Preliminary Design ReviewWODY Group

Class Project

Fall 2000

ECE 6276

Mission Statement

• To provide ISA for different profiles of a reconfigurable DSP and to assist and support other groups to perform tasks in a speedy and most efficient way

How WODY fits in the Big Picture

• To create ISA for different profiles of DSP

• To provide ISA to the Decoder group

• To assist algorithm and architecture group in testing the decoders and profiles

Overall Mission Plan

Task Estimated Dateof Completion

Regroup Modules into Profiles 11/3 (Done)

Create Mission Statement and Mission Plan 11/10 (Done)

Prepare for Preliminary Design Review 11/15 (Done)

Create ISA for Each Profile 11/18 (Ongoing)

Create Small Test Program in Assembly for Each Profile

11/19 (Ongoing)

Execute Signal Tests for Each Profile 11/24 (Ongoing)

Create and Maintain Website 11/29 (Ongoing)

Prepare for Critical Design Review 11/29

Mission Plan SpecificsCreate ISA for Each Profile

Milestones Preliminary ISA

Reservation tables for Profile 1, Profile 2,and Profile 3

Problems Syntax of ISA for use in WinTim•Solution: Modify ISA documentation

Machine Code Format•Solution: Modify Machine Code Format

Example: change order of register operands

Insight Work with Decoder group more closely in development of ISA

No benefit to parallel instructions on Profile 1and Profile 2

Tasks to be Completed Continue working with Decoder group until decoder done and make any changes to ISA that they recommend

Mission Plan SpecificsCreate Small Test Program in Assembly for Each Profile

Milestones Assembly code for test algorithm for Profile 1

Problems None

Insight Keeping track of registers can get really confusing

Tasks to be Completed Assembly code for test algorithm for Profile 2 and Profile 3

Mission Plan SpecificsExecute Signal Tests for Each Profile

Milestones Decoder and Data Path Integration for Profile 1 complete

Problems None

Insight None

Tasks to be Completed Testing
