Pipeline Hazards
-
These occur during situations in pipelining when the next instruction cannot execute
in the following clock cycle
-
There are three types: structural hazards, data hazards, and control hazards
-
Structural Hazards
-
Suppose we had only one memory unit, the hardware cannot support the
combination of instructions that are set to execute in the same clock cycle
-
MIPS was designed to be pipelined, making it easy to avoid structural
hazards
-
We have an instruction memory unit and a data memory unit
-
For the register file, “write” occurs in the first half of the clock cycle
and “read” occurs in the second half of the clock cycle
-
Data Hazards
-
An instruction depends on a previous instruction, the instruction cannot be
executed as planned because data is not yet available
-
One solution is forwarding or bypassing
-
Adding extra hardware to retrieve the missing item early from the
internal resources
-
Another solution is stalling (with forwarding)
-
A stall is needed when an R-type instruction following a load tries to
use the data loaded
<- Forwarding
Stalling ->
-
Another solution is re-ordering the code
-
Control Hazards
-
You need to worry about branch instructions. When we decide to branch,
other instructions are already in the pipeline.
-
One solution is to “predict” that branches are not taken:
-
Need hardware to flush instructions if we are wrong

Following operation are supported:
R12),

Computer architecture question No. 9
Quick response!
arrow_forward
A digital computer has a memory unit with 32 bits per word. The
instruction set consists of 110 different operations. All instructions
have an operation code part (opcode) and two address fields: one for
a memory address and one for a register address. This particular
system includes eight general-purpose, user-addressable registers.
Registers may be loaded directly from memory, and memory may be
updated directly from the registers. Direct memory-to-memory data
movement operations are not supported. Each instruction stored in
one word of memory. At least, how many bits are needed for the
opcode?
arrow_forward
True/False
Run times of the typical five stages to execute an instruction are as given in some units of time:
Instruction Fetch: 10
Instruction Decode: 15
Execute: 30
Memory: 50
Write Back: 20
If this is implemented as a pipelined versus a non-pipelined machine, then depending on the absence of hazards, one could expect the speedup to be about 2.5.

Orthogonality refers to the presence of a "backup" instruction in an instruction set design that may be used in place of any other instruction that achieves the same aim. The onus is on you to confirm or refute my assumption.

A program sees a 4% miss rate on both the Instruction Cache and the Data Cache.
Every instruction requires access to the Instruction cache.
Only 35% of the instructions require data access from the Data Cache.
The miss penalty for either the data or the instruction cache is 100 cycles.
Assume the average Clocks per Instruction (CPI) is 2 without any memory stalls (this is a hypothetical machine where if there were no misses on that instruction, it would get executed in 2 clock cycles. We are not worrying about how it is implemented, just, that suppose it was possible).
Assume the number of instructions in a program is X.
F3: What is the total run time of the program including the missed cycles dues to data and instruction misses?
F4: What is the ratio of the actual run time (from question F3 above) to the fictitious run time if there were no cache misses at all?
