PRISM-II Compiler and Architecture

چکیده
This paper discusses the architecture and compiler for a general-purpose metamorphic computing platform called PRISM-II. PRISM-II improves the performance of many computationally-intensive tasks by augmenting the functionality of the core processor with new instructions that match the characteristics of targeted applications. In essence, PRISM is a general purpose hardware platform that behaves like an application-speciic platform. Two methods for hardware synthesis, one using the VHDL Designer and the other using X-BLOX, are presented and synthesis results are compared.

Processor Reconnguration through Instruction Set Metamorphosis: Compiler and Architecture
Many computationally-intensive tasks spend nearly all of their execution time within a small fraction of the executable code. A new hardware/software system, called PRISM, is presented which improves the performance of many of these computationally intensive tasks by utilizing information extracted at compile-time to synthesize new operations which augment the functionality of a core processor....
متن کاملCompiler Integrated Multiprocessor Simulation
The Prism simulation system models the interaction of application, system and architectural structures for shared memory multiprocessors and distributed memory multicomputers. The simulation is achieved using two major components, a compiler and a library of processor and architecture modeling routines. The compiler processes application and system code written in a high level language and link...
متن کاملImplementing Stochastically-Timed COWS for the Prism Probabilistic Model Checker
This thesispresents the implementationof theCOWS2Prism system, a compiler for stochastic COWS (Calculus for Orchestration of Web Services) into Prism. The process calculus COWS is intended to aid in the precise description of Web Services compositions. This places the present informal development approach associated with Web Services into a formal reasoning framework. The COWS calculus concerns...
متن کاملPRISM: A Video Coding Architecture Based on Distributed Compression Principles
We introduce PRISM (Power-efficient, Robust, hIgh-compression, Syndrome-based Multimedia coding), a video coding paradigm underpinned by the principles of distributed source coding from multi-user information theory. PRISM, which rests heavily on channel coding concepts, represents a radical departure from current state-of-the-art video coding architectures, including those driving popular stan...
متن کاملAdaptable Architectural Middleware for Programming-in-the-Small-and-Many
A recent emergence of small, resource-constrained, and highlymobile computing platforms presents numerous new challenges for software developers. We refer to development in this new setting as programming-in-thesmall-and-many (Prism). This paper provides a description and evaluation of a middleware intended to support software architecture-based development in the Prism setting. The middleware,...
