3Hardware Overview
The RM5261A offers a high-level of integration targeted at high-performance embedded
applications. The key elements of the RM5261A are briefly described below.
3.1Superscalar Dispatch
The RM5261A has an asymmetric superscalar dispatch unit which allows it to issue an integer
instruction and a floating-point computation instruction simultaneously. Integer instructions
include alu, branch, load/store, and floating-point load/store, while floating-point computation
instructions include fl oat in g-point add, subtract, combined multipl y- add, and convert. In
combination with its high- throug hput fully pipel ined fl oatin g-p oint exe cutio n unit, the supersc alar
capability of the RM5261A provides unparalleled price/perf ormance in computationally intensive
embedded applications.
3.2CPU Registers
The RM5261A CPU contains 32 general purpose registers, two special purpose registers for
integer multiplicati on and division, a program counter, and no condition code bits. Figure 2 shows
the user visible state.

3.3Integer Unit
The RM5261A implements t he MIPS IV I nstruct ion Set Ar chitect ure and i s there fore full y upward
compatible with applic ations that run on proce ssors implementing the earlier generation MIPS IIII instruction set s. Add it ion al ly, the RM5261A includes two implementat ion specific instruct io ns
not found in the baseline MIPS IV ISA but that are useful in the embedded market place. These
instructio ns are integer multiply-accumulat e (

MAD) and 3-operand integer multiply (MUL).
The RM5261A 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 resul t registers for the twooperand integer multiply/divide operations, and the program counter (PC).

3.4Pipeline
For integer operations, loads, stores, and other non-floating-point operations, the RM5261A
implements a 5-stage integer pipeline. In addi tion to the integer pipeline, the RM5261A
implements an extended 7-stage pipeline for floating-point operations.

The RM5261A has thirty-two general purpose registers with register location 0 (r0) hard-wired to
a zero value. 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.
3.6ALU
The RM5261A ALU consists of an integer adder/subtractor, a logic unit, and a shifter. The adder
performs address calculations in addition to arithmetic operations. The logic unit performs all
logical and zero s hift d ata moves . The shift er per forms s hifts and store align ment o perat ions. Eac h
of these units is optimized to perfor m all operations in a sing l e processor cycle.
3.7Integer Multiply/Divide
The RM5261A has a dedicated i ntege r multi ply/di vide un it opt imized f or hig h-spee d multip ly a nd
multiply-accumulate operations. Table 1 shows the performance of the multiply/divide unit on
each operation.

Cycles
The baseline MIPS IV ISA specifies that the results of a multiply or divide operation be placed in
the Hi and Lo registers. These values can then be transferred to the general purpose register file
using the Move-from-Hi and Move-from-Lo (
MFHI/MFLO) instructi ons.
In addition to the baseline MIPS IV integer multiply instructions, the RM5261A also implements
the 3-operand multiply instruction,
MUL. This instruction specifies that the multiply result go
directly to the integer register file rather than the Lo register. The portion of the multiply that
would have normally gone i nto the Hi re gister i s discard ed. For applicat ions where i t is known tha t
the upper half of the multiply result is not required, using the
necessity of executing an explicit
MFLO instruction.
MUL instruction eliminates the
The multiply-add instructions,
MAD and MADU, multiply two ope rands and add the resulting
product to the current contents of the Hi and Lo registers. The multip ly-accumulate operat ion is
the core primitive of almost all signal processing algorithms, allowing the RM5261A to eliminate
the need for a separate DSP engine in many embedded applications.
3.8Floating-Point Co-Processor
The RM5261A incorporate s a hig h-p erfor mance fu lly pi pe lined float ing-p oint c o-proc ess or whic h
includes a floating-po int register file and autonomous execution units for multiply/a dd/convert and
divide/square root. The floating-point coprocessor is a tightly coupled execution unit, decoding
and executing instructions in parallel with, and in the case of floating-point loads and stores, in
cooperation with the integer unit. The superscalar capabilities of the RM5261A allow floatingpoint computation instructions to issue concurrently with integer instructions.
3.9Floating-Point Unit
The RM5261A floating-point execution unit supports single and double precision arithmetic, as
specified in the IEEE S tanda rd 754. The ex ecution uni t is broken i nto a separa te divide /square ro ot
unit and a pipelined multiply/add unit. Overlap of the divide/square root and multiply/add
operations is supported.
The RM5261A maintains fully precise floating-point exceptions while allowing both overlapped
and pipelined operations. Precise exceptions are extremely important in object-oriented
programming environments and highly desirable for debugging in any environment.
