Old view of computer architecture:

Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) design i.e. decisions regarding:

registers, memory addressing, addressing modes, instruction operands, available operations, control flow instructions, instruction encoding
!!
Real computer architecture:

!! !!
!!
Specific requirements of the target machine Design to maximize performance within constraints: cost, power, and availability Includes ISA, microarchitecture, hardware

Bandwidth and Latency

!!
Bandwidth or throughput
!! !! !!
Total work done in a given time 10,000-25,000X improvement for processors 300-1200X improvement for memory and disks
!!
Latency or response time

!! !! !!
Time between start and completion of an event 30-80X improvement for processors 6-8X improvement for memory and disks

Transistors and Wires

!!
Feature size
Minimum size of transistor or wire in x or y dimension !! 10 microns in 1971 to .022 microns in 2013 !! Transistor performance scales linearly
!!
!!
Wire delay does not improve with feature size!
!!
Integration density scales quadraticly

Trends in Power and Energy
Power and Energy

!!
Problem: Get power in, get power out Thermal Design Power (TDP)
!! !! !!
!!
Characterizes sustained power consumption Used as target for power supply and cooling system Lower than peak power, higher than average power consumption
!!
Clock rate can be reduced dynamically to limit power consumption Energy per task is often a better measurement
!!

Dynamic Energy and Power

!!
Dynamic energy
!! !!
Transistor switch from 0 " 1 or 1 " 0 ! x Capacitive load x Voltage2
!!
Dynamic power
!!
! x Capacitive load x Voltage2 x Frequency switched
!!
Reducing clock rate reduces power, not energy
15
Power
!! !!
!!
!!
Intel 80386 consumed ~ 2 W 3.3 GHz Intel Core i7 consumes 130 W Heat must be dissipated from 1.5 x 1.5 cm chip This is the limit of what can be cooled by air

Reducing Power
!!
Techniques for reducing power:

!! !! !! !!
Do nothing well Dynamic Voltage-Frequency Scaling Low power state for DRAM, disks Overclocking, turning off cores
17
Static Power
!!
Static power consumption

!! !! !!
Currentstatic x Voltage Scales with number of transistors To reduce: power gating

Trends in Cost
!!
Cost driven down by learning curve

!!
Yield
!!
DRAM: price closely tracks cost Microprocessors: price depends on volume

!!
!!
10% less for each doubling of volume

Trends in Cost
Integrated Circuit Cost

!!
Integrated circuit

Typical performance metrics:

!! !!
Response time Throughput
!!
Speedup of X relative to Y
!!
Execution timeY / Execution timeX
!!
Execution time
!! !!

The Principle of Locality

!!
The Principle of Locality:

!!
Programs access a relatively small portion of the address space at any instant of time. Temporal Locality (Locality in Time):
!!
!!
Two Different Types of Locality:

!!
If an item is referenced, it will tend to be referenced again soon (e.g., loops, reuse) If an item is referenced, items whose addresses are close by tend to be referenced soon (e.g., straight-line code, array access)
!!
Spatial Locality (Locality in Space):

!!
!!
Last 30 years, hardware relied on locality for memory performance

Capacity Access Time Cost CPU Registers 100s Bytes 300 500 ps (0.3-0.5 ns) L1 and L2 Cache 10s-100s K Bytes ~1 ns - ~10 ns $1000s/ GByte Main Memory G Bytes 80ns- 200ns ~ $100/ GByte Disk 10s T Bytes, 10 ms (10,000,000 ns) ~ $1 / GByte Tape infinite sec-min ~$1 / GByte

Focus on the Common Case

!!
Common sense guides computer design

!!
Since its engineering, common sense is valuable
!!
In making a design trade-off, favor the frequent case over the infrequent case
!! !!
E.g., Instruction fetch and decode unit used more frequently than multiplier, so optimize it first. E.g., If database server has 50 disks / processor, storage dependability dominates system dependability, so optimize it 1st
!!
Frequent case is often simpler and can be done faster than the infrequent case
!! !!
E.g., overflow is rare when adding two numbers, so improve performance by optimizing more common case of no overflow May slow down overflow, but overall performance improved by optimizing for the normal case
!!
What is frequent case and how much performance improved by making case faster => Amdahls Law
27
Amdahls Law
& Fractionenhanced # ExTimenew = ExTimeold ( $(1 ' Fractionenhanced )+ Speedupenhanced ! % "
Speedupoverall =
ExTimeold = ExTimenew
(1 ! Fractionenhanced ) +
Fractionenhanced
Speedupenhanced
Best you could ever hope to do:

Speedupmaximum =
(1 - Fractionenhanced )
