Abstract:
To achieve energy reduction for instruction memory access in VLIW ASIPs, operation shuffling technique has been proposed. The shuffling technique changes assignment of an operation to different slot so that L0 cluster configuration can be improved. The published technique, however, moves operations within a cycle, not between cycles. As a result, the potential gain of energy reduction was limited. This paper proposes a shuffling technique that also moves operations between cycles as well as within a cycle. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves more efficient energy than the best known shuffling method by up to 15.3% in the best case.
