抽象机通常用在软件程序编译器中。提出了一个基于硬件抽象机的处理器设计方法,使用该方法设计了一个Java微处理器,并且利用硬件抽象机增强了处理器的指令级并行能力,提高了微处理器性能。描述了用于Java处理器的硬件抽象机设计方法,阐述了它的实现基本原理,给出了Java处理器的逻辑设计。通过软件仿真,证明了采用硬件抽象机的Java处理器可以获得从78%到173%的指令级并行增强,处理器性能提高平均31%。说明了提出的方法可以用于嵌入式微处理器的设计,提高系统性能。
The abstract machine is generally used to construct a software compiler.Proposed a method of building a hardware-based abstract machine,applied the method to design a Java processor,enhance the processor's instruction level parallelism(ILP),promote the processor's performance.Described the method of how to design the abstract machine,and gave the Java processor's logic architecture.Through simulation,the work we did demonstrated that the Java processor based on hardware abstract machine is able to enhance ILP in Java programs from 78% to 173%,and increase the processor's performance 31% in average.Also demonstrated that our method can be used to design embedded processor to improve the performance.
