Computer Architecture: Branch Prediction

How to Handle Control Dependences Critical to keep the pipeline full with correct sequence of dynamic instructions. Potential solutions if the instruction is a control-flow instruction: Stall the pipeline until we know the next fetch address Guess the next fetch address (branch prediction) Employ delayed branching (branch delay slot) Do something else (fine-grained multithreading)

CMOS Power Consumption - ECE:Course Page

Ways to reducing power consumption Load capacitance (C L) ⌧Roughly proportional to the chip area Switching activity (avg. number of transitions/cycle) ⌧Very data dependent ⌧A big portion due to glitches (real-delay) Clock frequency (f) ⌧Lowering only f decreases average power, but total energy is the same and throughput is worse 1.00 1 ...

• Edge-triggered: Read input only on edge of clock cycle (positive or negative) • Example below: Positive Edge-Triggered D Flip-Flop • On the positive edge (while the clock is going from 0 to 1), the input D is read, and almost immediately propagated to the output Q. Only the value of D at the positive edge matters. D C S C R D Clock Q Q
