| 摘要: |
| YHFT-DX是国防科技大学自主研制的一款高性能DSP。以提升YHFT-DX的Cache性能为目标，研究了降低Cache失效延迟的优化策略，设计并实现了一种针对高频高性能DSP的一级数据Cache优化策略——失效流水。与传统优化策略相比，该策略将连续访问Cache的失效请求并进行流水化处理，使多个Cache失效延迟重叠，从而达到降低平均Cache失效代价的目的。将该策略应用到YHFT-DX芯片的一级数据Cache控制器的设计与优化中，使访问Cache失效引起的流水线停顿从8拍降为2拍，显著提升了系统性能。 |

| Abstract: |
| YHFT-DX is a high performance DSP designed by national university of defense technology. This paper focuses on improving Cache performance, investigates optimization methods to reduce Cache miss stall penalties, designs and implements an optimization method focusing on one level data Cache controller in high frequency and high performance DSP-miss pipelining. Compared with traditional optimization methods, this method can deal with continual cache misses in pipeline, which overlaps multi Cache miss stalls, and then it can achieve the goal of reducing Cache miss stall penalties. Applying the method to the design and optimization in one level data Cache controller in YHFT-DX DSP, the Cache miss stall is reduced from 8 cycles to 2 cycles, and the system performance is evidently improved. |
