CSE431 L01 Introduction.4Irwin, PSU, 2005 Course Content Content l Principles of computer architecture: CPU datapath and control unit design (single-issue pipelined, superscalar, VLIW), memory hierarchies and design, I/O organization and design, advanced processor design (multiprocessors and SMT) Course goals l To learn the organizational paradigms that determine the capabilities and performance of computer systems. To understand the interactions between the computer’s architecture and its software so that future software designers (compiler writers, operating system designers, database programmers, …) can achieve the best cost-performance trade-offs and so that future architects understand the effects of their design choices on software applications. Course prerequisites l CSE 331. Computer Organization and Design

CSE431 L01 Introduction.10Irwin, PSU, 2005 By the architecture of a system, I mean the complete and detailed specification of the user interface. … As Blaauw has said, “Where architecture tells what happens, implementation tells how it is made to happen.” The Mythical Man-Month, Brooks, pg 45

CSE431 L01 Introduction.11Irwin, PSU, 2005 Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) ISA: An abstract interface between the hardware and the lowest level software of a machine that encompasses all the information necessary to write a machine language program that will run correctly, including instructions, registers, memory access, I/O, and so on. “... the attributes of a [computing] system as seen by the programmer, i.e., the conceptual structure and functional behavior, as distinct from the organization of the data flows and controls, the logic design, and the physical implementation.” – Amdahl, Blaauw, and Brooks, 1964 l Enables implementations of varying cost and performance to run identical software ABI (application binary interface): The user portion of the instruction set plus the operating system interfaces used by application programmers. Defines a standard for binary portability across computers.

CSE431 L01 Introduction.13Irwin, PSU, 2005 Moore’s Law In 1965, Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors that can be integrated on a die would double every 18 to 24 months (i.e., grow exponentially with time). Amazingly visionary – million transistor/chip barrier was crossed in the 1980’s. l 2300 transistors, 1 MHz clock (Intel 4004) - 1971 l 16 Million transistors (Ultra Sparc III) l 42 Million transistors, 2 GHz clock (Intel Xeon) – 2001 l 55 Million transistors, 3 GHz, 130nm technology, 250mm 2 die (Intel Pentium 4) - 2004 l 140 Million transistor (HP PA-8500)
