    摘要: A data processing apparatus and method for performing multiply-accumulate operations is provided. The data processing apparatus includes data processing circuitry responsive to control signals to perform data processing operations on at least one input data element. Instruction decoder circuitry is responsive to a predicated multiply-accumulate instruction specifying as input operands a first input data element, a second input data element, and a predicate value, to generate control signals to control the data processing circuitry to perform a multiply-accumulate operation by: multiplying said first input data element and said second input data element to produce a multiplication data element; if the predicate value has a first value, producing a result accumulate data element by adding the multiplication data element to an initial accumulate data element; and if the predicate value has a second value, producing the result accumulate data element by subtracting the multiplication data element from the initial accumulate data element. Such an approach provides a particularly efficient mechanism for performing complex sequences of multiply-add and multiply-subtract operations, facilitating improvements in performance, energy consumption and code density when compared with known prior art techniques.

    摘要: A data processing system incorporating a cache memory 2 and a central processing unit. A storage control circuit 10 is responsive to a programmable partition setting PartVal to partition the cache memory between instruction words and data words in dependence upon whether the central processing unit 4 indicates with signal I/D whether the word to be stored within the cache memory 2 resulted from an instruction word cache miss or data word cache miss. The cache memory array 2 may have a programmably sized portion locked down so that it is not replaced. The selection within the complementary programmable range where overwriting takes place uses a pseudo random selection technique using pseudo random number generator in the form of a linear feedback shift register triggering incrementing of a counter.

    摘要: An iterative multiplier having a multiplier core generating partial results upon each iteration. When an early terminate of a multiply instruction occurs, at least one of the partial results is passed to a general purpose barrel shifter for bit realignment dependent upon the number of iterations performed before the early terminate occurred. The bit realigned partial results are then passed to an arithmetic logic unit where they are added to yield the final result.

    摘要: A microprocessor system comprising a register bank 6 and an execution unit 8 incorporating a barrel shifter 10 and an ALU 12 is provided. The register bank 6 has X read ports whilst at least some of the program instructions require Y input operands to be read from the register bank 6, where Y is greater than X. A cache register 18 is provided that caches previously read input operands for supply to the barrel shifter 10 and if it is detected that the same register is being read a second or subsequent time then this cached value is supplied to the barrel shifter 10 rather than requiring a further read from the register bank 6. A tag register 20 associated with each cache register 18 draws data indicating from which register within the register bank 6 the cached data value was copied. A valid flag 22 indicates that that cached data value is still current, i.e. at the corresponding register within the register bank 6 has not been overwritten.

    摘要: A data processing system is described utilizes a multiplier-accumulator 108 that performs both a first class of multiply-accumulate instructions and a second class of multiply-accumulate instructions. The first class of multiply-accumulate instructions are of the form N*N+N.fwdarw.N and the second class of multiply-accumulate instructions are of the form N*N+2N.fwdarw.2N. The second class of multiply-accumulate instructions provide a greater precision of arithmetic in a single instruction and avoid the use of excessive instruction set space by being constrained that the result is written back into the two registers from which the 2N-bit accumulate value was taken. The multiplier-accumulator also provides N*N.fwdarw.N and N*N.fwdarw.2N multiplication operations.
