6 Single Cycle Processor Advantages Single Cycle per instruction make logic and clock simple Disadvantages Since instructions take different time to finish, memory and functional unit are not efficiently utilized. Cycle time is the longest delay. –Load instruction Best possible CPI is 1

9 Basic Pipeline Five stage “RISC” load-store architecture 1.Instruction fetch (IF) –get instruction from memory, increment PC 2.Instruction Decode (ID) –translate opcode into control signals and read registers 3.Execute (EX) –perform ALU operation, compute jump/branch targets 4.Memory (MEM) –access memory if needed 5.Writeback (WB) –update register file Slides thanks to Sally McKee & Kavita Bala

10 Pipelined Implementation Break instructions across multiple clock cycles (five, in this case) Design a separate stage for the execution performed during each clock cycle Add pipeline registers to isolate signals between different stages

12 IF Stage 1: Instruction Fetch Fetch a new instruction every cycle Current PC is index to instruction memory Increment the PC at end of cycle (assume no branches for now) Write values of interest to pipeline register (IF/ID) Instruction bits (for later decoding) PC+4 (for later computing branch targets)

26 Pipelining Recap Powerful technique for masking latencies Logically, instructions execute one at a time Physically, instructions execute in parallel –Instruction level parallelism Abstraction promotes decoupling Interface (ISA) vs. implementation (Pipeline)
