Write the Integer Instruction Pairing Rules of Pentium.
written 7.0 years ago by | • modified 7.0 years ago |
To issue two instructions simultaneously they must satisfy the following conditions:
i)Both instructions in the pair must be “simple”.
ii)There must be no read-after-write(RAW) or write-after-write register(WAW) dependencies
RAW:
i1. R2 <- R1 + R3
i2. R4 <- R2 + R3
WAW:
i1. R2 R4 + R7
i2. R2 R1 + R3
iii)Neither instruction may contain both a displacement and an immediate
iv)Instruction with prefixes (lock, repne) can only occur in the u-pipe
