Abstract :
The authors describe the high-performance single-chip microarchitecture of HPSm, which is being refined to provide a second chip, the HPSm2, with a 33% performance improvement. They relate how they are achieving this by making the HPS data path more regular and migrating many of the hardware functions to the compiler.<>
