proprietary and confidential to pmc-sierra, inc and for its customer ? s internal use 12 document id: pmc-2002175, issue 1 rm7000 ? microprocessor with on-chip secondary cache datasheet released 4 hardware overview the rm7000 offers a high-level of integration targeted at high-performance embedded applications. the key elements of the rm7000 are briefly described below. 4.1 cpu registers like all mips isa processors, the rm7000 cpu has a simple, clean user visible state consisting of 32 general purpose registers (gpr), two special purpose registers for integer multiplication and division, and a program counter; there are no condition code bits. figure 2 shows the user visible state. figure 2 cp0 registers 4.2 superscalar dispatch the rm7000 has an efficient symmetric superscalar dispatch unit which allows it to issue up to two instructions per cycle. for purposes of instruction issue, the rm7000 defines four classes of instructions: integer, load/store, branches, and floating-point. there are two logical pipelines, the function , or f, pipeline and the memory , or m, pipeline. note however that the m pipe can execute integer as well as memory type instructions. table 1 instruction issue rules figure 3 is a simplification of the pipeline section and illustrates the basics of the instruction issue mechanism. general purpose registers 63 0 multiply/divide registers 0630 r1 hi r2 63 0  lo   program counter  63 0 r29 pc r30 r31 f pipe m pipe one of: one of: integer, branch, floating-point, integer mul, div integer, load/store

(write-back with secondary and tertiary bypass) loads and instruction fetches first search the primary cache, reading from memory only if the desired data is not resident; the secondary and tertiary are not searched. on data store operations, the primary cache is first searched to determine if the target address is resident. if it is resident, the cache contents are updated, and the cache line marked for later write-back. if the cache lookup misses, the target line is first brought into the cache and then the write is performed as above. associated with the data cache is the store buffer . when the rm7000 executes a store instruction, this single-entry buffer gets written with the store data while the tag comparison is performed. if the tag matches, then the data is written into the data cache in the next cycle that the data cache is not accessed (the next non-load cycle). the store buffer allows the rm7000 to execute a store every processor cycle and to perform back-to-back stores without penalty. in the event of a store immediately followed by a load to the same address, a combined merge and cache write will occur such that no penalty is incurred. 4.19 secondary cache the rm7000 has an integrated 256 kb, four-way set associative, block write-back secondary cache. the secondary has the same line size as the primaries, 32 bytes, is logically 64-bits wide matching the system interface and primary widths, and is protected with doubleword parity. the secondary tag array holds a 20-bit physical address, two housekeeping bits, a three bit cache state field, and two parity bits. by integrating a secondary cache, the rm7000 is able to dramatically decrease the latency of a primary cache miss without dramatically increasing the number of pins and the amount of power required by the processor. from a technology point of view, integrating a secondary cache maximally leverages cmos semiconductor technology by using silicon to build the structures that are most amenable to silicon technology; silicon is being used to build very dense, low power memory arrays rather than large power hungry i/o buffers. further benefits of an integrated secondary are flexibility in the cache organization and management policies that are not practical with an external cache. two previously mentioned examples are the 4-way associativity and write-back cache protocol. a third management policy for which integration affords flexibility is cache hierarchy management. with multiple levels of cache, it is necessary to specify a policy for dealing with cases where two cache lines at level n of the hierarchy would, if possible, be sharing an entry in level n+1 of the hierarchy. the policy followed by the rm7000 is motivated by the desire to get maximum cache utility and results in the rm7000 allowing entries in the primaries which do not necessarily have a corresponding entry in the secondary; the rm7000 does not force the primaries to be a subset of the secondary. for example, if primary cache line a is being filled and a cache line already exists in the secondary for primary cache line b at the location where primary a ? s line would reside then that secondary entry will be replaced by an entry corresponding to primary cache line a and no action will occur in the primary for cache line b. this operation will create the aforementioned scenario where the primary cache line which initially had a corresponding
