Abstract

The parallel branching program machine (PBM128) consists of 128 branching program machines (BMs) and a programmable interconnection. To represent logic functions on BMs, we use quaternary decision diagrams. To evaluate functions, we use 3-address quaternary branch instructions. We emulated many benchmark circuits on PBM128, and compared its memory size and computation time with the Intel’s Core2Duo microprocessor. PBM128 requires approximately quarter of the memory for the Core2Duo, and is 21.4-96.1 times faster than the Core2Duo.KeywordsBenchmark FunctionBinary Decision DiagramCode SizeProgram CounterSequential CircuitThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
