1 第七章 PIPELINING

2 Outline What is pipelining?
The basic pipeline for a RISC instruction set The major hurdle of pipelining – pipeline hazards Data hazards Control hazards Performance

3 What is pipelining? Pipelining is an implementation technique whereby multiple instructions are overlapped in execution. Not visible to the programmer Each step in the pipeline completes a part of an instruction. Each step is completing different parts of different instructions in parallel Each of these steps is called a pipe stage or a pipe segment.

4 What is pipelining? Like Assembly line in the factory
The time required between moving an instruction one step down the pipeline is a machine cycle. All the stages must be ready to proceed at the same time Slowest pipe stage dominates Machine cycle is usually one clock cycle (sometimes two, rarely more) The pipeline designer’s goal is to balance the length of each pipeline stage.

F (Fetch) D (Decode) E (Execute) W (Write)

8 How about the clock of IF
Because all the stages must be completed at the same time, we can not expect IF to access main memory Thus IF must access L1 cache When cache is built in CPU, the access time of cache is almost the same as the time to execute other operations within CPU Slowest pipe stage dominates

9 Performance of Pipeline
If the stages are perfectly balanced, then the time per instruction on the pipelined machine – assuming ideal conditions--is equal to

10 Pipeline Hazards Structural hazards Data hazards Control hazards
Caused by resource conflict Possible to avoid by adding resources – but may be too costly Data hazards Instruction depends on the results of a previous instruction in a way that is exposed by the overlapping of instructions in the pipeline Can be mitigated somewhat by a smart compiler Control hazards When the PC does not get just incremented Branches and jumps - not too bad

11 管線可能遇到的問題(data hazard)

14 But pipeline will promote productivity
Pipeline can not accelerate the execution time of instructions, actually it will prolong the instruction execution time due to the latch added between stages But pipeline will promote productivity Shorten the completion time of one instruction

15 Data Hazard Add R2,R3,R4 Sub R5,R4,R6
One instruction’s source registers is the destination register of previous one

18 Forwarding(轉交) How do we handle this in general?
Key is to keep the ALU result around Add R2,R3,R4 Sub R5,R4,R6 How do we handle this in general? Forwarded value can be at ALU output or Mem stage output ADD produces R4 value at ALU output SUB needs it again at the ALU input

24 Branch Instructions 20% of Dynamic execution is branch instructions, that is, every 5 instructions been executed has one branch Branch has huge impact on pipeline, thus modern CPU has various strategies to handle this control hazard such as delay branch, branch prediction, branch folding

25 Delayed branch (make the stall cycle useful)
Branch delay slot Compiler has to find instructions to fill in the slot(85% complex compiler technique can handle one delay slot) Maybe more than one slot, but it is hard for compiler to locate suitable instructions to fill in. Compiler need to find an instruction which is always executed to fill in the slot whether the branch is taken or not

28 Branch prediction (Speculative execution)
Static branch prediction Fixed prediction for every branch Branch taken Branch not taken Dynamic branch prediction branch-prediction buffer Branch target buffer (BTB)

29 Branch-prediction buffer
this buffer contains a bit as to whether the branch was last taken or not (1 time history) upon fetching the instruction, we also fetch the prediction bit (from a special cache) if the bit is set, we predict that the branch is taken if the bit is not set, we predict that the branch is not taken

30 (b) 4-狀態演算法 (2 bit history)
發生分支 (BT) BNT LNT LT BT 沒有發生分支(BNT) (a) 2-狀態演算法(1 bit history) BT BNT SNT LNT BNT BNT BT ST: strongly taken LT: likely taken LNT: likely not taken SNT: strongly not taken BT LT ST BT BNT (b) 4-狀態演算法 (2 bit history) Better Approach 圖 分支預測演算法的狀態機表示法

31 Branch target buffer (BTB)
we need to know both the branch condition outcome and the branch address by the end of the IF stage we need to know where we are branching to before we have even decode the instruction as a branch! doesn’t seem possible, but we will use a prediction buffer like before but enhanced: We will use a branch-target buffer This will store for a given branch prediction of the branch outcome and if the branch is taken, the predicted branch target

32 The Target Buffer Send PC of current instruction to target
buffer in IF stage If we get a hit (PC is in the table) then look up the predicted PC and branch prediction If predict taken, then update the PC with the predicted PC in the buffer otherwise increment PC as usual Thus, we predict the branch location before we have even decoded the current instruction to see if it is a branch! On a branch miss or misprediction, update the buffer by moving missing PC into buffer, or updating predicted PC/branch prediction bit

33 Branch Folding Notice that by using the branch target buffer
we are fetching the new PC value (or the offset for the PC) from the buffer and then updating the PC and then fetching the branch target location instruction Instead, why not just fetch the next instruction? In Branch folding, the buffer stores the instruction at the predicted location If we use this scheme for unconditional branches, we wind up with a penalty of –1 (we are in essence removing the unconditional branch) Note: for this to work, we must also update the PC, so we must store both the target location and the target instruction this approach won’t work well for conditional branches

34 PowerPC 601 architecture

35 Branch folding The instruction queue is used mainly for detecting and dealing with branches. The 601's branch unit scans the bottom four entries of the queue, identifying branch instructions and determining what type they are (conditional, unconditional, etc.). In cases where the branch unit has enough information to resolve the branch right then and there (e.g. in the case of an unconditional branch, or a conditional branch whose condition is dependent on information that's already in the condition register) then the branch instruction is simply deleted from the instruction queue and replaced with the instruction located at the branch target. This branch-elimination technique, called branch folding, speeds performance in two ways. First, it eliminates an instruction (the branch) from the code stream, which frees up dispatch bandwidth for other instructions. Second, it eliminates the single-cycle pipeline bubble that usually occurs immediately after a branch.

36 Pipeline and addressing mode
Complex addressing mode doesn’t save any clock cycle than simple addressing mode Load (X(R1)),R2  complex addressing mode Add #X,R1,R2 Load (R2),R  simple addressing mode Load (R2),R2

37 (a) 複雜定址模式 (b) 簡單定址模式 圖 8.16 使用複雜與簡單定址模式的等價作業 時脈週期 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Load
時間 時脈週期 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Load F D X + [R1] [X + [R1]] [[X + [R1]]] W F 轉交 下一個指令 F D E W (a) 複雜定址模式 Add F D X + [R1] W Load F D [X + [R1]] W Load F D [[X + [R1]]] W 下一個指令 F D E W (b) 簡單定址模式 圖 使用複雜與簡單定址模式的等價作業

38 現代處理器的定址模式特色 (RISC優先強調的部分)
存取運算元時不需要存取記憶體一次以上 只有載入(load)與儲存(store)指令存取記憶體運算元 使用的定址模式沒有副作用 暫存器定址模式(不須計算EA) 暫存器間接定址模式(不須計算EA) 索引定址模式(只須一個clock計算EA)

39 Add Compare Branch=0 R1,R2 R3,R4 . . . (a) 程式片段 (b) 重新排序過的指令
