我使用以下逻辑来实现在以Verilog双峰预测器的2位饱和计数器和我也使用verilator如下：比较是恒定的，由于用Verilog无符号算术误差verilator
• For each branch, maintain a 2-bit saturating counter:
-if the branch is taken: counter = min(3,counter+1)
-if the branch is not taken: counter = max(0,counter-1)
• If (counter >= 2), predict taken, else predict not taken
module Bimodal(
input clk,
input reset,
input taken, //from ALU unit in execute stage
input branch, //from control unit in decode stage
input [31:0] instrAddr, // current address taken from fetch/decode stage
output reg predicted_taken_or_not);
reg [1:0] saturating_counter [0:1023];
integer i;
parameter max_val = 3 ;
parameter min_val = 0 ;
assign predicted_taken_or_not = saturating_counter[instrAddr[11:2]]>= 2'd2 && branch? 1'd1 : 1'd0;
// write ports to update the 2-bit saturating counter
always @(posedge clk) begin
if(reset) begin
for(int i=0; i<1024; i++) begin
saturating_counter[i] = 2'd1;
end
end
else if (taken) begin
if(max_val>saturating_counter[instrAddr[11:2]]+1)
saturating_counter[instrAddr[11:2]]<=saturating_counter[instrAddr[11:2]]+1;
else
saturating_counter[instrAddr[11:2]]<=max_val;
end
else if (~taken) begin
if(min_val>saturating_counter[instrAddr[11:2]]-1)
saturating_counter[instrAddr[11:2]]<=min_val;
else
saturating_counter[instrAddr[11:2]]<=saturating_counter[instrAddr[11:2]]-1;
end
end
endmodule
但我收到以下错误
%Warning-UNSIGNED: Bimodal.v:36: Comparison is constant due to unsigned arithmetic
%Warning-UNSIGNED: Use "/* verilator lint_off UNSIGNED */" and lint_on around source to disable this message.
%Error: Exiting due to 1 warning(s)
%Error: Command Failed /home/verilator-3.884/verilator_bin -O4 --cc MIPS.v --exe sim_main.cpp
有什么我做错了吗？
