Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A 500-MHz on-chip multiprocessor architecture using leading edge VLSI technology is proposed for multimedia applications. A new bus control mechanism and a cache coherence protocol are introduced, which effectively reduce shared-bus congestion and external memory access. Simulation results of Radiosity show that the on-chip multiprocessor model operates about two times faster than a conventional on-board multiprocessor model using commercial microprocessors. With four processors on a chip, the shared-bus transaction overhead is reduced to 12% of the total execution time at 500MHz.
