3 10-3 Chapter 10 - Advanced Computer Architecture Parallel Speedup and Amdahl s Law In the context of parallel processing, speedup can be computed: Amdahl s law, for p processors and a fraction f of unparallelizable code: For example, if f = 10% of the operations must be performed sequentially, then speedup can be no greater than 10 regardless of how many processors are used:

4 10-4 Chapter 10 - Advanced Computer Architecture Efficiency and Throughput Efficiency is the ratio of speedup to the number of processors used. For a speedup of 5.3 with 10 processors, the efficiency is: Throughput is a measure of how much computation is achieved over time, and is of special concern for I/O bound and pipelined applications. For the case of a four stage pipeline that remains filled, in which each pipeline stage completes its task in 10 ns, the average time to complete an operation is 10 ns even though it takes 40 ns to execute any one operation. The overall throughput for this situation is then:

19 10-19 Chapter 10 - Advanced Computer Architecture 128-Bit IA-64 Instruction Word Each 41 bit instruction consists of three register addresses (each 7 bits = 128 possible registers), a predicate register (6 bits) and the opcode and flags or general purpose register (14 bits, varies by instruction).

23 10-23 Chapter 10 - Advanced Computer Architecture Intel MMX (MultiMedia extensions) Vector addition of eight bytes by the Intel PADDB mm0, mm1 instruction:

24 10-24 Chapter 10 - Advanced Computer Architecture Intel aliases the floating point registers as MMX registers. This means that the Pentium s 8 64-bit floating-point registers do double-duty as MMX registers. Motorola implements bit vector registers as a new set, separate and distinct from the floating-point registers. Intel and Motorola Vector Registers

28 10-28 Chapter 10 - Advanced Computer Architecture A PAL Device PLAs and PALs are similar except that the OR gates in a PAL have a fixed number of inputs and the inputs are not programmable. PALs are more prevalent than PLAs because they are easier to manufacture and are less complex.

29 10-29 Chapter 10 - Advanced Computer Architecture Complex Programmable Logic Device CPLDs are PAL-like or PLA-like blocks that can be combined with programmable interconnections. Commercial CPLDs may contain as many as 200,000 equivalent gates and have over 3,000 macrocells.

30 10-30 Chapter 10 - Advanced Computer Architecture Field Programmable Gate Array Unlike CPLDs, which employ large logic blocks and fewer interconnection options, FPGAs employ small logic blocks that can be programmably interconnected.
