The SH7615 processor's hybrid RISC DSP has an extended Harvard Architecture which simultaneously accesses two data and one address bus and also can sustain a multiply-accumulate function in a single-clock cycle.
But application developers who wish to use the extended registers, memory management, and new instructions, such as the combined a*b+c=d multiply-accumulate floating point instruction, will have to start porting.
During the course of the project, Forte implemented a floating-point multiply-accumulate algorithm to allow the design team to meet performance goals that required two-cycle floating-point multiply-accumulate operations at 266 MHz clock rate.
