The BCM1255 is a chip multiprocessor (CMP) system consisting of two Broadcom SB-1 high-performance MIPS64 CPUs, a shared 512-KB L2 cache, a DDR memory controller, and integrated I/O. All major blocks of the processor are connected together via the ZBbus, a high-speed, split-transaction multiprocessor bus. The bus implements the standard MESI protocol to ensure coherency between the two CPUs, L2 cache, I/O agents, and memory. Four Gigabit-Ethernet MACs (10/100/1000) enable easy interfacing to LANs or control backplanes. To enable higher data rates (or in cases where Ethernet protocol processing is not required), the Gigabit-Ethernet MACs can be configured as 8-bit and/or 16-bit packet FIFOs. The BCM1255 also integrates a 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X local bus for direct connection to I/O devices. Four serial ports are available for use as UARTs for console ports. To enable low-chip count systems, the BCM1255 also includes a configurable generic bus that allows glueless connection of a boot ROM or flash memory and simple I/O peripherals. On-chip debug, trace, and performance monitoring functions assist both hardware and software designers in debugging and tuning the system. The system can be run in either big-endian or little-endian mode. Implementation of MIPS64 ISA The SB-1 CPU core is a high-performance implementation of the standard MIPS64 ISA that incorporates the MIPS-3D and MIPS-MDMX application-specific extensions (ASEs). The core supports a 4-issue enhanced skew pipeline and can dispatch up to two memory and two ALU (integer, floating point, MDMX, or MIPS-3D) instructions per cycle.
