Muli-Issue Multi-Threaded Stream Processor

The MISP Processor is a programmable media processor which supports multi-issuing, multi-threading and stream processing techniques. MISP executes applications that have been mapped to the stream programming model. The stream model decomposes applications into a set of computation kernels that operate on data streams. This mapping exposes the inherent locality and parallelisms in media applications. MISP exploits thread level (TLP), data level (DLP), sub-word (SP) and instruction level (ILP) parallelisms inherent in media applications. Full simulator of MISP has been implemented and several media workloads composed of EEMBC benchmarks have been applied [1]. Also we applied test programs on Imagine stream processor [2]. The simulation results show MISP gains IPC of
