  • High-Speed Soft-Processor Architecture for FPGA Overlays
    High-Speed Soft-Processor Architecture for FPGA Overlays by Charles Eric LaForest A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto c Copyright 2015 by Charles Eric LaForest Abstract High-Speed Soft-Processor Architecture for FPGA Overlays Charles Eric LaForest Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2015 Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) provide an easier path than Application- Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for implementing computing systems, and generally yield higher performance and lower power than optimized software running on high- end CPUs. However, designing hardware with FPGAs remains a difficult and time- consuming process, requiring specialized skills and hours-long CAD processing times. An easier design process abstracts away the FPGA via an \overlay architecture", which implements a computing platform upon which we construct the desired system. Soft- processors represent the base case of overlays, allowing easy software-driven design, but at a large cost in performance and area. This thesis addresses the performance limitations of FPGA soft-processors, as building blocks for overlay architectures. We first aim to maximize the usage of FPGA structures by designing Octavo, a strict round-robin multi-threaded soft-processor architecture tailored to the underlying FPGA and capable of operating at maximal speed. We then scale Octavo to SIMD and MIMD parallelism by replicating its datapath and connecting Octavo cores in a point-to-point mesh. This scaling creates multi-local logic, which we preserve via logical partitioning to avoid artificial critial paths introduced by unnecessary CAD optimizations.

Hillsboro, Oregon 97124 USA Telephone: (503) 268-8000 www.latticesemi.com 1 Open and Easy Microprocessor Designs Using the LatticeMico32 A Lattice Semiconductor White Paper Embedded Microprocessor Trends and Challenges The last few years have witnessed a growing trend to use embedded microprocessors in FPGA designs. Figure 1 illustrates this trend. 120,000 Without Embedded µP 100,000 With Embedded µP 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 Number ofDesign FPGA/PLD Starts 0 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Figure 1 – FPGA Design Starts With Embedded µµµP Source: Gartner, August 9, 2005 As illustrated in the graph, this trend is not showing any signs of slowing down. Three important benefits of the embedded microprocessor approach are driving this trend. The first is that a soft processor provides the preferred way to implement control-plane functionality in an FPGA while leaving the datapath functionality to the programmable hardware. Control plane functionality that can be implemented in software rather than hardware allows the designer much greater freedom to make changes. Also, many control plane functions are just too difficult to reasonably implement in hardware. The second benefit is that, with software-based processing, it is possible for the hardware logic to remain stable because functional upgrades can be made through software modification. The third benefit is that FPGA embedded soft processors will not become obsolete. One of the risks that any user faces when designing with an off-the-shelf microprocessor is obsolescence.

In a large number of applications; soft-core processors play a vital role due to their ease of usage. Soft-core processors are more advantageous than their hard-core counterparts due to their reduced cost, flexibility, platform independence and greater immunity to obsolescence. This paper presents a survey of a considerable number of soft core processors available from the open-source communities. Some real world applications of these soft-core processors are also discussed followed by the comparison of their several features and characteristics. The increasing popularity of these soft-core processors will inevitably lead to more widespread usage in embedded system design. This is due to the number of significant advantages that soft-core processors hold over their hard-core counterparts. Keywords: Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), open- source, soft-core processors. I. INTRODUCTION Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) has grown in capacity and performance, and is now one of the main implementation fabrics for designs, particularly where the products do not demand for custom integrated circuits. And in recent past due to the increased capacity and falling cost of the FPGA’s relatively fast and high density devices are today becoming available to the general public.
