Chapter 2 - Overview The XP-15 is a high-performance vector processor implemented on a single card suitable for installing in a PCI Local Bus card slot in a general-purpose computer. The XP-15 is based on the 8 GFLOPS TM-44 DSP chip from Texas Memory Systems and includes four 32 MB banks of fast local memory. The XP-15 is programmed by making calls to move data from host memory to XP-15 local memory, to perform one or more vector processing operations on the data, and to move results ba

Chapter 4 - X-Midas Programming Example: XTMIC This chapter describes the X-Midas programming example, how to execute it, and how to use it as a template for XP-15 applications. The source code is located on the XP-15 software CDROM in the examples/xtmic/ directory. 4.1 Overview The X-Midas programming example is a less robust version of the SAMTMIC software that currently runs on the SAM-450. The XP-15 implementation, referred to as the XTMIC, performs the same basic processing as

The XTMIC macro requires two command line parameters that determine which files the XTMIC will use for its processing. The input files must contain 16-bit integer data, and must have at least 1507328 elements. Assuming the input files are called input_a and input_b, the command line required to run the XTMIC would look like: % X-Midas> run_x input_a input_b XTMIC> Starting xtmic demo. XTMIC> Setting up files/pipes. XTMIC> Initializing XP15 buffers. XTMIC> Entering loop. Total i

Appendix B – PCI Local Bus Specifications The XP-15 interface adapter is a 3.3V signaling environment expansion card, as defined by the PCI Local Bus Specification 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2. This means that the XP-15 is designed to operate exclusively in 3.3V signaling environment system motherboards. During the development of the XP-15, the liberty was taken to add a second key slot on the PCI edge connector. This allows for operation and testing in most 5V signaling environment motherbo

Appendix C – XP-15 Hardware Control and Status Registers The XP-15 is a custom hardware adapter designed to provide processing power to a host computer (DEC Alpha, Intel PC, etc..). The XP-15's data bus is 32-bits or 64-bits wide (depending on the host PCI slot). The following tables describe the XP-15's hardware control registers. Each register is classified as read only, write only, or read/write. The least significant bit of each register is always tied to the least significa
