Abstract

The TRIPS hardware prototype is the first instantiation of an ExplicitData Graph Execution (EDGE) architecture. Building the compiler,toolset, and system software for the prototype required supporting thesystem's unique dataflow construction, its banked register and memoryconfigurations, and its novel Instruction Set Architecture. Inparticular, the TRIPS ISA includes (i) a block atomic execution model,(ii) explicit mappings of instructions to execution units, and (iii)predicated instructions which may or may not fire, depending on theoutcome of preceding instructions. Our primary goal has been toconstruct tools to consume standard C and Fortran source code andgenerate binaries both for the TRIPS software simulators and hardwareprototype. A secondary goal has been to build the softwareinfrastructure on standard platforms using standard tools. Thesegoals have been met through a combination of off-the-shelf and customtools. We present a number of design issues and their resolution inenabling end users to exercise the prototype ISA using familiar toolsand programming interfaces. Finally, we offer download instructionsfor those who wish to test-drive the TRIPS tools.
