[Q] What are the features of SHARC architecture? - skim19750511 - Apr 28 0:03:00 2004



Hello every members :)

What are the features of SHARC architecture comparing with the
Harvard architecture ?

SHARC architecture is a modified Harvard architecture ?

Yes, SHARC is an acronym for super-harvard-architcture. I guess the
super refers to the instruction cache, which allows using the two
busses for simultaneous double data access.

Right, but you have to set things up so you get data from program memory
while the program is in cache. Great for filter loops.

The Mot chips have a triple bus, 2 data and 1 instruction. The dual
core SHARC's have 64 bit wide data buses so each core gets 32 at a time.
But it's single instruction, so it's great for real,imaginary computations
and stereo filters. But to take full advantage of it, your data buffers
must be split between program space and data space, and your loop has
to fit into cache (32 instructions).

when a Program read conflicted with a PM data read? So your loop can be longer
than 32 instructions, but if you have more than 32 reads from PM data, you'll
start getting cache misses.

Or am I out of date?

how to interface MATLAB and EZ-KIT LITE board with ADSP-21061processor - Uday Kumar Majeti - Apr 28 17:04:00 2004

Hello everybody,
 
  I have developed source code for FIR filter using Windowing technique for my SHARC processor (ADSP-21061). It's working fine.
 
In MATLAB i have developed one GUI (Graphical User Interface) in which i enter all the parameters (filter specifications) needed for the development of FIR filter and i got the filter coefficients. I'm able to place
these coefficients in the coefficient.dat source file of my SHARC processor.
 
Question: 1.   I want to implement the following task.
                If i create a RUN button in my GUI and when i click that button, it should down load the (.21k file) into the SHARC processor memory.
                 2.   Is there any tool in MATLAB to get interfaced with ADSP-21061 processor?
 
 If any body have any idea of how to do this plz help me. Any suggestions regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
 
 
                                 ;               &nbs p;               &nb sp;               regards,
                                 ;               &nbs p;               &nb sp;              uday majeti.

Nope, I think you are correct. Every loop I've written conflicts on
each instruction, and 32 has been way more than enough. But if only 1
in 10 instructions has a problem, you can have a much bigger loop.

Thanks for pointing that out!

let you communicate with external stuff via serial
(COM) ports. You could download the coefficients to a
buffer in memory, from where you update your filter.
