Scheduler Design Specifications
FPGA Frequency Estimate (synplify_pro): 147 MHz FPGA Area Estimate (synplify_pro): 14,357 LUTs
ASIC Frequency Estimate (dc_shell): 1.3 GHz
The Scheduler of SCOORE is responsible for keeping track of RAW (or true) dependencies between instructions. It is 3 stages and corresponds to stage WK1...n of the SCOORE pipeline on the Main Page. The structures that make up the long-latency Scheduler are:
1. 64-entry instruction window 2. 512 bit vector for register status 3. 64-entry dependence table 4. 64 bit vector for select
Details of these structures and how they are organized in the pipeline are given below.
Scheduler Interface
CLK and RESET are global inputs to the Scheduler
Inputs from RAT/ROB:
-clear -4 instructions
Inputs from Compute Engine:
- NOTE: Compute Engine prodvides all needed information in Cunit_DoneType and MunitDoneType
-cunit_done -cunit_pdest -cunit_fault
-munit_done -munit_pdest -munit_fault
Inputs from Scoreboard
-busy
Outputs to RAT/ROB
-busy - scheduler instruction window is full
Outputs to Scoreboard
-up to 6 instructions/cycle
