• SPLOOP - A small instruction buffer in the CPU that aids in creation of software pipelining loops where

multiple iterations of a loop are executed in parallel. The SPLOOP buffer reduces the code size

associated with software pipelining. Furthermore, loops in the SPLOOP buffer are fully interruptible.

• Compact Instructions - The native instruction size for the C6000 devices is 32 bits. Many common

instructions such as MPY, AND, OR, ADD, and SUB can be expressed as 16 bits if the C64x+

compiler can restrict the code to use certain registers in the register file. This compression is

performed by the code generation tools.

• Instruction Set Enhancement - As noted above, there are new instructions such as 32-bit

multiplications, complex multiplications, packing, sorting, bit manipulation, and 32-bit Galois field

multiplication.

• Exceptions Handling - Intended to aid the programmer in isolating bugs. The C64x+ CPU is able to

detect and respond to exceptions, both from internally detected sources (such as illegal op-codes) and

from system events (such as a watchdog time expiration).

• Privilege - Defines user and supervisor modes of operation, allowing the operating system to give a

basic level of protection to sensitive resources. Local memory is divided into multiple pages, each with

read, write, and execute permissions.

• Time-Stamp Counter - Primarily targeted for Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) robustness, a

free-running time-stamp counter is implemented in the CPU which is not sensitive to system stalls.
