摘要
为手持式三维图形系统的可编程着色器开发了一种低功耗、面积高效的4路32位统一矢量和超越功能单元。算法核心采用对数系统(LNS),实现了各种矢量和超越函数的小体积、低功耗统一和单周期吞吐量,最大4周期时延。提出了一种新的对数转换方案,最大转换误差为0.41%。采用0.18 μ m CMOS技术和91 K栅极实现了测试芯片。它的工作频率为210兆赫,功耗为15兆瓦,电压为1.8伏。
A 210MHz 15mW Unified Vector and Transcendental Function Unit for Handield 3-D Graphics Systems
A low-power, area-efficient 4-way 32-bit unified vector and transcendental function unit has been developed for programmable shaders for handheld 3-D graphics systems. It adopts the logarithmic number system (LNS) at the arithmetic core for the small-size, low-power unification and single cycle throughput with maximum 4-cycle latency of various vector and transcendental functions. A novel logarithmic conversion scheme is proposed with 0.41% of maximum conversion error. A test chip is implemented by 0.18-mum CMOS technology with 91 K gates. It operates at 210 MHz and consumes 15 mW at 1.8 V.
