1. Parallel Computing
Parallelism, playing a role as important as Memory Hierarchy, can be implemented in different levels in a computer architecture:
What I want to talk about now is the Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP), which can be implemented by pipelining with forwarding unit and hazard detection unit in MIPS32 architecture as we have learned in EI209. The issue at that time was to address three types of pipeline hazard: Data Hazard, Structural Hazard and Control Hazard.
However, ILP can be advanced if we allow out-of-order execution of instructions so that data hazard stalls can be further reduced. This is what we call Dynamic Scheduling, which can address Name Dependences in a block of program. There are another two strategies called Dynamic Branch Prediction and Speculation, which can minimize control stalls.
Now I will show you my demo programs of two ILP instances that make good use of Dynamic Scheduling: one is Scoreboard Algorithm in CDC6600, another is Tomasulo Algorithm in IBM360.
