Abstract

This work describes the implementation of arithmetic pipeline scheduling algorithms, to enhance an existing simulation package. The user need only specify the arithmetic equations to be processed and the required stage configuration. The program automatically performs the tasks of forming the reservation table, building the pipeline and specifying the input/output connectivity for each segment and multiplexer in the pipeline. This package integrates two existing simulation tools and enhances many aspects of the previous programs.

The main application area for such a tool is education. Since it is very easy to use and requires little or no time for one to get used to it, APAP II can be used to illustrate the basic concepts of arithmetic pipelines.
