Experimental Systems: Baring It all Software: The MIT Raw Machine

Anant Agarwal麻省理工学院实验系统：将其全部开放给软件：麻省理工学院RAW机器RAW机器是一种可能适合十亿晶体管芯片的架构。它结合了一组具有集成可配置逻辑的复制处理器，通过点对点互连耦合，以及一个发现和调度跨块的指令级并行性的编译器系统。原始体系结构消除了传统的指令集接口，而是直接向编译器公开硬件的原始细节。这个项目通过模拟和编译器开发来评估一个Raw架构。要解决的研究问题包括芯片上专用于内存、计算和通信的区域的平衡；并行编译器的实现；编译器和运行时系统可以使用静态通信的程度；与多标量架构和VLIW等类似方法的比较；以及运行时软件技术可以增强静态Raw架构的效率。

EIA9810173 Anant Agarwal MIT Experimental Systems: Baring It All To Software: The MIT RAW Machine A Raw Machine is an architecture that may be suitable for billion-transistor chips. It combines a replicated set of processors with integrated configurable logic, coupled by point to point interconnect, and a compiler system that discovers and schedules instruction-level parallelism across the tiles. A Raw architecture eliminates the traditional instruction set interface and instead exposes the raw details of the hardware directly to the compiler. This project is evaluating a Raw architecture through simulation and compiler development. Research questions to be addressed include the balance of area devoted to memory, computation, and communication on the chip; implementation of a parallelizing compiler; extent to which static communication can be used by the compiler and run-time system; comparison with similar approaches such as multiscalar architectures and VLIW; and efficiency with which runtime software techniques can enhance the static Raw architecture.
