Recall from Pipelining Review • Pipeline p CPI = Ideal pipeline pp CPI + Structural Stalls + Data Hazard Stalls + Control Stalls
– Ideal pipeline CPI: measure of the maximum performance attainable atta ab e by tthe e implementation p e e tat o – Structural hazards: HW cannot support this combination of instructions – Data D t h hazards: d Instruction I t ti depends d d on result lt off prior i instruction still in the pipeline – Control hazards: Caused by delay between the fetching of instructions and decisions about changes in control flow (branches and jumps)

Instruction Level Parallelism •
Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP): overlap the execution of instructions to improve performance
•
2 approaches to exploit ILP: 1) Rely on hardware to help discover and exploit the parallelism dynamically (e.g., Pentium 4, AMD Opteron, IBM Power) 2) Rely on software technology to find parallelism, statically at compile-time ((e.g., g , Itanium 2))

Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP) • Basic Block (BB) ILP is quite small – BB: a straight-line code sequence with no branches in except to the entry and no branches out except at the exit – average dynamic branch frequency 15% to 25% => 4 to 7 instructions execute between a pair of branches – Plus instructions in BB likely to depend on each other
• To obtain substantial performance enhancements, we must exploit ILP across multiple basic blocks • Simplest: loop-level parallelism to exploit parallelism among iterations of a loop. E.g., for (i=1; i
