DESCRIPTION
The Aeroflex ACT5271 is a highly integrated
superscalar microprocessor that implements a
superset of the MIPS IV Instruction Set
Architecture(ISA). It has a high performance 64-bit
integer unit, a high throughput, fully pipelined 64-bit
floating point unit, an operating system friendly
memory management unit with a 48-entry fully
associative TLB, a 32 KByte 2-way set associative
instruction cache, a 32 KByte 2-way set associative
data cache, and a high-performance 64-bit system
interface with support for an optional external
secondary cache. The ACT5271 can issue both an
integer and a floating point instruction in the same
cycle.
The ACT5271 is ideally suited for high-end
embedded
control
applications
such
as
internetworking,
high
performance
image
manipulation, high speed printing, and 3-D
visualization.The ACT5271 is also applicable to the
low end workstation market where its balanced
integer and floating-point performance and direct
support for a large secondary cache (up to 2MB)
provide outstanding price/performance
addition to this standard pipeline, the ACT5271
uses an extended seven stage pipeline for
floating-point operations. Like the ACT5270 and
R5000, the ACT5271 does virtual to physical
translation in parallel with cache access.
Integer Unit
Like the other members of the ACT52xx family
and R5000, the ACT5271 implements the MIPS IV
Instruction Set Architecture, and is therefore fully
upward compatible with applications that run on
processors implementing the earlier generation
MIPS I-III instruction sets. Additionally, the
ACT5271 includes two implementation specific
instructions not found in the baseline MIPS IV ISA
but that are useful in the embedded market place.
Described in detail in the QED RM5271 datasheet,
these instructions are integer multiply-accumulate
and 3-operand integer multiply.
The ACT5271 integer unit includes thirty-two
general purpose 64-bit registers, a load/store
architecture with single cycle ALU operations (add,
sub, logical, shift) and an autonomous multiply/
divide unit. Additional register resources include:
the HI/LO result registers for the two-operand
integer multiply/divide operations, and the program
counter(PC).
HARDWARE OVERVIEW
The ACT5271 offers a high-level of integration
targeted
at
high-performance
embedded
applications. The key elements of the ACT5271
are briefly described below.
Register File
The ACT5271 has thirty-two general purpose
registers with register location 0 hard wired to zero.
These registers are used for scalar integer
operations and address calculation. The register
file has two read ports and one write port and is fully
bypassed to minimize operation latency in the
pipeline.
Superscalar Dispatch
The ACT5271 has an efficient asymmetric
superscalar dispatch unit which allows it to issue an
integer instruction and a floating-point computation
instruction simultaneously. With respect to
superscalar issue, integer instructions include alu,
branch, load/store, and floating-point load/ store,
while floating-point computation instructions
include floating-point add, subtract, combined
multiply-add, converts, etc. In combination with its
high throughput fully pipelined floating-point
execution unit, the superscalar capability of the
ACT5271 provides unparalleled price/performance
in
computationally
intensive
embedded
applications.
ALU
The ACT5271 ALU consists of the integer adder/
subtractor, the logic unit, and the shifter. The adder
performs address calculations in addition to
arithmetic operations, the logic unit performs all
logical and zero shift data moves, and the shifter
performs shifts and store alignment operations.
Each of these units is optimized to perform all tions
in a single processor cycle.
CPU Registers
Like all MIPS ISA processors, the ACT5271 CPU
has a simple, clean user visible state consisting of
32 general purpose registers, two special purpose
registers for integer multiplication and division, a
program counter, and no condition code bits.
Pipeline
For integer operations, loads, stores, and other
non-floating-point operations, the ACT5271 uses
the simple 5-stage pipeline also found in the
ACT52xx family, R4600, R4700, and R5000. In
