Summary :

A MIPS-architecture-based embedded out-of-order superscalar microprocessor targeting broadband applications has been developed. Aggressive microarchitectures, such as superpipelining and out-of-order execution, have been applied to realize better performance scalability in order to fit with next-generation broadband applications. The chip includes a 32 K-Byte instruction cache, a 32 K-Byte data cache, 6 independent execution units, and has been designed using an ASIC-style design methodology on a 0.13-µm CMOS 5-layer aluminum technology. It can operate up to 500 MHz and achieves 1005 MIPS (Dhrystone 2.1) at 500-MHz operation.
