Graphic processor TLM model image output method based on SystemC

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of computer hardware modeling, and especially relates to a graphic processor transaction level TLM model image output method based on SystemC. The graphicprocessor TLM model image output method comprises the steps of judging the type of a color buffer area, reading a corresponding color buffer area, converting a pixel arrangement mode, converting a pixel color component arrangement mode, creating an image file, writing converted color data into the file, comparing the converted color data with an output image and the like. The problem of quickly verifying the correctness of the GPU hardware model through picture display is solved, the design, development and verification of the GPU model are effectively facilitated, and powerful support is provided for RTL design, development and verification.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer hardware modeling, in particular to a system C-based graphic processor TLM model image output method. Background technique [0002] At present, my country is independently developing domestically produced graphics processor chips (Graphic Processing Unit, GPU). However, since domestically imported commercial or military GPU chips have been used in China before, there is a lack of design experience in GPU independent development. At the stage of technology exploration and development, at the same time, the scale of GPU chip hardware logic is huge. From the writing of system architecture documents to the realization of rtl design, this will be a long project, and even after the completion of rtl design, the verification of functional performance will require A lot of time, therefore, in order to improve the progress and reliability of self-developed graphics processor projects, there is an urgent nee...

[0002] At present, my country is independently developing domestically produced graphics processor chips (Graphic Processing Unit, GPU). However, since domestically imported commercial or military GPU chips have been used in China before, there is a lack of design experience in GPU independent development. At the stage of technology exploration and development, at the same time, the scale of GPU chip hardware logic is huge. From the writing of system architecture documents to the realization of rtl design, this will be a long project, and even after the completion of rtl design, the verification of functional performance will require A large amount of time, therefore, in order to improve the progress and reliability of self-developed graphics processor projects, there is an urgent need for a university method that can shorten the entire design cycle and assist the design process of graphics processors. This method is (TransactionLevelModeling, TLM ) transaction level modeling
