哈佛结构

哈佛结构是一种将程序指令存储和数据存储分开的存储器结构，它的主要特点是将程序和数据存储在不同的存储空间中，即程序存储器和数据存储器是两个独立的存储器，每个存储器独立编址、独立访问，目的是为了减轻程序运行时的访存瓶颈。哈佛架构的中央处理器典型代表ARM9/10及后续ARMv8的处理器，例如：华为鲲鹏920处理器。

设备列表

厂商在制造芯片的过程中，从前端工序、到晶圆制造工序，之后再到封装和测试工序，主要用到的设备依次包括，单晶炉、气相外延炉、氧化炉、低压化学气相沉积系统、磁控溅射台、光刻机、刻蚀机、离子注入机、晶片减薄机、晶圆划片机、键合封装设备、测试机、分选机和探针台等

集成电路发明

  • 1952年，英国雷达研究所的科学家达默在一次会议上提出：可以把电子线路中的分立元器件，集中制作在一块半导体晶片上，一小块晶片就是一个完整电路，这样一来，电子线路的体积就可大大缩小，可靠性大幅提高。这就是初期集成电路的构想。
  • 1956年，美国材料科学专家富勒和赖斯发明了半导体生产的扩散工艺，这样就为发明集成电路提供了工艺技术基础。
  • 1958年9月，美国德州仪器公司的青年工程师杰克·基尔比（Jack Kilby），成功地将包括锗晶体管在内的五个元器件集成在一起，基于锗材料制作了一个叫做相移振荡器的简易集成电路，并于1959年2月申请了小型化的电子电路（Miniaturized Electronic Circuit）专利（专利号为No.31838743，批准时间为1964年6月26日），这就是世界上第一块锗集成电路。

  • 2000年，集成电路问世42年以后，人们终于了解到他和他的发明的价值，他被授予了诺贝尔物理学奖。诺贝尔奖评审委员会曾经这样评价基尔比：“为现代信息技术奠定了基础”。
  • 1959年7月，美国仙童半导体公司的诺伊斯，研究出一种利用二氧化硅屏蔽的扩散技术和PN结隔离技术，基于硅平面工艺发明了世界上第一块硅集成电路，并申请了基于硅平面工艺的集成电路发明专利（专利号为No.2981877，批准时间为1961年4月26日。虽然诺伊斯申请专利在基尔比之后，但批准在前）。
  • 基尔比和诺伊斯几乎在同一时间分别发明了集成电路，两人均被认为是集成电路的发明者，而诺伊斯发明的硅集成电路更适于商业化生产，使集成电路从此进入商业规模化生产阶段。

Intel Core i7 Wafer

  • 300mm wafer, 280 chips, 32nm technology
  • Each chip is 20.7 x 10.5 mm

img

Integrated Circuit Cost

Cost per die =\frac{\text { Cost per wafer }}{\text { Dies per wafer } \times \text { Yield }}

Dies per wafer \approx Wafer area/Die area

Yield =\frac{1}{(1+(\text { Defects per area } \times \text { Die area } / 2))^{2}}

成品率

Defects per area：单位面积缺陷

Die area：模具面积

Defining Performance

  • Which airplane has the best performance? 从不同的方面进行考察。

img

Response Time and Throughput

  • Response time响应时间
  • How long it takes to do a task(the time between the start and completion of a task)
  • Throughput吞吐量
  • Total work done per unit time
  • e.g., tasks/transactions/… per hour
  • How are response time and throughput affected by
  • Replacing the processor with a faster version? 改善处理器
  • Adding more processors to do separate tasks? 添加更多的处理器
  • Queue ？采用排队机制，改善吞吐量
  • We’ll focus on response time for now…

Relative Performance

Define Performance = 1/Execution Time

  • “X is n time faster than Y”
  • Performance _{X} / Performance _{Y} = Execution time _{Y} / Execution time _{X}=n

Example: time taken to run a program

  • 10s on A, 15s on B
  • Execution TimeB / Execution TimeA = 15s / 10s = 1.5
  • So A is 1.5 times faster than B

Measuring Execution Time

  • Elapsed time 消逝时间
  • Total response time, including all aspects
  • Processing, I/O, OS overhead, idle time
  • Determines system performance
  • CPU time（共享时,独自占用CPU时间）
  • Time spent processing a given job
  • Discounts I/O time, other jobs’ shares
  • Comprises user CPU time and system CPU time
  • Different programs are affected differently by CPU and system performance

CPU Clocking

Operation of digital hardware governed(掌控) by a constant-rate clock （数字同步电路）

img

  • Clock period: duration of a clock cycle
  • e.g., 250ps = 0.25ns = 250×10^–12s
  • Clock frequency (rate): cycles per second
  • e.g., 4.0GHz = 4000MHz = 4.0×10^9Hz

CPU Time

CPU Time = CPU Clock Cycles x Clock Cycle Time =

\frac{\text { CPU Clock Cycles }}{\text { Clock Rate }}

Performance improved by

  • Reducing number of clock cycles
  • Increasing clock rate
  • Hardware designer must often trade off(折中)clock rate against cycle count
CPU Time Example
  • Computer A: 2GHz clock, 10s CPU time
  • Designing Computer B
  • Aim for 6s CPU time
  • Can do faster clock, but causes 1.2 × clock cycles
  • How fast must Computer B clock be?

Clock Cycles _{A}= CPU Time _{A} \times Clock Rate _{A}

=

10 \mathrm{~s} \times 2 \mathrm{GHz}=20 \times 10^{9}

=

\frac{1.2 \times 20 \times 10^{9}}{6 \mathrm{~s}}=\frac{24 \times 10^{9}}{6 \mathrm{~s}}=4 \mathrm{GHz}

Instruction Count and CPI

Clock Cycles = Instruction Count \times Cycles per Instruction

CPUTime = Instruction Count \times CPI \times Clock Cycle Time

=\frac{\text { Instruction Count } \times \mathrm{CPI}}{\text { Clock Rate }}

  • Instruction Count for a program
  • Determined by program, ISA and compiler
  • Average cycles per instruction
  • Determined by CPU hardware
  • If different instructions have different CPI 指令具有不同CPIAverage CPI affected by instruction mix

CPI Example

  • Computer A: Cycle Time = 250ps, CPI = 2.0
  • Computer B: Cycle Time = 500ps, CPI = 1.2
  • Same ISA
  • Which is faster, and by how much?

img

CPI in More Detail

If different instruction classes take different numbers 每指令类CPI不同，且指令出现频率不同

\text { Clock Cycles }=\sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{n}\left(\mathrm{CPI}_{\mathrm{i}} \times \operatorname{Instruction~Count~}_{\mathrm{i}}\right)

Weighted average CPI(平均CPI)

\mathrm{CPI}=\frac{\text { Clock Cycles }}{\text { Instruction Count }}=\sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{\mathrm{n}}\left(\mathrm{CPI}_{\mathrm{i}} \times \frac{\text { Instruction Count }_{\mathrm{i}}}{\text { Instruction Count }}\right)

CPI Example

Performance Summary

\text { CPU Time }=\frac{\text { Instructions }}{\text { Program }} \times \frac{\text { Clock cycles }}{\text { Instruction }} \times \frac{\text { Seconds }}{\text { Clock cycle }}

Performance depends on

  • Algorithm: affects IC(指令数), possibly CPI
  • Programming language: affects IC, CPI
  • Compiler: affects IC, CPI
  • Instruction set architecture: affects IC, CPI, Tc

Power Trends

img

In CMOS IC technology

\text { Power }=\frac{1}{2} \text { Capacitive load } \times \text { Voltage }^{2} \times \text { Frequency }

Capacitive load:负载电容。

Reducing Power

Suppose a new CPU has

  • 85% of capacitive load of old CPU
  • 15% voltage and 15% frequency reduction

\frac{P_{\text {new }}}{P_{\text {old }}}=\frac{C_{\text {old }} \times 0.85 \times\left(V_{\text {old }} \times 0.85\right)^{2} \times F_{\text {old }} \times 0.85}{C_{\text {old }} \times V_{\text {old }}^{2} \times F_{\text {old }}}=0.85^{4}=0.52

  • The power wall (功率墙)
  • We can’t reduce voltage further 可能低压泄露
  • We can’t remove more heat 可能sleep
  • How else can we improve performance?

  • Multicore microprocessors
  • More than one processor per chip
  • Requires explicitly parallel programming

Pitfall(陷阱): Amdahl’s Law

Improving an aspect of a computer and expecting a proportional improvement in overall performance

T_{\text {improved }}=\frac{T_{\text {affected }}}{\text { improvement factor }}+T_{\text {unaffected }}

Example: multiply accounts for 80s/100s

Speedup(E)=1/{(1-P)+P/S}

Amdahl’s law主要的用`途是指出了在计算机体系结构设计过程中，某个部件的优化对整个结构的优化帮助是有上限的，这个极限就是当S->时, speedup(E)= 1/(1-P);也从另外一个方面说明了在体系结构的优化设计过程中，应该挑选对整体有重大影响的部件来进行优化，以得到更好的结果。

Fallacy谬误: Low Power at Idle

Look back at i7 power benchmark

  • At 100% load: 258W
  • At 50% load: 170W (66%)
  • At 10% load: 121W (47%)

Google data center

  • Mostly operates at 10% – 50% load
  • At 100% load less than 1% of the time

Consider designing processors to make power proportional to load

Pitfall: MIPS as a Performance Metric

MIPS: Millions of Instructions Per Second

  • Doesn’t account for 考虑
  • Differences in ISAs between computers
  • Differences in complexity between instructions

\begin{aligned} \text { MIPS } &=\frac{\text { Instruction count }}{\text { Execution time } \times 10^{6}} \\ &=\frac{\text { Instruction count }}{\frac{\text { Instruction count } \times \mathrm{CPI}}{\text { Clock rate }} \times 10^{6}}=\frac{\text { Clock rate }}{\mathrm{CPI} \times 10^{6}} \end{aligned}

  • CPI varies between programs on a given CPU

Concluding Remarks

Cost/performance is improving

  • Due to underlying technology development

Hierarchical layers of abstraction

  • In both hardware and software

Instruction set architecture

  • The hardware/software interface

Execution time: the best performance measure

Power is a limiting factor

  • Use parallelism to improve performance
