(Practice) Although the total number of bytes varies from computer to computer, memory sizes of millions and billions of bytes are common. In computer language, the letter M representsthe number 1,048,576, which is 2 raised to the 20th power, and G represents 1,073,741,824, which is 2 raised to the 30th power. Therefore, a memory size of 4 MB is really 4 times 1,048,576 (4,194,304 bytes), and a memory size of 2 GB is really 2 times 1,073,741,824 (2,147,483,648 bytes). Using this information, calculate the actual number of bytes in the following: a. A memory containing 512 MB b. A memory consisting of 512 MB words, where each word consists of 2 bytes c. A memory consisting of 512 MB words, where each word consists of 4 bytes d. A thumb drive that specifies 2 GB e. A disk that specifies 4 GB f. A disk that specifies 8 GB
4.22 [5] <§4.5> Consider the fragment of LEGv8 assembly below: STUR X16, [X6, #12] LDUR X16, [X6, #8] SUB X7, X5, X4 CBZ X7, Label ADD X5, X1, X4 SUB X5, X15, X4 Suppose we modify the pipeline so that it has only one memory (that handles both instructions and data). In this case, there will be a structural hazard every time a program needs to fetch an instruction during the same cycle in which another instruction accesses data. 4.22.1 [5] <§4.5> Draw a pipeline diagram to show were the code above will stall. 4.22.2 [5] <§4.5> In general, is it possible to reduce the number of stalls/NOPs resulting from this structural hazard by reordering code? 4.22.3 [5] <§4.5> Must this structural hazard be handled in hardware?

If not, explain why not. 4.22.4 [5] <§4.5> Approximately how many stalls would you expect this…

In this exercise, we examine how resource hazards, control hazards, and Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) design can affect pipelined execution. Problems in this exercise refer to the following fragment of MIPS code: sw r16,12(r6)lw r16,8(r6)beq r5,r4,Label # Assume r5!=r4add r5,r1,r4slt r5,r15,r4 Assume that individual pipeline stages have the following latencies: IF ID EX MEM WB200ps 120ps 150ps 190ps 100ps 1.1, For this problem, assume that all branches are perfectly predicted (this eliminates all control hazards) and that no delay slots are used. If we only have one memory (for both instructions and data), there is a structural hazard every time we need to fetch an instruction in the same cycle in which another instruction accesses data. To guarantee forward progress, this hazard must always be resolved in favor of the instruction that accesses data. What is the total execution time of this instruction sequence in the 5-stage pipeline that only…
17. Consider the following hypothetical instruction: SubMem R1, mem1, mem2 This instruction works as follows: \[ \mathrm{R} 1 \leftarrow \text { [mem1] - [mem2] } \] In a multi-cycle datapath implementation, this instruction will: a. Use the MDR twice b. Use the ALU once c. Use the "shift to left" unit twice d. None of the above Answer: B 18. Consider the following hypothetical instruction: Mems mem1, R1, mem2 This instruction works as follows: \[ \text { [mem1] } \leftarrow \mathrm{R} 1 \text { - [mem2] } \] One of the following is correct about this instruction: a. It will not need theBregister b. It will require priting into MDR twice c. It will require writing into the ALUout three times d. None of the above Answer: A 19. By comparing the hypothetical instructions given in Questions (17) and (18), if we run these instructions on the same processor, then one of the following is correct: a. Both instructions have the same CPI b. Mems executes faster than SubMem c. SubMem executes…

4.18 [5] <COD §4.5> Assume that X1 is initialized to 11 and X2 is initialized to 22. Suppose you executed the code below on a version of the pipeline from COD Section 4.5 (An overview of pipelining) that does not handle data hazards (i.e., the programmer is responsible for addressing data hazards by inserting NOP instructions where necessary). What would the final values of registers X3 and X4 be? ADDI X1, X2, #5 ADD X3, X1, X2 ADDI X4, X1, #15
The importance of having a good branch predictor depends on how often conditional branches are executed. Together with branch predictor accuracy, this will determine how much time is spent stalling due to mispredicted branches. In this exercise, assume that the breakdown of dynamic instructions into various instruction categories is as follows: R-Type BEQ JMP LW SW 40% 25% 5% 25% 5% Also, assume the following branch predictor accuracies: Always - Taken Always - not - taken 2-bit 40% 60% 75% 1.1 Stall cycles due to mispredicted branches increase the CPI. What is the extra CPI due to mispredicted branches with the always-taken predictor? Assume that branch outcomes are determined in the EX stage, that there are no data hazards, and that no delay slots are used. 1.2 Repeat 1.1 for the “always-not-taken” predictor. 1.3 Repeat 1.1 for the 2-bit predictor. 1.4 With the 2-bit predictor, what speedup would be achieved if we could convert half of the branch instructions in a way…

Is it possible for the scheduler to juxtapose the commands in such a way that there is no need for any bubbles? If yes, give an example of how it can be done.
