1 Optimizing Models of an FPGA Embedded System Adam Donlin Xilinx Research Labs September 24
2 Outline Target System Architecture Model Optimizations and Simulation Impact Port Datatypes Threads and Methods Port Access Reduce Scheduling Direct Instruction Memory Direct Data Memory Reduce Scheduling II Intercept Kernel Functions 2
3 Target System Third party Golden design and uclinux binary John Williams, University of Queensland, Australia Native C MicroBlaze ISS wrapped into a SystemC module Model s Host Machine Linux 2.4 Kernel 3 GHz Xeon Processor Negligible Load Console UART Debug UART Interrupt Controller Counter/Timer Ethernet MAC proxy General Purpose I/O O P B 32 Mb SDDR RAM 4Mb SRAM 32Mb FLASH MicroBlaze LMB 8 Kb BRAM 3
4 Initial Model Full target system model in SystemC Cycle Accurate Datatypes used: SystemC 4-value logic Boolean Kernel Boot Time RTL 1 mon 15 days 22 h w/o trace SystemC with trace: 5h 23min SystemC without trace: 2h 52min Cycles per second [Hz] VHDL w/o trace SystemC /w trace Kernel boot time [min] SystemC 4
5 Optimization 1: Native C-types SC_RV types are too heavy to use in simulation. Replace with Native C-types (int, char) much lighter to execute Easy remapping of port types: convenience macros accessor functions Tradeoff : Giving up ModelSim co-simulation Detection of multiple drivers/ uninitialized logic Kernel Boot time: 1h 14 min SystemC /w trace SystemC Native C datatypes 5
6 Optimization 2: Threads to Methods SC_METHOD is simpler process type than SC_THREAD Convert functionality currently modeled as SC_THREAD to SC_METHOD Tradeoff: Appx. 3 khz benefit But multi-cycle processes less elegant Kernel Boot time: 1h 12min SystemC /w trace SystemC Native C datatypes Thread -> Method 6
7 Optimization 3: Reduce Port Manipulation Manipulating ports can involve multiple levels of function call. Minimize the number of port object interactions Kernel Boot time: 1h 11 min Native C datatypes Thread -> Method Red. Port reading void thread1() { while(1) { if(x.read()==2) { z = x.read()+y.read(); } wait(); } } void thread1() { while(1) { uint localx = x.read(); if(localx == 2) { z = localx+y.read(); } wait(); 7
8 Optimization 4: Reduce Scheduling void method1() { while(1) { z = x+y; wait(); }} void method2() { while(1) { answer = 42; wait(); }} void combimethod() { funct1(); funct2(); } void funct1() { z = x+y; } void funct2() { answer = 42; } Technique 1: Combine multiple threads/methods in one container Tradeoff: can be applied only single-clock cycle processes 8
9 Optimization 4: Reduce Scheduling Native C datatypes Thread -> Method Technique 2: Multi-cycle scheduling delays for compatible threads Kernel Boot time: 1h 9 min Red. Port reading Red. Scheduling void UART_interface_method() { while(1) { do_uart(); // system calls // wait 1 clock cycles wait(1,sc_us); } } 9
10 Optimization 5: Instruction Memory Suppression Vast majority of memory activity is instruction fetches over the OPB MicroBlaze SystemC wrapper captures instruction fetches Provides instructions in a single cycle Console UART Debug UART Interrupt Controller O P B 32 Mb SDDR RAM 4Mb SRAM 32Mb FLASH MicroBlaze Memory Dispatcher Tradeoff: lose cycle accuracy Can be turned on and off at runtime Counter/Timer Ethernet MAC proxy General Purpose I/O LMB 8 Kb BRAM 1
11 Optimization 5: Instruction Memory Suppression Native C datatypes Thread -> Method Red. Port reading Red. Scheduling Red. Inst mem Main speedup: less cycles per instruction Kernel Boot time: 24 min 33 sec 11
12 Optimization 6: Data Memory Suppression Native C datatypes Thread -> Method Red. Port reading Red. Scheduling Red. Inst. Mem. Red. Data Mem. Previous optimization applied also to data bus transactions Kernel Boot time: 14 min 17 sec 12
13 Optimization 7: Reduced Bus/Slave Scheduling Many peripherals are used infrequently Flash, GPIO, Ethernet However, OPB slave interface decodes OPB bus every clock cycle Schedule only when required Kernel Boot time: 12 min 4s Native C datatypes Thread -> Method Red. Port reading Red. Scheduling Red.Inst mem Red. Main mem Red. Bus Scheduling 13
14 Optimization 8: Intercept Kernel Function Calls Kernel boot profile: 52% execution in two libc functions: memset and memcpy Tradeoff: application specific benefit, requires careful programming, lose ISS instruction count accuracy Can be turned on and off at runtime ISS Wrapper Intercepts and Implements with Native Functions: Detects jump to a function Reads function parameters from MB registers Executes function in native C Writes MB registers to values in normal execution Make loop guard always true 14
15 Optimization 8: Kernel Function Capture Red Inst. Mem Red. Data. Mem Red. Bus Scheduling Kernel funct capture Cycle time is lower, but execution time faster due to skipped instructions Kernel boot time: 5 min 56 sec 15
16 The Whole Sequence VHDL w/o trace SystemC /w trace SystemC Native C datatypes Thread -> Method Red. Port reading Red. Scheduling Red. Inst. Mem Red. Data Mem Red. Bus Scheduling Kernel funct capture RTL Boot Time: ~1.5 Months Initial SystemC Boot Time: ~5.5 Hours Final Boot Time: ~6 Minutes Simulation rate: ~3kHz to 28 khz 16
