Efficient multimedia coprocessor with enhanced SIMD engines for exploiting ILP and DLP
A simple 8-way TTA coprocessor with cost-effective SIMD functional units can efficiently exploit ILP and DLP. Long vector capabilities built upon existing SIMD hardware achieves better cost-performance tradeoff. Unified scalar and vector approach eliminates the transformation overhead between them. The implicit data permutation mechanism can address the conventional permutation limitations of SIMD architecture.
