Program Plan Intro
Processing stages:
- The processing of an instruction has number of operations.
- The operations are organized into particular sequence of stages.
- It attempts to follow a uniform sequence for all instructions.
- The description of stages are shown below:
- Fetch:
- It uses program counter “PC” as memory address to read instruction bytes from memory.
- The 4-bit portions “icode” and “ifun” of specifier byte is extracted from instruction.
- It fetches “valC” that denotes an 8-byte constant.
- It computes “valP” that denotes value of “PC” plus length of fetched instruction.
- Decode:
- The register file is been read with two operands.
- It gives values “valA” and “valB” for operands.
- It reads registers with instruction fields “rA” and “rB”.
- Execute:
- In this stage the ALU either performs required operation or increments and decrements stack pointer.
- The resulting value is termed as “valE”.
- The condition codes are evaluated and destination register is updated based on condition.
- It determines whether branch should be taken or not in a jump instruction.
- Memory:
- The data is been written to memory or read from memory in this stage.
- The value that is read is determined as “valM”.
- Write back:
- The results are been written to register file.
- It can write up to two results.
- PC update:
- The program counter “PC” denotes memory address to read bytes of instruction from memory.
- It is used to set next instruction’s address.
- Fetch:

Which machine is faster for each program, and by how much?
2. For M1 and M2 of problem 1, the following additional measurements are made:. Find the instruction execution rate (instructions per second) for each machine when running program 1.
Program
Instructions executed on M1
Instructions executed on M2

- Section 1.0 cites as a pitfall the utilization of a subset of the performace equation as a performance metric. To illustrate this, consider the following two processors. P1 has a clock rate of 4GHz, average CPI of 0.9, and requires the execution of 5.0E9 instructions. P2 has a clock rate of 3GHz, an average CPI of 0.75, and requires the execution of 1.0E9 instructions. (1) A common fallacy is to use MIPS to compare the performace of two different processors, and consider that the processor with the largest MIPS has the largest performance. Check if this is true for P1 and P2. (2) Another common performace figure is MFLOPS, defined as MFLOPS = No. FP operations / (execution time x 1E6) but this figure has the same problems as MIPS. Assume that 40% of the instructions executed on both P1 and P2 are floating-point instructions.
