  7. Pipelining in a Computer • Divide datapath into nearly equal tasks, to be performed serially and requiring non-overlapping resources. • Insert registers at task boundaries in the datapath; registers pass the output data from one task as input data to the next task. • Synchronize tasks with a clock having a cycle time that just exceeds the time required by the longest task. • Break each instruction down into a fixed number of tasks so that instructions can be executed in a staggered fashion. ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12

  27. Advantages of Pipeline • After the fifth cycle (CC5), one instruction is completed each cycle; CPI ≈ 1, neglecting the initial pipeline latency (5 cycles): • Pipeline latency is defined as the number of stages in the pipeline. • The clock cycle is about four times shorter than that of single-cycle datapath and about the same as that of multicycle datapath. • For multicycle datapath, CPI = 3. …. • So, pipelined execution is faster, but . . .

  28. Science is always wrong. It never solves a problem without creating ten more. George Bernard Shaw ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12

  29. Pipeline Hazards • Definition: Hazard in a pipeline is a situation in which the next instruction cannot complete execution one clock cycle after completion of the presentinstruction. • Three types of hazards: • Structural hazard • Data hazard • Control hazard ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12

  30. Structural Hazard • Two instructions cannot execute due to a resource conflict. • Example: Consider a computer with a common data and instruction memory. The fourth cycle of a lw instruction requires memory access (memory read) and at the same time the first cycle of the fourth instruction requires instruction fetch (memory read). This will cause a memory resource conflict. ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12

  32. Possible Remedies for Structural Hazards • Provide duplicate hardware resources in datapath. • Control unit or compiler can insert delays (no-op cycles) between instructions. This is known as pipeline stall or bubble. ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12

  34. Data Hazard • Data hazard means that an instruction cannot be completed because the needed data, to be generated by another instruction in the pipeline, is not available. • Example: consider two instructions: • add $s0, $t0, $t1 • sub $t2, $s0, $t3 # needs $s0 ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12

FILE READ IM ALU sub $t2, $s0, $t3 MEM/WB IF/ID ID/EX EX/MEM Read s0 and t3 in CC3 Program instructions ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12

  36. Forwarding or Bypassing • Output of a resource used by an instruction is forwarded to the input of a resource being used by another instruction. • Forwarding can eliminate some, but not all, data hazards. ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12

  37. Forwarding for Data Hazard time CC1 CC2 CC3 CC4 CC5 Write s0 in CC5 DM ID, REG. FILE READ REG. FILE WRITE ALU IM add $s0, $t0, $t1 MEM/WB ID/EX EX/MEM IF/ID Forwarding DM ID, REG.

  42. Resolving Hazards • Hazards are resolved by Hazard detection and forwarding units. • Compiler’s understanding of how these units work can improve performance. ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12

  43.

  45. Control Hazard • Instruction to be fetched is not known! • Example: Instruction being executed is branch-type, which will determine the next instruction: • add $4, $5, $6 • beq $1, $2, 40 • next instruction • . . . • 40 or $7, $8, $9 ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12

  47. Why Only One Stall? • Extra hardware in ID phase: • Additional ALU to compute branch address • Comparator to generate zero signal • Hazard detection unit writes the branch address in PC ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12

  48. Ways to Handle Branch • Stall or bubble • Branch prediction: • Heuristics • Next instruction • Prediction based on statistics (dynamic) • Hardware decision (dynamic) • Prediction error: pipeline flush • Delayed branch ELEC 5200-001/6200-001 Lecture 12
