The computer nicknamed the PENTAGON is an MIMD system containing a number of identical processing elements (PE's) linked via interfaces. The network is a 3-D torus, and the nodes are based on off-the-shelf signal processor chips, namely TMS 320C40's from TI. The design adds to these standard ingredients an engineering discipline to keep things as simple as possible, and a corresponding, quite unusual physical setup of the total system. These make up for a very cost effective system showing how simple it may be to build a powerful parallel machine.</p><p>Although based on a standard architecture, the PENTAGON design takes some special choices, the most important being the complete distribution of I/O capabilities. This provides for an unlimited I/O bandwidth, the support of realtime applications and excellent capabilities of expansion. A graphics interface has been designed to provide direct realtime output from the DSP's. Another recent extension is a set of Power-PC modules on top of the DSP nodes.</p><p>Besides standard commercial compilers for 'C40 networks, the functional language Fifth of the author has been implemented on the PENTAGON. Fifth provides facilities such as distributed objects and the automatical distribution of parallel programs. For well parallelizable applications such as the calculation of a Mandelbrot set, high efficiencies in the usage of the processors have been obtained.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100927,"journal":{"name":"Microprocessing and Microprogramming","volume":"41 4","pages":"Pages 301-314"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0165-6074(95)00013-E","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126150656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since software-managed TLBs provide flexibility to an operating system in page translation, they are considered an important factor in the design of microprocessors for open system environments. However, software-managed TLBs suffer from larger miss penalty than hardware-managed TLBs, since they require more extra context switching overhead than hardware-managed TLBs.</p><p>This paper introduces a new technique for reducing the miss penalty of software-managed TLBs by prefetching necessary TLB entries before being used. This technique is not inherently limited to specific applications. The key of this scheme is to perform the prefetch operations to update the TLB entries before first accesses so that TLB misses can be avoided. Using trace-driven simulation and a quantitative analysis, the proposed scheme is evaluated in terms of the miss rate and the total miss penalty. Our results show that the proposed scheme reduces the TLB miss rate by a factor of 6% to 77% due to TLB characteristics and page sizes. In addition, it is found that reducing the miss rate by the prefetching scheme reduces the total miss penalty and bus traffics in software-managed TLBs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100927,"journal":{"name":"Microprocessing and Microprogramming","volume":"41 2","pages":"Pages 121-136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0165-6074(95)00003-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124116989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
