Abstract | In this paper, we propose the dynamic configuration of application specific implicit instructions for pipelined processors to better exploit the available parallelism at instruction level. Given the target application, the compiler selects a set of candidate instructions to be implicitly executed - i.e. their execution is controlled through a data-driven model, which avoids explicit instruction fetch. Consequently, the clock cycles usually required for the explicit issues are saved, thus improving the performance and reducing the code size. The compiler generates the reconfiguration operations to properly setup the data-path. The processor pipeline has been optimized to support the parallel execution of implicitly issued instructions, requiring a limited hardware overhead. The proposed technique has a negligible impact on the processor ISA - only reconfiguration instructions are added - which also benefits the compiler development times, since the optimization can be almost seamlessly added to an existing compilation tool-chain. The proposed approach has been applied to DSP and multimedia kernel loops, comparing its performance with those of two different baseline architectures: a scalar MIPS processor and a 4-issue VLIW processor of the LX family provided by STMicroelectronics [5]. Experimental results show a speedup ranging from 10 to 35%, and an average code size reduction of 19%. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
