020 with a part of instruction, and a part of instruction is sent to specialized processing units 3030, to carry out special processing.
Instruction decoding device 3020 receives instruction, and the Instruction decoding operation is carried out in instruction, and produces the Instruction decoding result.
Specialized processing units 3030 is used for realizing special processing capacity.
General arithmetic and logic unit 3050 according to the Instruction decoding result to pending data executable operations, with produce output result.
General processor 3000 can also comprise many other parts, for example, and clock unit 3050, storer 3060, test cell 3070 etc.
Because existing defective in the general processor as previously described, therefore, in some cases, general processor shown in Figure 2 can't satisfy the demand of some application.Therefore, in the structure of general processor shown in Figure 3, provide the processing unit of special use to satisfy this part demand.
In fact, the structure of general processor shown in Figure 3 only is the simple superposition of dedicated processes hardware and general processor, and the structure of general processor shown in Figure 2 is not made any substantial change.
For example, the resource in the chip is limited, can not a specialized processing units be set for every kind of application.If for every kind of application a specialized processing units is set, general arithmetic and logic unit has also just lost the meaning that exists.
In addition, even if in the situation that be provided with specialized processing units, the hard wire structure of specialized processing units and general arithmetic and logic unit is also all fixed.Therefore, be difficult to configure neatly the annexation between the unit, thereby dynamically the result with a unit offers another unit use, and perhaps the result with another unit offers a unit use, perhaps carries out concurrently processing by different unit.These often also are the importances that improves processor performance.
In addition, if only adopt the dedicated processes hardware circuit, although can be for a certain optimizing application circuit, thereby reach desirable performance,, the scope of its application but is limited by very large.
In addition, the present inventor notices, the technician has developed the many IP kernels that are used for realizing various functions.These IP kernels are optimized hardware for the processing that will carry out.They often can take resource seldom, and very high processing speed is provided.These IP kernels often can reach very high handling property.But because the restriction of this structure of the general processor of prior art, these IP kernels are difficult to be utilized by general processor, perhaps only can be used as specialized processing units attached in the general processor.
In addition, although in the prior art, can use field programmable device (FPGA) etc. to realize some application functions,, after hardware configuration program was downloaded among the FPGA, the function of this FPGA also just had been fixed.On the one hand, can not be every kind of application function download configuration program again all.On the other hand, if realize multiple application function when seeking common ground, then in the prior art, FPGA can only be configured to have the structure of foregoing general processor.This still can't solve the problems of the technologies described above.
Therefore, need to propose a kind of new technology and solve above-mentioned any problem of the prior art.
