Example 7.5

Multicycle Processor CPI

The SPECINT2000 benchmark consists of approximately 25% loads, 10% stores, 13% branches, and 52% data-processing instructions.² Determine the average CPI for this benchmark.

Solution

The average CPI is the sum over each instruction of the CPI for that instruction multiplied by the fraction of the time that instruction is used. For this benchmark, average CPI=(0.13)(3)+(0.52+0.10)(4)+(0.25)(5)=4.12. This is better than the worst-case CPI of 5, which would be required if all instructions took the same time.

Recall that we designed the multicycle processor so that each cycle involved one ALU operation, ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
