Tera-Op Reliable Intelligently Adaptive Processing System (TRIPS)
Abstract
The TRIPS project proposes and evaluates technology for scalable and adaptive computer systems. The TRIPS processor and on-chip memory architectures are designed to handle both the increasing wire delays and power constraints of near-future integrated circuit fabrication technology. Combined with the new TRIPS compiler, the results of detailed architectural models show that the TRIPS system can achieve performance improvements by up to an order of magnitude over that of conventional architectures (at comparable clock rates) on applications ranging from signal processing to threaded server workloads. TRIPS innovations also include low-power circuits, such as latches and digital phase-locked loops, that will be required for future high-performance polymorphous chips such as TRIPS. Static power analysis tools were also developed to better estimate and balance power consumption in multiple modes of operation. The results of the proof-of-concept phase of TRIPS have shown substantial scientific promise, justifying
