I need help with the following question below. This exercise will help you understand the cost/complexity/performance tradeoffs of forwarding in a pipelined processor. Problems in this exercise refer to pipelined datapaths from Figure 4.45. These problems assume that, of all the instructions executed in a processor, the following fraction has a particular type of RAW data dependence. The type of RAW data dependence is identified by the stage that produces the result (EX or MEM) and the instruction that consumes the result (1st instruction that follows the one that produces the result, 2nd instruction that follows, or both). We assume that the register write is done in the first half of the clock cycle and that register reads are done in the second half of the cycle, so “EX to 3rd” and “MEM to 3rd” dependences are not counted because they cannot result in data hazards. Also, assume that the CPI of the processor is 1 if there are no data hazards. EX to 1st only MEM to 1st only EX to…
Assume the miss rate of an instruction cache is 4% and the miss rate of the data cache is 5%. If a processor has a CPI of 3 without any memory stalls, and the miss penalty is 50 cycles for all misses, determine how much faster a processor would run with a perfect cache that never missed. Assume the frequency of all loads and stores is 44%.
Question 7: Suppose in a program there are 300 instructions, and 6 stages are required for each instruction to be processed. Time required in each stage is equivalent to 1 ps. Calculate the efficiency of pipeline parallel processing.
Q. What is the baseline performance (in cycles, per loop iteration) of the code sequence in if no new instruction’s execution could be initiated until the previous instruction’s execution had completed? Ignore front-end fetch and decode. Assume for now that execution does not stall for lack of the next instruction, but only one instruction/cycle can be issued. Assume the branch is taken, and that there is a one-cycle branch delay slot.
