FR-V

Table
FR500 Series MB93501
DESCRIPTION

FR-V series is the application specific VLIW processor, developed for computer peripherals, digital consumer products and communication devices. Those target markets include applications requiring advanced data and signal processing capabilities, power-and-space-saving features, and state-of-the-art SoC technologies. Compilers critically affect the VLIW processor performance. The FR-V compiler incorporates the expertise of VLIW and vector compilers of FUJITSU’s supercomputer. The highly optimized compiler ensures delivery of peak system performance.

FR-V Instruction Set

Because of the flexible architecture, it’s easy to design new processor cores with application-specific configuration. The FR-V architecture consists of several instruction sets. However, all the instruction sets need not be installed at one time. Only the required instruction sets are combined according to the application’s needs. This feature contrasts with ordinary microprocessor architectures. FR-V, Fujitsu’s Original VLIW Architecture Processor with Application-Specific Configurations.
