Instructions in MLRISC are implemented as abstract datatypes and
must satisfy the signature
<a href="../../instructions/instructions.sig" target=code>INSTRUCTIONS</a>, defined as follows:
<p>
<font color="#000000"><small><pre>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>signature</b></font> INSTRUCTIONS =
<font color="#6060a0"><b><font color="#6060a0"><b>sig</b></font></b></font>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>structure</b></font> C : <a href="cells.html">CELLS</a>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>structure</b></font> Constant : <a href="constants.html">CONSTANT</a>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>structure</b></font> LabelExp : <a href="labelexp.html">LABELEXP</a>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>sharing</b></font> LabelExp.Constant = Constant
<font color="#6060a0"><b>type</b></font> operand
<font color="#6060a0"><b>type</b></font> ea
<font color="#6060a0"><b>type</b></font> addressing_mode
<font color="#6060a0"><b>type</b></font> instruction
<font color="#6060a0"><b>end</b></font>
</pre></small></font>
Type <tt>operand</tt> is used to represent ioperands,
<tt>ea</tt> is used to represent effective addresses, type
<tt>addressing_mode</tt> is used to represent the internal addressing mode
used by the architecture. Note that these are all abstract according to
the signature, so the client has complete freedom in choosing the most
convenient representation for these things.
<p>
<a name="link0000"></a>
<h2><font color="#486591">Predication</font></h2>
For architectures that have full <font color="#ff0000">predication</font>
built-in, such as the C6xx or IA-64, the instruction set should be
extended to satisfy the signature:
<font color="#000000"><small><pre>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>signature</b></font> <a href="../../instructions/pred-instructions.sig" target=code>PREDICATED_INSTRUCTIONS</a> =
<font color="#6060a0"><b><font color="#6060a0"><b>sig</b></font></b></font>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>include</b></font> INSTRUCTIONS
<font color="#6060a0"><b>type</b></font> predicate
<font color="#6060a0"><b>end</b></font>
</pre></small></font>
This basically says that the type that is used to represent a predicate
can be implemented however the client wants. This flexibility
is quite important since the predication model may differ substantially
from architecture to architecture.
<p>
For example, in the TI C6, there are no seperate predicate register files
and integer registers double as predicate registers, and the predicate
true is any non-zero value. Each instruction can be predicated under a
predicate register or its negation. In contrasts, architectures such as
IA-64 and HP's Playdoh incorporate separate predicate registers into their
architectures. In Playdoh, <font color="#ff0000">predicate defining</font> instructions
actually set a pair of complementary predicate registers,
and instructions can only
be predicated under the value of a predicate register, not its negation.
<p>
<a name="link0001"></a>
<h2><font color="#486591">VLIW</font></h2>
VLIW architectures differ from superscalars in that
resource assignments are statically determined at compile time.
We distinguish between two different types of resources, namely
<font color="#ff0000">functional units</font> and <font color="#ff0000">data paths</font>.
The latter type is particularly
important for clustered architectures.
The following signature
is used to describe VLIW instructions:
<font color="#000000"><small><pre>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>signature</b></font> <a href="../../instructions/vliw-instructions.sig" target=code>VLIW_INSTRUCTIONS</a> =
<font color="#6060a0"><b><font color="#6060a0"><b>sig</b></font></b></font>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>include</b></font> INSTRUCTIONS
<font color="#6060a0"><b>structure</b></font> FU : <a href="../../instructions/funits.sig" target=code>FUNITS</a>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>structure</b></font> DP : <a href="../../instructions/datapaths.sig" target=code>DATAPATHS</a>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>end</b></font>
</pre></small></font>
The signature <tt>FUNITS</tt> is used to describe functional unit
resources, while the signature <tt>DATAPATHS</tt> is used to describe
data paths.
<p>
<a name="link0002"></a>
<h2><font color="#486591">Predicated VLIW</font></h2>
Finally, instructions sets for predicated VLIW/EPIC machines should match
the signature
<font color="#000000"><small><pre>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>signature</b></font> <a href="../../instructions/pred-vliw-instructions.sig" target=code>PREDICATED_VLIW_INSTRUCTIONS</a> =
<font color="#6060a0"><b><font color="#6060a0"><b>sig</b></font></b></font>
<font color="#6060a0"><b>include</b></font> VLIW_INSTRUCTIONS
<font color="#6060a0"><b>type</b></font> predicate
<font color="#6060a0"><b>end</b></font>
</pre></small></font>
