  1. Integrated Circuits Costs IC cost = Die cost + Testing cost + Packaging cost Final test yield Die cost = Wafer cost Dies per Wafer * Die yield Dies per wafer = š * ( Wafer_diam / 2)2 – š * Wafer_diam – Test dies Die Area ¦ 2 * Die Area Die Yield = Wafer yield * 1 +  Defects_per_unit_area * Die_Area  } { Die Cost goes roughly with die area4

  3. Learning Curve • “When volume doubles, cost reduces 10%” • Gordon Bell 1978 • Example: PCs v. Workstations 1990 1992 1994 1997 PC 24M 33M 44M 65M WS .41M .58M .68M .98M Ratio 59 57 65 67 • 65x ~ 2^6 --> .9^6 = 0.53

  4. A B C D Pipelining: Its Natural! • Laundry Example • Ann, Brian, Cathy, Dave each have one load of clothes to wash, dry, and fold • Washer takes 30 minutes • Dryer takes 40 minutes • “Folder” takes 20 minutes

  5. A B C D Sequential Laundry 6 PM Midnight 7 8 9 11 10 Time • Sequential laundry takes 6 hours for 4 loads • If they learned pipelining, how long would laundry take? 30 40 20 30 40 20 30 40 20 30 40 20 T a s k O r d e r

  6. 30 40 40 40 40 20 A B C D Pipelined LaundryStart work ASAP 6 PM Midnight 7 8 9 11 10 Time • Pipelined laundry takes 3.5 hours for 4 loads T a s k O r d e r

  7. 30 40 40 40 40 20 A B C D Pipelining Lessons 6 PM 7 8 9 • Pipelining doesn’t help latency of single task, it helps throughput of entire workload • Pipeline rate limited by slowest pipeline stage • Multiple tasks operating simultaneously • Potential speedup = Number pipe stages • Unbalanced lengths of pipe stages reduces speedup • Time to “fill” pipeline and time to “drain” it reduces speedup Time T a s k O r d e r

  8. Computer Pipelines • Execute billions of instructions, so throughout is what matters • DLX desirable features: all instructions same length, registers located in same place in instruction format, memory operands only in loads or stores

  9. Example: MIPS (­ DLX) Register-Register 6 5 11 10 31 26 25 21 20 16 15 0 Op Rs1 Rs2 Rd Opx Register-Immediate 31 26 25 21 20 16 15 0 immediate Op Rs1 Rd Branch 31 26 25 21 20 16 15 0 immediate Op Rs1 Rs2/Opx Jump / Call 31 26 25 0 target Op

  13. Its Not That Easy for Computers • Limits to pipelining: Hazards prevent next instruction from executing during its designated clock cycle • Structural hazards: HW cannot support this combination of instructions (single person to fold and put clothes away) • Data hazards: Instruction depends on result of prior instruction still in the pipeline (missing sock) • Control hazards: Pipelining of branches & other instructionsstall the pipeline until the hazardbubbles” in the pipeline
