Estimating time in CPU cycles:
It is given that the sustained throughput using large strides from L1 is: 12,000 MB/s.
Clock frequency= 2,100 MHz
Individual read accesses= 8-byte long
Hence, one can estimate that it takes roughly

access time with a neat diagram for the following memory design and derive the
formula to calculate the Overall Memory Access Time.

In this exercise, we examine how pipelining affects the clock cycle time of the processor. Problems in this exercise assume that individual stages of the datapath have the following latencies:
Also, assume that instructions executed by the processor are broken down as follows:
(a)
What is the clock cycle time in a pipelined and non-pipelined processor?
(b)
What is the total latency of an lw instruction in a pipelined and non-pipelined processor?
(c)
If we can split one stage of the pipelined datapath into two new stages, each with half the latency of the original stage, which stage would you split and what is the new clock cycle time of the processor?

- Section 1.0 cites as a pitfall the utilization of a subset of the performace equation as a performance metric. To illustrate this, consider the following two processors. P1 has a clock rate of 4GHz, average CPI of 0.9, and requires the execution of 5.0E9 instructions. P2 has a clock rate of 3GHz, an average CPI of 0.75, and requires the execution of 1.0E9 instructions. (1) A common fallacy is to use MIPS to compare the performace of two different processors, and consider that the processor with the largest MIPS has the largest performance. Check if this is true for P1 and P2. (2) Another common performace figure is MFLOPS, defined as MFLOPS = No. FP operations / (execution time x 1E6) but this figure has the same problems as MIPS. Assume that 40% of the instructions executed on both P1 and P2 are floating-point instructions. Find the MFLOPS figures for the processors.arrow_forwardProblem 4: Give a block diagram for a 8M x 32 memory using 512K x 8 memory ch book] [Hints: Figure 5.10 in thearrow_forwardI ONLY NEED 3 AND 4 Suppose memory has 256KB, OS use low address 20KB, there is one program sequence: Prog1 request 80KB, prog2 request 16KB, Prog3 request 140KB Prog1 finish, Prog3 finish; Prog4 request 80KB, Prog5 request 120kb Use first match and best match to deal with this sequence (from high address when allocated) (1)Draw allocation state when prog1,2,3 are loaded into memory?

- 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.
