BASICS OF PIPELINE Presented by Name of the Student: Sulagna Palit University Roll No: 16900123131 INTRODUCTION
• Definition: Pipelining is a technique used in computer
architecture to enhance instruction throughput. • Purpose: Improves the efficiency of CPU operations by overlapping instruction execution. • Basic Concept: Multiple instructions are processed simultaneously in different pipeline stages. BASIC COMPONENTS OF A PIPELINE • Instruction Fetch (IF): Fetches instruction from memory. • Instruction Decode (ID): Decodes instruction and retrieves necessary registers. • Execute (EX): Performs arithmetic/logic operations. • Memory Access (MEM): Reads/writes data from/to memory. • Write Back (WB): Writes results back to registers. PIPELINING VS. SEQUENTIAL EXECUTION • Sequential Execution: One instruction is executed at a time. • Pipelined Execution: Multiple instructions are executed simultaneously at different stages. HAZARDS IN PIPELINING • Structural Hazard: When multiple instructions compete for the same resource. • Data Hazard: When instructions depend on previous instruction results. • Control Hazard: Caused by branch instructions affecting instruction flow. TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE PIPELINE HAZARDS
• Forwarding (Bypassing): Using results directly instead of
waiting for write-back. • Stalling (Pipeline Interlocking): Delaying instruction execution to resolve dependencies. • Branch Prediction: Predicting branch outcomes to minimize delays. • Speculative Execution: Executing instructions ahead of time and rolling back if needed. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF PIPELINING • Advantages: • Increases CPU throughput. • Efficient utilization of CPU resources. • Faster instruction execution. • Disadvantages: • Increased complexity in handling hazards. • Higher hardware costs. • Some instructions may not be pipeline-friendly. CONCLUSION • Pipelining enhances CPU efficiency by processing multiple instructions concurrently. • Modern processors rely heavily on pipelining for performance optimization. • Managing hazards effectively is crucial for pipeline efficiency.
