1 Today’s agenda Hardware architecture and runtime system
Additional slides Module-3 Lab1 will be released soon System calls: create(),resume(),kill(), wait(), signal(), sleep(), sleepms(), … Read Chapter 1-2 Producer-consumer sample in chapter 2 CS354-Fall2018

2 CS250 in 15 minutes CS354-Fall2018

3 Processors Each CPU has a specific set of instructions
All CPUs contain General registers inside to hold key variables and temporary results Special registers visible to the programmer Program counter contains the memory address of the next instruction to be fetched Stack pointer points to the top of the current stack in memory Control registers (e.g., CR0-CR4 in x86) PSW (Program Status Word) contains the condition code bits which are set by comparison instructions, the CPU priority, the mode (user or kernel) and various other control bits. CS354-Fall2018

4 How Processors Work Execute instructions CPU cycles Two modes of CPU
Fetch (from mem)  decode  execute Program counter (PC) When is PC changed? Pipeline: fetch n+2 while decode n+1 while execute n Two modes of CPU User mode (a subset of instructions) Privileged mode (all instruction) Trap (special instruction) CS354-Fall2018

5 Memory Access Memory read: How many mem access for one instruction?
Assert address on address lines Wait till data appear on data line Much slower than CPU! How many mem access for one instruction? Fetch instruction Fetch operand (0, 1 or 2) Write results (0 or 1) How to speed up instruction execution? CS354-Fall2018

6 Memory-Storage Hierarchy
< - 4MB -1GB -TB -TB CS354-Fall2018

7 Memory Registers internal to CPU (as fast as CPU)
Storage 32x32 bits on a 32-bit CPU, 64x64 on 64 bit CPU (less than 1KB in both cases) Cache memory controlled by hardware Cache hit and miss RAM (Random Access Memory) Disk (magnetic disk), CD-ROM, DVD,… Cylinder, track, … Non-volatile Memory ROM (Read Only Memory) Programmed at the factory and can’t be changed EEPROM (Electrically Erasable ROM) Flash RAM Can be erased and re-written Volatile Memory CMOS holds current time and date

8 CPU Cache Cache hit: Cache miss: no need to access memory
data obtained from mem, possibly update cache CS354-Fall2018

9 Memory Management How to protect programs from each other?
How to handle relocation ? Base register Limit register Check and Mapping of Addresses Virtual Address - Physical Address Memory Management Unit (MMU – located on CPU chip or close to it Performance effects on memory system Cache Context switch

10 I/O Devices Controller Device Example: Disk Controller
Controllers are complex converting OS request into device parameters Controllers often contain small embedded computers Device Fairly simple interfaces and standardized IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) – standard disk type on Pentiums and other computers

11 I/O Devices Device Driver
Needed since each type of controller may be different. Software that talks to a controller, giving it comments and accepting responses Each controller manufacturer supplies a driver for each OS it supports (e.g., drivers for Windows XP, Longhorn, UNIX)

12 Methods for I/O How device driver talks to controller Busy wait
Interrupt DMA

13 Bus Pentium systems have eight buses
Cache, local, memory, PCI, SCSI, USB, IDE, ISA PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus is successor to IBM PC ISA bus Intel bus, 528MB/sec ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) bus 16.67 MB/sec Specialized buses: SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) 160MB/sec – for disks, scanners (popular on Macintosh, UNIX) USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.5 MB/sec IEEE 1394 – FireWire (Apple) bus 50MB/sec, connectivity for cameras to computer IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) bus Disk, CD-ROM
