Abstract(in English) We design and implement the instruction supply mechanism for Responsive Multithreaded Processing Unit (RMT PU), which is a processing unit of Responsive Multithreaded Processor for distributed real-time systems. In RMT PU, priority of a real-time system is used for solution to the competition of all functional units of the 8way Simultaneous Multithreading(SMT), and it performs SMT execution giving priority to high priority threads. By handling threads without context switching and increasing the utilization of a processor, the schedulability is improved rather than conventional systems. RMT PU can execute threads only by hardware, when the number of threads is less than or equal to 8 and static scheduling is used. Furthermore, in order to cope with more threads and dynamic scheduling, it has the on-chip context caches for 32 thread contexts, and the overhead of context switching is reduced sharply by switching context by hardware. According to these features, the real-time execution of both soft real-time and hard real-time is supported by hardware, and the real-time execution with a shorter quantum time can be achieved.
