Abstract:
In this paper, a novel ultra-fast multi-objective optimization algorithm for VLIW architecture design space exploration has been proposed. This method which is based on design space pruning, is applicable to any architecture objectives such as the number of issue widths, ALUs, the number of register file clusters and etc. Proposed method could be utilized for optimizing the configuration to meet various constraints of the design. Having defined several distinct objectives in this study, our heuristic method is deployed to optimize the design in terms of performance and cost. Implementation of the algorithm for three sample applications has resulted in substantial speed improvement (over 35000 times more) and negligible error (up to 3.5%).
