Summary:In this paper, we designed a SIMT architecture-based stream processor for parallel processing in the mobile environment. The designed processor is a superscalar architecture and can issue up to four instructions. Considering the limited resources of the mobile environment, this processor was consisted of 16 stream processors (SPs). To verify the operation of the designed processor, a functional level simulation was conducted with the Modelsim SE 10.0b simulator. We synthesized on Virtex-7 FPGA as the target with the Xilinx ISE 14.7 tool and the results analyzed. The performance of the designed processor was 150M Triangles/Sec, 4.8 GFLOPS at 100 MHz. When the performance was compared with that of conventional processors, the proposed architecture of the processor attested to be effective in processing 3D graphics and parallel general-purpose computing in the mobile environment.
