Description

A kind of embedded multi-microcontroller core switch chain structure and method of work thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to chip system field on sheet, particularly relate to a kind of embedded multi-microcontroller core switch chain structure and method of work thereof.
Background technology
Many kernels refer to integrated two or more complete computing engines (kernel) in one piece of processor.The speed that the exploitation of multi-core technology only improves monokaryon chip can produce too much heat and cannot bring corresponding performance improvement, and previous processor products is exactly like this.Work with that speed in previous product, the heat that processor produces can exceed sun surface very soon.Even if do not have heat problem, its cost performance also makes us being difficult to accepting, and the slightly fast processor price of speed wants high a lot.
As shown in Figure 1, when a monokaryon improves frequency operation (raising operating rate), in time performing same task, power consumption can significantly increase but performance is not but greatly improved.If but changing frequency time double-core goes to perform same task into reduces, power consumption has no change, but performance--1,000,000 instructions (MIPS) per second but have great raising.But when manufacturing process is constantly being contracted to 40nm, 22nm, 14nm, 9nm, time even less, element leakage fails to be convened for lack of a quorum constantly to be increased, and electricity leakage power dissipation can be greater than more than 50% of total power consumption.On this basis, if when using double-core or multinuclear, energy efficiency (dynamic power/(dynamic power+electric leakage energy)) can reduce greatly.This also just means, if multi core chip is battery-powered, the effective rate of utilization of the energy content of battery will greatly reduce, and namely the electric leakage energy of the large multi-energy core sheet of battery is to consuming.
Individual comparison is done with prior art, as shown in table 1, when a monokaryon has worked two same task with frequency F time, use up time T, consume dynamic power Ed, and consume electric leakage energy be Elek, wherein suppose under Super deep submicron process, dynamic power consumption accounts for 40% of total power consumption, electricity leakage power dissipation accounts for 60% of general power, and the integration of power consumption to the time is energy, and corresponding dynamic power accounts for 40% of consumed gross energy, electric leakage energy accounts for 60% of consumed gross energy, and namely energy efficiency is Ed/ (Ed+Elek)=40%.When two core work complete same two tasks time, the frequency of operation of core is set for (1/n) F, so the time that double-core has all opened required task is nT/2, again because dynamic power consumption is proportional to cv 2f (wherein c is capacitive load, and v is chip operating voltage, and f is working frequency of chip), so double-core dynamic power consumption that work consumes is 2*cv 2(1/n) F, namely consumed dynamic power is Ed (energy is that power consumption is multiplied by the time), the same with dynamic power that monokaryon consumes, electric leakage energy ezpenditure is then n*Elek, total power consumption is that Ed adds n*Elek, energy efficiency is Ed/ (Ed+n*Elek), supposes that n equals 2, and energy efficiency is just 25%.That is, under Super deep submicron process, when double-core goes to process same thing with 1/2 of original frequency time, to consume dynamic power constant, performance (MIPS) is also constant, but electric leakage energy ezpenditure is double, causes energy efficiency almost to reduce half.
Table 1 monokaryon and double-core energy efficiency contrast form
Frequency Working time Dynamic power consumes Electric leakage energy ezpenditure Total power consumption Energy efficiency
Monokaryon F T Ed Elek Et 40%
Double-core 1/2F T Ed 2*Elek 1.6*Et 25%
Can draw from these group data, under sub-micro manufacturing process, along with open in the same time period more multinuclear go process multitask time, the result caused is exactly the further reduction of power consumption efficiency, in other words, along with Super deep submicron process is more toward small size development, multinuclear is opened work capacity efficiency simultaneously and also will be declined further, and this just means that energy utilization rate is more and more lower.

Fu refers to the value of Fu (fullyutilized) negate.Show during non_fu=1 that this microprocessor core is in power on and the state of the not busy work of ALU, namely dynamic power consumption is not in peak value.Show during non_fu=0 that this microprocessor core is in turn off or power on and the state of the busy work of ALU.Non_fu_comb is the non_fu logical OR signal together that all microprocessor cores export, as non_fu_comb=1, representing on chain has at least a microprocessor core to be in the not busy duty of ALU, as non_fu_comb=0, represent the microprocessor core on chain or be in power-off state, ALU on microprocessor core is in busy duty, and namely dynamic power consumption is in peak value.

3rd step, if this interrupts, the priority of exception or task is not the highest and urgently do not process, operating system (OS) judges whether non_fu_comb signal waits and 1, if equal 1, have at least a microprocessor core to be in expression system and power on and the state of the not busy work of ALU, now OS is just put into this interruption, exception or task in system wait list (waiting list); If be not equal to 1, represent that the ALU circuit part of all microprocessor cores that open on chain is all fully utilized, at this moment operating system (OS) will travel through whole switch chain in order, newly open or wake up the microprocessor core of first power down on chain to process this interruption, exception or task;
4th step; after the microprocessor core opened or wake up processes interruption, exception or task; the interruption that OS goes check system to wait in list whether to have process or not again, exception or task; if do not had; OS can turn off this microprocessor core, can reduce electricity leakage power dissipation like this thus increase energy efficiency.If be not empty in system wait list, namely have the interruption of process, exception or task or not, now do the 5th step;
5th step, OS judges to remove again ought up till now microprocessor core, the situation of non_fu_comb signal, if equal 1, illustrate that except this microprocessor core, also have a microprocessor core to be at least in powers on and the not busy duty of ALU, this time, OS can turn off this microprocessor core, can reduce electricity leakage power dissipation like this thus increase energy efficiency; If be not equal to 1, illustrate that any one except this microprocessor core microprocessor core of powering on is all the state being in the busy work of ALU;
6th step, now OS judges whether the microprocessor core on chain before this microprocessor core order has the microprocessor core being in off state, if had, then turn off this microprocessor core, and the microprocessor core newly opening or wake up first power down on chain is to process that this interrupts, exception or task; If no, then do not descend this interruption of electric treatment, exception or task, the 4th step after finishing on get back to, judge whether system wait list is empty;
The present embodiment is multi-microcontroller core system when just powering on and ALU is accessed frequently, it is not the highest interrupt event that chip exterior has carried out a priority, when second microprocessor core at Processing tasks and ALU is part-load time, having carried out again a priority is not the highest anomalous event, has carried out again a task that priority is the highest after a while.
Here is the whole detailed step of this event of process:

Second step, judges whether this priority is the highest and urgently processes.
3rd step, result is non-post, judges whether non_fu_comb signal equals 1;
4th step, non_fu_comb signal equals 0, and representative now all microprocessor cores powered on all is in ALU by frequent utilization state, and operating system (OS) will open microprocessor core 2, processes this event.
5th step, now carrys out again an event, judges whether its priority is the highest and urgently processes.
6th step, result is non-post, judges whether non_fu_comb signal equals 1
7th step, non_fu_comb signal equals 1, and representative now has at least a microprocessor core to be in ALU to be not exclusively utilized state, and OS will be put into this event in system wait list.
8th step, now carrys out again an event, judges whether its priority is the highest and urgently processes.
9th step, if this Event Priority is the highest and urgently processes, no matter whether non_fu_comb signal equals 1, all newly will open microprocessor core 3 to process this event.
9th step, after microprocessor core 2 processes task prior to microprocessor core 3 and microprocessor core 1, OS judges whether wait for event in addition in system wait list, found that a untreated event in addition.
Tenth step, now OS judges whether non_fu_comb signal equals 1, result is that non-post (represents microprocessor core 1 and is all in frequent accessed state with the respective ALU of microprocessor core 2, dynamic power consumption reaches the highest), so microprocessor core 2 does not descend this event in electric treatment system wait list;
11 step, after microprocessor core 3 processes task, OS judges that system wait list is as empty, so turn off microprocessor core 3;
12 step, after microprocessor core 2 processes task, OS judges that system wait list is as empty, so turn off microprocessor core 2;
13 step, after microprocessor core 1 processes task, OS judges system wait list is as empty, now determines whether will turn off microprocessor core 1 by OS, makes chip be in super low-power consumption pattern, or continues to keep "on" position (standby).
