Explore the in-depth architecture of the Pipeline Megacessor, covering top-level design, instruction fetch, decode, execution, memory, and write-back stages. We discuss the interconnection of high-level components, the importance of the pipeline, branch prediction, and memory hierarchy. Key components include the seven-segment and LCD displays, pipeline switches, and clock dividers. Learn how to implement efficient memory management using Python dictionaries for label-address mappings and the significance of instruction throughput. Gain insights into our teamwork and shared learning experiences.

TEAM SMASH The Pipelined Megacessor
Architectural View • Top Level Design • Pipeline Stages • Instruction Fetch • Instruction Decode • Execution • Data Memory • Register Write-back
High-Level Components • Talk about connection between high level components • Highlight our idea of the pipeline, branch predictor and memory hierarchy
Debug Components • Seven Segment Display • LCD Display • Pipeline value switch • Clock Divider
Significance of Pipeline • Increase instruction throughput
Branch Predictor • Explain the hardware involved
Significance of Branch Predictor • Predict what the next PC address will be. • Keeps the pipeline flowing • Our implementation – Always not taken • As suggested by Instructors • Simple approach but similar idea to more complex solution
Significance of Memory Hierarchy • Registers • only 32 but very fast • Cache • stores data from most frequently used main memory • Memory
Assembler • PYTHON!!!! • The dictionary data structure • regDict – register encoding • dataAddyDict – Data Label Address • branchAddyDict – Branch Label Address
Assembler • readData() • 2 Passes • Create dictionary of label-address mappings • Encode all data and output to mif • readText() • 2 Passes • Create BranchAddyDict • Encode all instructions using dictionaries
Assembly Code • Matrix Multiplier! • Snake it the size and two matrices • Multiply! • Wam bam output the diagonal
What we learned • From course, project and other people
ALSO WE ARE FREE TO TALK ABOUT WHATEVER WE WANT!!! • I say we discuss the renegades of funk and how they contributed to our success!
