Abstract
A quantitative method for designing application specific integrated (sub)systems is presented. The method uses a general-purpose silicon assembler-ALMA (Approche d'un Langage de Micro-Architecture). We illustrate this approach by the example of a dictionary machine that consists of n processing elements working in parallel. An analysis of the effect of several generic parameters on the performance and the size of the silicon parts exemplifies the quantitative approach to cost/performance tradeoffs that is offered by ALMA.<>
提出了一种定量设计特定应用集成(子系统)系统的方法。该方法使用通用硅汇编器alma (approach d’un language de microarchitecture)。我们通过一个字典机的例子来说明这种方法,这个字典机由n个并行工作的处理元素组成。对几个通用参数对性能和硅部件尺寸的影响的分析举例说明了ALMA提供的成本/性能权衡的定量方法。
