  3. Parallelism • Introduced at various levels • Within CPU chip (multiple instructions per cycle) • Instruction level VLIW (Very Long Instruction word) • Superscalar • On Chip Multithreading • Single chip multiprocessors • Extra CPU boards ( • Multiprocessor/Multicomputer • Computer grids • Tightly Coupled – computationally intimate • Loosely Coupled – computationally remote

  4. Instruction-Level Parallelism (a) A CPU pipeline. (b) A sequence of VLIW instructions. (c) An instruction stream with bundles marked.

  5. The TriMedia VLIW CPU (1) A typical TriMedia instruction, showing five possible operations.

  9. Multithreading • Fine-grained multithreading • Run multiple threads one instruction from each • Will never stall if enough active threads • Requires hardware to track which instruction is from which thread • Coarse-grain multithreading • Run thread until stall and switch (one cycle wasted) • Simultaneous multithreading • Coarse grain with no cycle wasted • Hyperthreading • 5% increase in size give 25% gain • Resource sharing • Partitioned full resource sharing • Threshold sharing

  10. On-Chip Multithreading (1) (a) – (c) Three threads. The empty boxes indicated that the thread has stalled waiting for memory. (d) Fine-grained multithreading. (e) Coarse-grained multithreading.

  13. Single-Chip Multiprocessor • Two areas of interest servers and consumer electronics • Homogeneous chips • 2 piplines, one CPU • 2 CPU (same design) • Hetrogeneous chips • CPU’s for DVD player or CELL phones • More software => slower but cheaper • Many different cores (essentially libraries)

  14. Sample chip • Cores on a chip for DVD player: • Control • MPEG video • Audio decoder • Video encoder • Disk controller • Cache Cores require interconnect IBM CoreConnect AMBA Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture VCI Virtual Component Interconnect OCP-IP Open Core Protocol

  18. Coprocessors • Come in a variety of sizes • Separate cabinets for mainframes • Separate boards • Separate chips • Primary purpose to offload work and assist main processor • Different types • I/O • DMA • Floating point • Network • Graphics • Encryption

  19. Introduction to Networking (1) How users are connected to servers on the Internet.

  20. Networks • LAN – local area network • WAN – Wide area network • Packet – chunk of data on network 64-1500 bytes • Store-and-forward packet switching – what a router does • Internet – series of WAN’s linked by routers • ISP – Internet service provider • Firewall – specialized computer that filters traffic • Protocols – set of formats, exchange sequences, and rules • HTTP – HyperText Transfer Protocol • TCP – Transmission Control Protocol • IP – Internet protocol

  21. Networks • CRC – Cyclic Redundancy Check • TCP Header – information about data for TCP level • IP header – routing header source, destination, hops • Ethernet Header Next hop address, address, CRC • ASIC – Application Specific Integrated Circuit • FPGA – Field programmable Gate Array • Network processor – programmable device that handles incoming and outgoing packets a wire speed • PPE – Protocol/Programmable/Packet Processing Engines

  28. Shared-Memory Multiprocessors • Multiprocessor – has shared memory • SMP (Symetric Multiprocessor) – every multiprocessor can access any I/O device • Multicomputer – (distributed memory system) – each computer has it’s own memory • Multiprocessor – has one address space • Multicomputer has one address space per computer • Multicomputers pass messages to communicate • Ease or programming vs ease of construction • DSM – distributed shared memory page fault memory for distributed computers

  34. Consistency Models • How hardware and software will work with memory • Strict Consistency any read of location X returns the most recent value written to location X • Sequential Consistency – values will be returned in the order they are written (true order • Processor consistency – Writes by any CPU are seen in the order they are written • For every memory word, all CPU see all writes to it in the same order • Weak Consistency – no guarantee unless synchronization is used. • Release Consistency writes must occur before critical section is reentered.

  35. Sequential Consistency (a) Two CPUs writing and two CPUs reading a common memory word. (b) - (d) Three possible ways the two writes and four reads might be interleaved in time.
