ACT: A Low Power VLIW Cluster Coprocessor for DSP Applications

Overview The ACT (Adaptive Cellular Telephony) coprocessor architecture is described and analyzed using a set of widely used DSP algorithms. Performance and power are compared to equivalent implementations on ASIC and embedded processor platforms. Flexibility is achieved by fine-grain program control of communication and execution resources. Compression techniques, simple addressing modes for large single-ported distributed register files, and configurable address generation units provide performance and energy efficiency. An energy-delay reduction of two to three orders of magnitude is achieved when compared to a conventional embedded processor such as the Intel XScale.
