Step 4: the position un-ACE in logic masking instruction is filtered out using logic correction module, it is susceptible to improve soft error Property assessment accuracy;
Step 5: the architecture grade soft error neurological susceptibility of institute's analysis component is calculated using soft error susceptibility analysis module Factor values obtain microprocessor by ACE in institute's analysis component in calculating test program module operational process proportions Architecture grade soft error susceptibility factors value judges institute according to micro-processor architecture grade soft error susceptibility factors value The probability that analysis component is influenced by soft error;
Step 6: terminating the assessment of micro-processor architecture grade soft error neurological susceptibility, susceptible according to obtained soft error Property analysis as a result, to microprocessor Design teacher provide reference.
Specific embodiment two:
According to the difference of the microprocessor architecture feature of simulator simulation, this method can apply to different pipeline organizations In the soft error susceptibility analysis of microprocessor.
Specific embodiment three:
Soft error susceptibility analysis process of the invention the following steps are included:
Simulator initial configuration: step 1 selects a simulator, as being with ARM instruction set in SimpleScalar The simplesim-ARM simulator of target carries out initial configuration to simulator configuration file, simulates the complete of microprocessor Function.The instruction set wherein used is ARMv7.
Step 2, if by non-memory component: whether the component that judgement is analyzed is instruction queue, register update list The non-memory components such as member, load store queue, functional unit, jump to step 3, otherwise jump to step 6;
Step 3, instruction analysis module: ACE refer to being component in program operation process so that implementation procedure does not malfunction On must assure that correct position.Corresponding, un-ACE refer to that soft error occurs on the position, will not be to program after Continuous execution impacts.Whether influence the output of program by the result that analysis instruction executes, by instruction be divided into ACE instruction with Un-ACE instruction.Main un-ACE instruction is NOP and dynamically dead instructions etc..It is in order to guarantee correctness, other instructions are all false It is set as ACE instruction.ACE instruction and un-ACE instruction classification result are as shown in Figure 3.Wherein logic masking instruction is also directly classified It is instructed in ACE.
Step 4, logic correction module: as step 3 is mentioned, in order to guarantee the accuracy of soft error susceptibility analysis, Logic masking instruction is directly all generally classified as ACE instruction.But un-ACE may also be contained in logic masking instruction, the position Upper generation soft error will not have an impact the output of program.Logic correction module is intended to find out the un- in logic masking instruction ACE, improve the accuracy of soft error neurological susceptibility assessment.The position un-ACE in logic correction module in logic masking instruction includes Following four situation:
(1) instruction for needing two source registers, such as multiplying order A*B;If one of source register is by soft error It misleads and causes bit flipping, but the value that another source register position corresponds to position is zero, then calculated result will not change because of bit flipping Become;Therefore, the position that bit flipping occurs is logically shielded, and referred to as un-ACE;
(2) instruction of a source register and an immediate, such as A*IMM are needed;If soft error occurs to deposit in source Device leads to bit flipping, but immediate is zero, and calculated result will not equally change because of soft error;Therefore on the source register Position be un-ACE;
(3) EOR and the EORS instruction of two source registers are needed;When the value of two source registers is identical, according to Its calculated result of logical operation is zero, therefore the position on two source registers is un-ACE;(4) a source deposit is needed Device and the EOR and EORS of an immediate instruction;If the value of source register is equal with immediate, which is Un-ACE;
The specific logical masking instruction found out from ARMv7 in this example is specifically as shown in table 1.
Table 1: specific logical masking instruction
Step 5, soft error susceptibility analysis: the micro-processor architecture grade soft error susceptibility factors of calculating unit (AVF) value, the calculation formula of AVF are as follows:
Wherein Nbits is the total bit of component, NACEi_bitsThe ACE digit for being component in period i, NACEi_lmispFor portion Part assumes the ACE digit of specific logical masking instruction position, ACE in period ijACE shape is in program process for position j Total clock periodicity of state, ACEj_lmispAssume that specific logical masking instruction is in ACE shape in program process for position j The clock periodicity of state, total periodicity that the program that total_exec_cycles is indicated executes.NACEi_lmispIt is more, AVF assessment It is worth higher, represents that component is easier to be influenced by soft error;On the contrary, NACEi_lmispFewer, AVF assessed value is lower, and component is more not It is easy to be affected by soft errors;
Step 6, life cycle analysis module: if the component of analysis is storage unit, in order to guarantee that its soft error is susceptible Property analysis accuracy, need to use the soft error susceptibility analysis side that combines with instruction analysis of life cycle analysis to component Method;Region division between operation can be ACE, un-ACE and unknown according to the different operation on storage position by life cycle analysis Unknown sections of position, the operation for storing position includes " idle ", " fill ", " read ", " write " and " evict ";Step 6 terminates After jump to step 3;
Life cycle can be further divided into ACE and un-ACE by life cycle analysis in step 6.For example, " idle ", " read-to-write " and " write-to-read " belong to the part un-ACE, and " fill-to-read " and " write-to-read " is the part ACE.In addition, read-write operation repeatedly causes the utilization rate of storage organization very high, therefore right Mostly than more conservative when the AVF of storage organization is estimated.In order to enable AVF estimation is practical, which further analysis had A little parts ACE can be converted the part un-ACE.Usual then two kinds of read operation behind one write operation.One is The read operation of ACE instruction, is referred to as ACE Read.Another kind is the read operation of dynamically dead instructions or special instruction, by it Referred to as un-ACE Read.Un-ACE Read appears in after write operation that there are three types of different situations:
(1) un-ACE Read is followed directly after after writing;
(2) before the un-ACE Read after write operation there are one or multiple read operations;
(3) it is operated after un-ACE Read without others ACE Read.
The part ACE in first two situation will not be converted into the part un-ACE, because after appearing in un-ACE Read ACE Read is easy to be affected by soft errors.From (3) it is found that using mixing AVF evaluation method because un-ACE Read it It is operated afterwards without ACE Read, the part un-ACE can be classified as.Step 3 is jumped to after step 6, is carried out subsequent Analysis.
Step 7 terminates assessment.
Compared to existing method, the present invention carries out instruction analysis by ACE analysis method, by instruction be divided into ACE instruction and After un-ACE instruction, further found out from ACE instruction by logic correction module un-ACE more.It improves to micro- place Manage the accuracy of device component soft error neurological susceptibility assessment.
The above is only the preferred embodiment of micro-processor architecture grade soft error neurological susceptibility appraisal procedure, micro- place The protection scope of reason body architecture grade soft error neurological susceptibility appraisal procedure is not limited merely to above-described embodiment, all to belong to thinking Under technical solution all belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.It should be pointed out that those of ordinary skill in the art, not Several improvements and changes being detached under the premise of the principle of the invention, such modifications and variations also should be regarded as protection scope of the present invention.
