DESCRIPTION
The Aeroflex ACT5261 is a highly integrated
superscalar microprocessor that implements a
superset of the MIPS IV Instruction Set
Architect ure(I SA). It has a hig h pe rform an ce 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 cac he, a 32 KByte 2 -way set assoc iative
data cache, and a high-performance 64-bit system
interface. The ACT5261 can issue both an integer
and a float ing point instruc t ion in the same c y c le.
The ACT5261 is ideally suited for high-end
embedded control applications such as
internetworking, high performance image
manipulation, high speed printing, and 3-D
visualization.
HARDWARE OVERVIEW
The ACT5261 offers a high-level of integration
targeted at high-performance embedded
applications. The key elements of the ACT5261 are
briefly desc ribed below.
Superscalar Dispatch
The ACT5261 has an efficient asymmetric
superscalar dispatch unit which allows it to issue an
integer ins t ruction an d a floating- point comput at ion
instruction simultaneously. With respect to
superscal ar issue, i nteger ins tructions in clude alu ,
branch, load/store, and floating-point load/ store,
while floating-point computation instructions
include floating-point add, subtract, combined
multiply-a dd, conver ts, etc. In c ombinatio n with its
high throughput fully pipelined floating-point
execution unit, the superscalar capability of the
ACT526 1 pro vide s un pa rallele d p rice /perfo rman ce
in computationally intensive embedded
applications.
Integer Unit
Like the ACT5260, the ACT5261 implements the
MIPS IV Instruction Set Architecture, and is
therefo re fully u pw ard com pat ible with applications
that run on processors implementing the earlier
generation MIPS I-III instruction sets. Additionally,
the AC T 5261 includes two implem entation specific
instruct ions no t found in t he base line MIPS IV ISA
but tha t are u seful in t he em bedded marke t place.
Described in detail in the QED R M 5261 datas heet,
these instructions are integer multipl y-accumulate
and 3-operand integer multiply.
The ACT5261 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 m ultiply/divid e operations , a nd t he program
counte r(PC).
Register File
The ACT5261 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.
ALU
The ACT5261 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
operations in a single processor cycle.
CPU Registers
Like all MIPS ISA processors, the ACT5261 CPU
has a simple, clean user visible state consisting of
32 gene ral purpo se regi sters, two sp ecial pu rpose
registers for integer multiplication and division, a
program counter, and no condition code bits.
For additional Detail Information regarding the
operation of the Quantum Effect Design (QED)
RISCMark RM 5261, 64-Bit Superscalar
Microprocessor see the latest QED datasheet
(Revision 1.0 July 1998).
Pipeline
For integ er operations, loa ds, stores, and oth er
non-floating-point operations, the ACT5261 uses
the simple 5-stage pipeline also found in the
RM52xx family, 4600, R4700, and R5000. In
addition to this standard pipeline, the ACT5261
uses an extended seven stage pipeline for
floating-point operations. Like the ACT5260, the
ACT5261 does virtual to physical translation in
parallel wit h c ac he access.
