This paper describes a novel video specific instruction set architecture for ASIP design. With single instruction multiple data (SIMD) instructions, two destination modes, and video specific instructions, an instruction set architecture is introduced to enhance the performance for video applications. Furthermore, we quantify the improvement on H.263 encoding. In this paper, we evaluate and compare the performance of VS-ISA, other DSPs (digital signal processors), and conventional SIMD media extensions in the context of video coding. Our evaluation results show that VS-ISA improves the processor's performance by approximately 5x on H.263 encoding, and VS-ISA outperforms other architectures by 1.6x to 8.57x in computing IDCT.

In this paper, we propose a flexible scalable BP Polar decoding application-specific instruction set processor (PASIP) that supports multiple code lengths (64 to 4096) and any code rates. High throughputs and sufficient programmability are achieved by the single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) based architecture and specially designed Polar decoding acceleration instructions. The synthesis result using 65 nm CMOS technology shows that the total area of PASIP is 2.71 mm2. PASIP provides the maximum throughput of 1563 Mbps (for N = 1024) at the work frequency of 400MHz. The comparison with state-of-art Polar decoders reveals PASIP’s high area efficiency.

Computing Speed

In order to meet the computing speed required by 4G wireless communications, and to provide the different data processing widths required by different algorithms, an SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) core has been designed. The ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) and main components of the SIMD core are discussed focus on how the SIMD core can be configured. Finally, the simulation result of the multiplication of two 8*8 matrices is presented to show the execution of instructions in the proposed SIMD core, and the result verifies the correctness of the SIMD core design.

Background: With the growing demand of image processing and the use of Digital Signal Processors (DSP), the efficiency of the Multipliers and Accumulators has become a bottleneck to get through. We revised a few patents on an Application Specific Instruction Set Processor (ASIP), where the design considerations are proposed for application-specific computing in an efficient way to enhance the throughput. Objective: The study aims to develop and analyze a computationally efficient method to optimize the speed performance of MAC. Methods: The work presented here proposes the design of an Application Specific Instruction Set Processor, exploiting a Multiplier Accumulator integrated as the dedicated hardware. This MAC is optimized for high-speed performance and is the application-specific part of the processor; here it can be the DSP block of an image processor while a 16-bit Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processor core gives the flexibility to the design for any computing. The design was emulated on a Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and tested for various real-time computing. Results: The synthesis of the hardware logic on FPGA tools gave the operating frequencies of the legacy methods and the proposed method, the simulation of the logic verified the functionality. Conclusion: With the proposed method, a significant improvement of 16% increase in throughput has been observed for 256 steps iterations of multiplier and accumulators on an 8-bit sample data. Such an improvement can help in reducing the computation time in many digital signal processing applications where multiplication and addition are done iteratively.
