Zusammenfassung:Abstract: "This paper describes the design of processor element architecture for the parallel inference machine prototype, PIM/p. Several innovative features are incorporated in the processor architecture to suit concurrent logic programming languages such as KL1. The processor's design is based on tagged architecture. With the variety of tag handling operations, instructions can be executed by one cycle pitch pipeline. Macro-call instructions are introduced to enable a lightweight subroutine call function for polymorphic operations required in execution of high level languages such as logic programming languages. This enables system designers to easily define high level instructions without losing the benefits of the pipelining mechanism
Dedicated instructions are introduced to support incremental garbage collection. Local coherent cache and optimized memory operations tailored to the memory access characteristics of KL1 can reduce common bus traffic in shared memory multiprocessors. In this paper, we describe the design decisions for these architecture features. The LSIs are now being fabricated using CMOS standard cell technology.
