| 摘要: |
| 代码体积和代码稀疏是VLIW处理器一直存在的问题。通过对一系列典型应用在流处理器上的程序特征进行分析，提出了一种新的VLIW分域压缩技术，剔除各个子域中的空操作，并设计了分布式指令存储器对压缩后的代码进行解压缩执行。实验证明，该技术能够减少MASA流处理器中近39%的片外指令访存，降低约65%的片上指令存储器空间需求；同时使得指令存储器面积和系统面积分别减少了约37%和8.9%。 |

| Abstract: |
| Huge code cubage and poor code density have always been a serious problem in VLIW processors. Through analyzing the code characteristics of a series of typical applications on stream processor, a novel domain-divided VLIW code compression scheme to eliminate the nop operations in each domain, and a distributed instruction memory to decompress and execute of the codes are proposed. The experiments show that this scheme can reduce nearly 39% of the off-chip instruction memory accessing and about 65% of the on-chip instruction memory space demand. Meanwhile, it can also depress the area of on-chip instruction memory and MASA stream processor by 37% and 8.9% respectively. |
