Hybrid Continuous-Discrete Computer: from ISA to Microarchitecture

Huang, Yipeng; Sethumadhavan, Simha

In this project, we design an instruction set architecture for a proposed hybrid continuous-discrete computer (HCDC) chip. The ISA harnesses the microarchitectural features and analog circuitry provided in the hardware. We describe the workloads that are suitable for the HCDC architecture. The underlying microarchitecture for the HCDC chip, including its controllers, datapaths, and interfaces to analog and digital functional units are specified in detail.
