CPU OrganizationCPU Organization• Datapath Design:
– Capabilities & performance characteristics of principalFunctional Units (FUs):
• (e.g., Registers, ALU, Shifters, Logic Units, ...)
– Ways in which these components are interconnected (busesconnections, multiplexors, etc.).
– How information flows between components.
• Control Unit Design:– Logic and means by which such information flow is controlled.
– Control and coordination of FUs operation to realize the targetedInstruction Set Architecture to be implemented (can either beimplemented using a finite state machine or a microprogram).

Recent Trends in Computer DesignRecent Trends in Computer Design• The cost/performance ratio of computing systems have seen a
steady decline due to advances in:
– Integrated circuit technology: decreasing feature size, l• Clock rate improves roughly proportional to improvement in λλ• Number of transistors improves proportional to λλ22 (or faster).
– Architectural improvements in CPU design.
• Microprocessor systems directly reflect IC improvement in termsof a yearly 35 to 55% improvement in performance.
• Assembly language has been mostly eliminated and replaced byother alternatives such as C or C++
• Standard operating Systems (UNIX, NT) lowered the cost ofintroducing new architectures.
• Emergence of RISC architectures and RISC-core architectures.
• Adoption of quantitative approaches to computer design based onempirical performance observations.

Computer Architecture Vs. Computer Organization• The term Computer architecture is sometimes erroneously restricted
to computer instruction set design, with other aspects of computerdesign called implementation
• More accurate definitions:
– Instruction set architecture (ISA): The actual programmer-visible instruction set and serves as the boundary between thesoftware and hardware.
– Implementation of a machine has two components:
• Organization: includes the high-level aspects of a computer’sdesign such as: The memory system, the bus structure, theinternal CPU unit which includes implementations of arithmetic,logic, branching, and data transfer operations.
• Hardware: Refers to the specifics of the machine such as detailedlogic design and packaging technology.
• In general, Computer Architecture refers to the above three aspects:
Instruction set architecture, organization, and hardware.

Computer Performance Evaluation:Computer Performance Evaluation:Cycles Per Instruction (CPI)Cycles Per Instruction (CPI)
• Most computers run synchronously utilizing a CPU clockrunning at a constant clock rate:
where: Clock rate = 1 / clock cycle
• A computer machine instruction is comprised of a number ofelementary or micro operations which vary in number andcomplexity depending on the instruction and the exact CPUorganization and implementation.– A micro operation is an elementary hardware operation that can be
performed during one clock cycle.
– This corresponds to one micro-instruction in microprogrammed CPUs.
– Examples: register operations: shift, load, clear, increment, ALUoperations: add , subtract, etc.
• Thus a single machine instruction may take one or more cyclesto complete termed as the Cycles Per Instruction (CPI).
EECC551 - ShaabanEECC551 - Shaaban#26 Lec # 1 Fall 2000 9-7-2000
• For a specific program compiled to run on a specific machine “A”,the following parameters are provided:
– The total instruction count of the program.– The average number of cycles per instruction (average CPI).– Clock cycle of machine “A”
• How can one measure the performance of this machine running thisprogram?
– Intuitively the machine is said to be faster or has better performancerunning this program if the total execution time is shorter.
– Thus the inverse of the total measured program execution time is apossible performance measure or metric:
PerformanceA = 1 / Execution TimeA
How to compare performance of different machines?
What factors affect performance? How to improve performance?

Measuring PerformanceMeasuring Performance• For a specific program or benchmark running on machine x:
Performance = 1 / Execution Timex
• To compare the performance of machines X, Y, executing specific code:
n = Executiony / Executionx
= Performance x / Performancey
• System performance refers to the performance and elapsed time measuredon an unloaded machine.
• CPU Performance refers to user CPU time on an unloaded system.
• Example:
For a given program: Execution time on machine A: ExecutionA = 1 second
Execution time on machine B: ExecutionB = 10 secondsPerformanceA /PerformanceB = Execution TimeB /Execution TimeA = 10 /1 = 10
The performance of machine A is 10 times the performance of machine B whenrunning this program, or: Machine A is said to be 10 times faster than machine Bwhen running this program.

• The average instruction takes a number of cycles perinstruction (CPI) to be completed.– Measured in: cycles/instruction
• CPU has a fixed clock cycle time C = 1/clock rate– Measured in: seconds/cycle
• CPU execution time is the product of the above threeparameters as follows:
CPU Time = I x CPI x C

machine with the following parameters:
– Total instruction count: 10,000,000 instructions
– Average CPI for the program: 2.5 cycles/instruction.
– CPU clock rate: 200 MHz.
• Using the same program with these changes:
– A new compiler used: New instruction count 9,500,000
New CPI: 3.0
– Faster CPU implementation: New clock rate = 300 MHZ
• What is the speedup with the changes?
Speedup = (10,000,000 x 2.5 x 5x10-9) / (9,500,000 x 3 x 3.33x10-9 ) = .125 / .095 = 1.32

= (Instruction count x Clock rate) / (Instruction count x CPI x 106)
= Clock rate / (CPI x 106)
• Faster execution time usually means faster MIPS rating.
• Problems:
– No account for instruction set used.
– Program-dependent: A single machine does not have a single MIPSrating.
– Cannot be used to compare computers with different instructionsets.
– A higher MIPS rating in some cases may not mean higherperformance or better execution time. i.e. due to compiler designvariations.

MIPS = Clock rate / (CPI x 106) = 100 MHz / (CPI x 106)
CPI = CPU execution cycles / Instructions count
CPU time = Instruction count x CPI / Clock rate
• For compiler 1:
– CPI1 = (5 x 1 + 1 x 2 + 1 x 3) / (5 + 1 + 1) = 10 / 7 = 1.43
– MIP1 = 100 / (1.428 x 106) = 70.0
– CPU time1 = ((5 + 1 + 1) x 106 x 1.43) / (100 x 106) = 0.10 seconds
• For compiler 2:
– CPI2 = (10 x 1 + 1 x 2 + 1 x 3) / (10 + 1 + 1) = 15 / 12 = 1.25
– MIP2 = 100 / (1.25 x 106) = 80.0
– CPU time2 = ((10 + 1 + 1) x 106 x 1.25) / (100 x 106) = 0.15 seconds

Computer Performance Measures :Computer Performance Measures :MFOLPS MFOLPS (Million FLOating-Point Operations Per Second)
• A floating-point operation is an addition, subtraction, multiplication,or division operation applied to numbers represented by a single ordouble precision floating-point representation.
• MFLOPS, for a specific program running on a specific computer, isa measure of millions of floating point-operation (megaflops) persecond:
MFLOPS = Number of floating-point operations / (Execution time x 106 )
• A better comparison measure between different machines thanMIPS.
• Program-dependent: Different programs have differentpercentages of floating-point operations present. i.e compilers haveno such operations and yield a MFLOPS rating of zero.
• Dependent on the type of floating-point operations present in theprogram.

• Amdahl’s Law:
The performance gain from improving some portion ofa computer is calculated by:
Speedup = Performance for entire task using the enhancement
Performance for the entire task without using the enhancement

Performance Enhancement Calculations:Performance Enhancement Calculations: Amdahl's Law Amdahl's Law
• The performance enhancement possible due to a given designimprovement is limited by the amount that the improved feature is used
• Amdahl’s Law:
Performance improvement or speedup due to enhancement E:
Execution Time without E Performance with E Speedup(E) = -------------------------------------- = --------------------------------- Execution Time with E Performance without E
– Suppose that enhancement E accelerates a fraction F of theexecution time by a factor S and the remainder of the time isunaffected then:
Execution Time with E = ((1-F) + F/S) X Execution Time without EHence speedup is given by:
Execution Time without E 1Speedup(E) = --------------------------------------------------------- = -------------------- ((1 - F) + F/S) X Execution Time without E (1 - F) + F/S

• If a CPU design enhancement improves the CPI of load instructionsfrom 5 to 2, what is the resulting performance improvement from thisenhancement:
Fraction enhanced = F = 45% or .45
Unaffected fraction = 100% - 45% = 55% or .55
Factor of enhancement = 5/2 = 2.5
Using Amdahl’s Law: 1 1Speedup(E) = ------------------ = --------------------- = 1.37 (1 - F) + F/S .55 + .45/2.5

Performance Enhancement ExamplePerformance Enhancement Example• A program runs in 100 seconds on a machine with multiply
operations responsible for 80 seconds of this time. By how muchmust the speed of multiplication be improved to make the programfour times faster?
100 Desired speedup = 4 = ----------------------------------------------------- Execution Time with enhancement
→ Execution time with enhancement = 25 seconds
25 seconds = (100 - 80 seconds) + 80 seconds / n 25 seconds = 20 seconds + 80 seconds / n
→ 5 = 80 seconds / n
→ n = 80/5 = 16
Hence multiplication should be 16 times faster to get a speedup of 4.

Performance Enhancement ExamplePerformance Enhancement Example
• For the previous example with a program running in 100 seconds ona machine with multiply operations responsible for 80 seconds of thistime. By how much must the speed of multiplication be improvedto make the program five times faster?
100Desired speedup = 5 = ----------------------------------------------------- Execution Time with enhancement
→ Execution time with enhancement = 20 seconds
20 seconds = (100 - 80 seconds) + 80 seconds / n 20 seconds = 20 seconds + 80 seconds / n
→ 0 = 80 seconds / n
No amount of multiplication speed improvement can achieve this.

• Three CPU performance enhancements are proposed with the followingspeedups and percentage of the code execution time affected:
Speedup1 = S1 = 10 Percentage1 = F1 = 20%
Speedup2 = S2 = 15 Percentage1 = F2 = 15%
Speedup3 = S3 = 30 Percentage1 = F3 = 10%
• While all three enhancements are in place in the new design, eachenhancement affects a different portion of the code and only oneenhancement can be used at a time.
• What is the resulting overall speedup?
• Speedup = 1 / [(1 - .2 - .15 - .1) + .2/10 + .15/15 + .1/30)] = 1 / [ .55 + .0333 ] = 1 / .5833 = 1.71
