Consider a standard 5-stage MIPS pipeline of the type discussed
during the class sessions: IF-
ID-EX-M-WB.
Assume that forwarding is not implemented and only the hazard
detection and stall logic is
implemented so that all data dependencies are handled by having the
pipeline stall until the
register fetch will result in the correct data being fetched.
Furthermore, assume that the memory is written/updated in the first
half of the clock cycle
(i.e. on the rising edge of the clock) and...
A 5-Stage pipeline is composed
of the following stages Instruction Fetch (IF), Decode (DE),
Execute (EX), Memory Access (ME) and Register Write-back (WB).
Assume the pipeline does not have a branch prediction unit, does
not have superscalar support and does not support out of order
execution. Assume that all memory accesses are in the L1 cache and
therefore do not introduce any stalls. Show a pipeline diagram that
shows the execution of each stage for the assembly code below. Also...
1. Given the following instruction sequence for the MIPS processor with the standard 5 stage pipeline $10, S0. 4 addi lw S2.0(S10) add sw S2,4(510) $2, $2, $2 Show the data dependences between the instructions above by drawing arrows between dependent instructions (only show true/data dependencies). a. Assuming forwarding support, in what cycle would the store instruction write back to memory? Show the cycle by cycle execution of the instructions as they execute in the pipeline. Also, show any stalls...
In this exercise, we examine how data dependences affect execution in the basic 5-stage pipeline described in Section 4.5. Problems in this exercise refer to th following sequence of instructions: addi $2,$2,22 SW $3,20($2) OR $4,$2,$3 Also, assume the following cycle times for each of the options related to forwarding: Without Forwarding With Full Forwarding 300ps With ALU-ALU Forwarding Only 250ps 290ps 4.9.1 [10] <4.5> Indicate dependences and their type. 4.9.2 [10] <S4.5> Assume there is no forwarding in this...
We implemented a new 5-stage pipeline with the following features: the delay by data and control hazards are as follows: 1 cycle stall for the load by immediate use, 2 cycle stalls for branch taken. Assume we now run 10,000 instructions on the pipeline, among them: (1) 35% are lw instructions. 10% of lw instructions are followed by instructions that use lw result immediately in ALU input; (2)15% are branch instructions with 40% possibility of branch taken; (3) the remaining...
The latencies of individual stages in five-stage MIPS (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages) Architecture are given below. Instruction Instruction Fetch Register Read Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) Memory Access Register Write Latency 200ps 100ps 200ps 300ps 100ps a. (10 pts) What is the clock cycle time in a pipelined and non-pipelined processor? Pipelined version : ______________ Non-pipelined version : ______________ b. The classic five-stage pipeline MIPS architecture is used to execute the code fragments. Assume the followings: Register write is done...
We found that the instruction fetch and memory stages are the
critical path of our 5-stage pipelined MIPS CPU. Therefore, we
changed the IF and MEM stages to take two cycles
while increasing the clock rate. You can assume that the register
file is written at the falling edge of the clock.
Assume that no pipelining optimizations have been made, and that
branch comparisons are made by the ALU. Here’s how our pipeline
looks when executing two add instructions:
Clock...
Show how the same four instructions move through each stage of the five stage pipeline, similar to the example on slide 13 of lecture 17. This pipeline does support bypassing. Make sure the decode stage does not advance an instruction through the pipeline unless all data dependences are correctly resolved. You don't need to show the latch involved in every bypass (but feel free to ponder this question for your own understanding). (25 points) I1: add $s1, $s2, $s3 I2:...
1.We have a single stage, non-pipelined machine and a pipelined machine with 5 pipeline stages. The cycle time of the former is 5 ns and the latter is 1ns. Assuming no stalls, what is the speedup of the pipelined machine over the single stage machine? 2.We have prediction schemes: not taken, predict taken and dynamic prediction. Which of these prediction would be best if we have no penalty on right, 2 cycles on wrong, average 90% accuracy and 95% frequency
Using a 5 stage pipeline architecture (IF-OF-EX-MEM-WB), use a drawing to indicate the stages used by each one of the following instructions: add, sw, lw, j, and lui. (use Y for yes and blank for no)
