KOMPUTER
RISC
TIK:
Major Advances in
Computers(1)
The family concept
IBM System/360 1964
DEC PDP-8
Separates architecture from implementation
Cache memory
IBM S/360 model 85 1969
Major Advances in
Computers(2)
Solid State RAM
(See memory notes)
Microprocessors
Intel 4004 1971
Pipelining
Introduces parallelism into fetch execute cycle
Multiple processors
Key features
Large number of general purpose registers
or use of compiler technology to optimize register use
Limited and simple instruction set
Emphasis on optimising the instruction pipeline
Comparison of processors

Intention of CISC
Ease compiler writing
Improve execution efficiency
Complex operations in microcode
Support more complex HLLs
Execution Characteristics
Operations performed
Operands used
Execution sequencing
Studies have been done based on programs written
in HLLs
Dynamic studies are measured during the execution
of the program
Operations
Assignments
Movement of data
Conditional statements (IF, LOOP)
Sequence control
Procedure call-return is very time consuming
Some HLL instruction lead to many machine code
operations
Operands
Mainly local scalar variables
Optimisation should concentrate on accessing local
variables
Pascal C Average
Integer constant 16 23 20
Scalar variable 58 53 55
Array/structure 26 24 25
Procedure Calls
Very time consuming
Depends on number of parameters passed
Depends on level of nesting
Most programs do not do a lot of calls followed by
lots of returns
Most variables are local
(c.f. locality of reference)
Implications
Best support is given by optimising most used and
most time consuming features
Large number of registers
Operand referencing
Careful design of pipelines
Branch prediction etc.
Simplified (reduced) instruction set
Hardware solution
Have more registers
Thus more variables will be in registers
Register Windows
Only few parameters
Limited range of depth of call
Use multiple small sets of registers
Calls switch to a different set of registers
Returns switch back to a previously used set of
registers
Global Variables
Allocated by the compiler to memory
Inefficient for frequently accessed variables
Have a set of registers for global variables
Registers v Cache
Large Register File Cache
Referencing a Scalar -
Window Based Register File
Graph Coloring
Given a graph of nodes and edges
Assign a color to each node
Adjacent nodes have different colors
Use minimum number of colors
Nodes are symbolic registers
Two registers that are live in the same program fragment are
joined by an edge
Try to color the graph with n colors, where n is the number of
real registers
Nodes that can not be colored are placed in memory
Smaller programs?
Program takes up less memory but…
Memory is now cheap
May not occupy less bits, just look shorter in symbolic
form
More instructions require longer op-codes
Register references require fewer bits

RISC Characteristics
One instruction per cycle
Register to register operations
Few, simple addressing modes
Few, simple instruction formats
Hardwired design (no microcode)
Fixed instruction format
More compile time/effort
RISC v CISC
Not clear cut
Many designs borrow from both philosophies
e.g. PowerPC and Pentium II
RISC Pipelining
Most instructions are register to register
Two phases of execution
I: Instruction fetch
E: Execute
ALU operation with register input and output
For load and store
I: Instruction fetch
E: Execute
Calculate memory address
D: Memory
Register to memory or memory to register s1
operation

Effects of Pipelining
Optimization of Pipelining
Delayed branch
Does not take effect until after execution of following
instruction
This following instruction is the delay slot
Controversy
Quantitative
compare program sizes and execution speeds
Qualitative
examine issues of high level language support and use of
VLSI real estate
Problems
No pair of RISC and CISC that are directly comparable
No definitive set of test programs
Difficult to separate hardware effects from complier effects
Most comparisons done on “toy” rather than production
machines
Most commercial devices are a mixture
