  • 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.

  • The Central Processing Unit(CPU). the Brain of Any Computer System Is the CPU
    Computer Fundamentals 1'stage Lec. (8 ) College of Computer Technology Dept.Information Networks The central processing unit(CPU). The brain of any computer system is the CPU. It controls the functioning of the other units and process the data. The CPU is sometimes called the processor, or in the personal computer field called “microprocessor”. It is a single integrated circuit that contains all the electronics needed to execute a program. The processor calculates (add, multiplies and so on), performs logical operations (compares numbers and make decisions), and controls the transfer of data among devices. The processor acts as the controller of all actions or services provided by the system. Processor actions are synchronized to its clock input. A clock signal consists of clock cycles. The time to complete a clock cycle is called the clock period. Normally, we use the clock frequency, which is the inverse of the clock period, to specify the clock. The clock frequency is measured in Hertz, which represents one cycle/second. Hertz is abbreviated as Hz. Usually, we use mega Hertz (MHz) and giga Hertz (GHz) as in 1.8 GHz Pentium. The processor can be thought of as executing the following cycle forever: 1. Fetch an instruction from the memory, 2. Decode the instruction (i.e., determine the instruction type), 3. Execute the instruction (i.e., perform the action specified by the instruction). Execution of an instruction involves fetching any required operands, performing the specified operation, and writing the results back. This process is often referred to as the fetch- execute cycle, or simply the execution cycle.

To reduce the cycle time impact, it critical to overall performance in wide-issue microprocessors, was implemented as two 8-r/8-w split register files [9], see because these terms grow superlinearly with the number of read Figure 1.

Figure 1-(b) shows it presents two techniques to reduce the number of ports of a register implemented as the two 8-r/8-w register files. The monolithic file intended for a wide-issue microprocessor without hardly any register file design is slow because each memory cell in the impact on IPC. Our results show that it is possible to replace a register file has to drive a large number of bit-lines. In register file with 16 read and 8 write ports, intended for an eight- contrast, the split register file is fast, but duplicates the issue processor, with a register file with just 8 read and 8 write contents of the register file in two memory arrays, resulting in ports so that the impact on IPC is a few percent.

  • 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.
