Today’s Agenda What is architecture? Why is it important? What’s in this class? 2

Computer Architecture 3

What is architecture? • How do you build a machine that computes? • Quickly, safely, cheaply, efficiently, in technology X, for application Y, etc. • Architects develop new mechanism for performing and organizing “mechanical” computation 4

Why is architecture important? • For the world • Computer architecture provides the engines that power all of computing Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. -- Alfred North Whitehead 5

Why is architecture important? • For the world • Computer architecture provides the engines that power all of computing Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. -- Alfred North Whitehead • For you • As computer scientists, software engineers, and sophisticated users, understanding how computers work is essential • The processor is the most important piece of this story • Many performance (and efficiency) problems have their roots in architecture. 7

Current state of architecture

Moore’s Law • The number of transistors we can build in a fixed area of silicon doubles (roughly) every two years. Moore’s Law is the most important driver for historic CPU performance gains 19

Since 1940 20

Since 1940 50,000 x speedup >1,000,000,000 x density (Moore’s Law) 20

Since 1940 50,000 x speedup Plug boards -> Java >1,000,000,000 x density Hand assembling -> GCC (Moore’s Law) No OS -> Windows 7 20

Since 1940 50,000 x speedup Plug boards -> Java >1,000,000,000 x density Hand assembling -> GCC (Moore’s Law) No OS -> Windows 7 We have used this performance to make computers easier to use, easier to program, and to solve ever-more complicated problems. 20

The End of Clock Speed Scaling • Clock speed is the biggest contributor to power • Chip manufactures (Intel, esp.) pushed clock speeds very hard in the 90s and early 2000s. • Doubling the clock speed increases power by 2-8x • Clock speed scaling is essentially finished. • Most future performance improvements will be due to architectural and process technology improvements 22

The Rise of Parallelism • Multi-processors • If one CPU is fast, two must be faster! • They allow you to (in theory) double performance without changing the clock speed. • Seems simple, so why are becoming so important now • Speeding up a single CPU makes everything faster! • An application’s performance double every 18 months with no effort on the programmer’s part. • Getting performance out of a multiprocessor requires work. • Parallelizing code is difficult, it takes (lots of) work • There aren’t that many threads • Remember or look forward to cse120 24

Why This Class? 26

The Goal of a Degree in CS or CE (My $0.02) • To understand the components and abstractions that make up a modern computing system • To understand how they impact a system’s performance, efficiency, and usefulness • To be able to harness, modify, and extend them to solve problems effectively 27

Goals for this Class • Understand how CPUs run programs • How do we express the computation the CPU? • How does the CPU execute it? • How does the CPU support other system components (e.g., the OS)? • What techniques and technologies are involved and how do they work? • Understand why CPU performance (and other metrics) varies • How does CPU design impact performance? • What trade-offs are involved in designing a CPU? • How can we meaningfully measure and compare computer systems? • Understand why program performance varies • How do program characteristics affect performance? • How can we improve a programs performance by considering the CPU running it? • How do other system components impact program performance? 28

What’s in this Class • Instruction sets • The memory system • • MIPS Memory technologies • • x86 Caching • Operating system • ISAs and the compiler • The processor pipeline support • • Basic design Virtual memory • • Pipelining Exceptions, interrupts • • Dealing with hazards IO • Introduction to • Speculation and control • Measuring multiprocessors performance • Amdahl’s Law • Performance measurement • Metrics 29
