Single Cycle Datapath
Adapted from the lecture notes of John Kubiatowicz(UCB)
and Hank Walker (TAMU)
The Big Picture: The Performance Perspective° Performance of a machine is determined by:
• Instruction count
• Clock cycle time
• Clock cycles per instruction
° Processor design (datapath and control) will determine:
• Clock cycle time
• Clock cycles per instruction
° Single cycle processor:
• Advantage: One clock cycle per instruction
• Disadvantage: long cycle time
CPI
Inst. Count Cycle Time
How to Design a Processor: step-by-step
° 1. Analyze instruction set => datapath requirements
• the meaning of each instruction is given by the register transfers
• datapath must include storage element for ISA registers
- possibly more
• datapath must support each register transfer
° 2. Select set of datapath components and establish clocking methodology
° 3. Assemble datapath meeting the requirements
° 4. Analyze implementation of each instruction to determine setting of control points that effects the register transfer.
° 5. Assemble the control logic
The MIPS Instruction Formats
° All MIPS instructions are 32 bits long. The three instruction formats:
• R-type
• I-type
• J-type
° The different fields are:
• op: operation of the instruction
• rs, rt, rd: the source and destination register specifiers
• shamt: shift amount
• funct: selects the variant of the operation in the “op” field
• address / immediate: address offset or immediate value
• target address: target address of the jump instruction

• subu rd, rs, rt
° OR Immediate:
• ori rt, rs, imm16
° LOAD and STORE Word
• lw rt, rs, imm16
• sw rt, rs, imm16
° BRANCH:

Logical Register Transfers
° RTL gives the meaning of the instructions
° All start by fetching the instructionop | rs | rt | rd | shamt | funct = MEM[ PC ]
op | rs | rt | Imm16 = MEM[ PC ]
inst Register Transfers
addu R[rd] <– R[rs] + R[rt]; PC <– PC + 4
subu R[rd] <– R[rs] – R[rt]; PC <– PC + 4
ori R[rt] <– R[rs] | zero_ext(Imm16); PC <– PC + 4
lw R[rt] <– MEM[ R[rs] + sign_ext(Imm16)]; PC <– PC + 4
sw MEM[ R[rs] + sign_ext(Imm16) ] <– R[rt]; PC <– PC + 4
beq if ( R[rs] == R[rt] ) then PC <– PC + 4 +sign_ext(Imm16)] || 00
else PC <– PC + 4
Step 1: Requirements of the Instruction Set
° Memory
• instruction & data
° Registers (32 x 32)
• read RS
• read RT
• Write RT or RD
° PC
° Extender
° Add and Sub register or extended immediate
° Add 4 or extended immediate to PC

Storage Element: Register (Basic Building Block)
° Register
• Similar to the D Flip Flop except
- 32-bit input and output
- Write Enable input
• Write Enable:
- negated (0): Data Out will not change
- asserted (1): Data Out will become Data In

Data Out
Verilog Implementation of Basic Blocks
module register(data_out, clk, data_in, write_en); input [31:0] data_in;
input clk, write_en;output [31:0] data_out;
reg [31:0] data_out;
always @(posedge clk)begin
if (write_en)data_out = data_in;
end endmodule
Storage Element: Register File
° Register File consists of 32 registers:
• Two 32-bit output busses:
busA and busB
• One 32-bit input bus: busW
° Register is selected by:
• RA (number) selects the register to put on busA (data)
• RB (number) selects the register to put on busB (data)
• RW (number) selects the register to be writtenvia busW (data) when Write Enable is 1
° Clock input (CLK)
• The CLK input is a factor ONLY during write operation
• During read operation, behaves as a combinational logic block:
- RA or RB valid => busA or busB valid after “access time.”

Storage Element: Idealized Memory
° Memory (idealized)
• One input bus: Data In
• One output bus: Data Out
° Memory word is selected by:
• Address selects the word to put on Data Out
• Write Enable = 1: address selects the memoryword to be written via the Data In bus
° Clock input (CLK)
• The CLK input is a factor ONLY during write operation
• During read operation, behaves as a combinational logic block:
- Address valid => Data Out valid after “access time.”

Clocking Methodology (Simple View)

° CLK-to-Q + Longest Delay Path < Cycle Time
° What is the longest path?

° Read Operands and Execute Operation
3a: Overview of the Instruction Fetch Unit
° The common RTL operations
• Fetch the Instruction: mem[PC]
• Update the program counter:
- Sequential Code: PC <- PC + 4
- Branch and Jump: PC <- “something else”

An Abstract View of the Critical Path° Register file and ideal memory:
• The CLK input is a factor ONLY during write operation
• During read operation, behave as combinational logic:
- Address valid => Output valid after “access time.”
Critical Path (Load Operation) = PC’s Clk-to-Q + Instruction Memory’s Access Time + Register File’s Access Time + ALU to Perform a 32-bit Add + Data Memory Access Time + Setup Time for Register File Write + Clock Skew

The Encoding of ALUop
° In this exercise, ALUop has to be 2 bits wide to represent:
• (1) “R-type” instructions
• “I-type” instructions that require the ALU to perform:
- (2) Or, (3) Add, and (4) Subtract
° To implement the full MIPS ISA, ALUop has to be 3 bits to represent:
• (1) “R-type” instructions
• “I-type” instructions that require the ALU to perform:
- (2) Or, (3) Add, (4) Subtract, and (5) And (Example: andi)

Recap: An Abstract View of the Critical Path (Load)° Register file and ideal memory:
• The CLK input is a factor ONLY during write operation
• During read operation, behave as combinational logic:
- Address valid => Output valid after “access time.”
Critical Path (Load Operation) = PC’s Clk-to-Q + Instruction Memory’s Access Time + Register File’s Access Time + ALU to Perform a 32-bit Add + Data Memory Access Time + Setup Time for Register File Write + Clock Skew

Drawback of this Single Cycle Processor
° Long cycle time:
• Cycle time must be long enough for the load instruction:
PC’s Clock -to-Q +
Instruction Memory Access Time +
Register File Access Time +
ALU Delay (address calculation) +
Data Memory Access Time +
Register File Setup Time +
Clock Skew
° Cycle time for load is much longer than needed for all other instructions
° Single cycle datapath => CPI=1, CCT => long
° 5 steps to design a processor• 1. Analyze instruction set => datapath requirements
• 2. Select set of datapath components & establish clock methodology
• 3. Assemble datapath meeting the requirements
• 4. Analyze implementation of each instruction to determine setting of control points that effects the register transfer.
• 5. Assemble the control logic
° Control is the hard part
° MIPS makes control easier• Instructions same size
• Source registers always in same place
• Immediates same size, location
• Operations always on registers/immediates
