How Data Hazards Can Be Removed Effectively
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 7, Issue 9, September-2016 116 ISSN 2229-5518 How Data Hazards can be removed effectively Muhammad Zeeshan, Saadia Anayat, Rabia and Nabila Rehman Abstract—For fast Processing of instructions in computer architecture, the most frequently used technique is Pipelining technique, the Pipelining is consider an important implementation technique used in computer hardware for multi-processing of instructions. Although multiple instructions can be executed at the same time with the help of pipelining, but sometimes multi-processing create a critical situation that altered the normal CPU executions in expected way, sometime it may cause processing delay and produce incorrect computational results than expected. This situation is known as hazard. Pipelining processing increase the processing speed of the CPU but these Hazards that accrue due to multi-processing may sometime decrease the CPU processing. Hazards can be needed to handle properly at the beginning otherwise it causes serious damage to pipelining processing or overall performance of computation can be effected. Data hazard is one from three types of pipeline hazards. It may result in Race condition if we ignore a data hazard, so it is essential to resolve data hazards properly. In this paper, we tries to present some ideas to deal with data hazards are presented i.e. introduce idea how data hazards are harmful for processing and what is the cause of data hazards, why data hazard accord, how we remove data hazards effectively. While pipelining is very useful but there are several complications and serious issue that may occurred related to pipelining i.e. -

Computer Organization & Architecture Eie
COMPUTER ORGANIZATION & ARCHITECTURE EIE 411 Course Lecturer: Engr Banji Adedayo. Reg COREN. The characteristics of different computers vary considerably from category to category. Computers for data processing activities have different features than those with scientific features. Even computers configured within the same application area have variations in design. Computer architecture is the science of integrating those components to achieve a level of functionality and performance. It is logical organization or designs of the hardware that make up the computer system. The internal organization of a digital system is defined by the sequence of micro operations it performs on the data stored in its registers. The internal structure of a MICRO-PROCESSOR is called its architecture and includes the number lay out and functionality of registers, memory cell, decoders, controllers and clocks. HISTORY OF COMPUTER HARDWARE The first use of the word ‘Computer’ was recorded in 1613, referring to a person who carried out calculation or computation. A brief History: Computer as we all know 2day had its beginning with 19th century English Mathematics Professor named Chales Babage. He designed the analytical engine and it was this design that the basic frame work of the computer of today are based on. 1st Generation 1937-1946 The first electronic digital computer was built by Dr John V. Atanasoff & Berry Cliford (ABC). In 1943 an electronic computer named colossus was built for military. 1946 – The first general purpose digital computer- the Electronic Numerical Integrator and computer (ENIAC) was built. This computer weighed 30 tons and had 18,000 vacuum tubes which were used for processing. -

Recent advancements in the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology make it possible to implement the complete embedded system on a single FPGA chip. The fundamental component of an embedded system is a microprocessor. Soft-core processors are written in hardware description languages and functionally equivalent to an ordinary microprocessor. These soft-core processors are synthesized and implemented on the FPGA devices. In this paper, the OpenRISC 1200 processor is used, which is a 32-bit soft-core processor and Fig. 1.

Pipeline and Vector Processing
Computer Organization and Architecture Chapter 4 : Pipeline and Vector processing Chapter – 4 Pipeline and Vector Processing 4.1 Pipelining Pipelining is a technique of decomposing a sequential process into suboperations, with each subprocess being executed in a special dedicated segment that operates concurrently with all other segments. The overlapping of computation is made possible by associating a register with each segment in the pipeline. The registers provide isolation between each segment so that each can operate on distinct data simultaneously. Perhaps the simplest way of viewing the pipeline structure is to imagine that each segment consists of an input register followed by a combinational circuit. o The register holds the data. o The combinational circuit performs the suboperation in the particular segment. A clock is applied to all registers after enough time has elapsed to perform all segment activity. The pipeline organization will be demonstrated by means of a simple example. o To perform the combined multiply and add operations with a stream of numbers Ai * Bi + Ci for i = 1, 2, 3, …, 7 Each suboperation is to be implemented in a segment within a pipeline. R1 Ai, R2 Bi Input Ai and Bi R3 R1 * R2, R4 Ci Multiply and input Ci R5 R3 + R4 Add Ci to product Each segment has one or two registers and a combinational circuit as shown in Fig. 9-2. The five registers are loaded with new data every clock pulse. The effect of each clock is shown in Table 4-1. Compiled By: Er. Hari Aryal [[email protected]] Reference: W. Stallings | 1 Computer Organization and Architecture Chapter 4 : Pipeline and Vector processing Fig 4-1: Example of pipeline processing Table 4-1: Content of Registers in Pipeline Example General Considerations Any operation that can be decomposed into a sequence of suboperations of about the same complexity can be implemented by a pipeline processor. -
