Computer Architecture: Dataflow (Part I)
Data Flow ! The models we have examined in 447/740 all assumed " Instructions are fetched and retired in sequential, control flow order ! This is part of the Von-Neumann model of computation " Single program counter " Sequential execution " Control flow determines fetch, execution, commit order What about out-of-order execution?

Computer Architecture: Branch Prediction
course.ece.cmu.eduHow 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
course.ece.cmu.eduWays 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 ...
MOSFET transistor I-V characteristics
course.ece.cmu.eduDepletion Mode NMOSFET • Depletion mode FETs have a channel implanted such that there is conduction with V GS=0 • The operation is the same as the enhancement mode FET, but the threshold voltage is shifted •Vt is negative for depletion NMOS, and positive for depletion PMOS VGS n+ n+ VS VDS n+ p
