This paper introduces the microarchitecture of theGodson-2 processor which is a 64-bit, 4-issue, out-of-order execution RISC processor that implementsthe 64-bit MIPS-like instruction set. The adoption of the aggressive out-of-order executiontechniques (such as register mapping, branch prediction, and dynamic scheduling) and cachetechniques (such as non-blocking cache, load speculation, dynamic memory disambiguation) helps theGodson-2 processor to achieve high performance even at not so high frequency. The Godson-2 processorhas been physically implemented on a 6-metal 0.18 μm CMOS technology based on the automaticplacing and routing flow with the help of some crafted library cells and macros. The area of thechip is 6,700 micrometers by 6,200 micrometers and the clock cycle at typical corner is 2.3 ns.展开更多

The adoption of the aggressive out-of-order execution and memory hierarchy techniques help Godson-2E to achieve high performance. The Godson-2E processor has been physically designed in a 7-metal 90nm CMOS process using the cell-based methodology with some bitsliced manual placement and a number of crafted cells and macros. The processor can be run at 1GHz and achieves a SPEC CPU2000 rate higher than 500.展开更多
