5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define structural hazards in your own words.
Think about resource availability.
What is a RAW hazard?
Consider the order of instructions.
What occurs when a processor has insufficient resources for all active instructions in a pipeline?
Focus on resource availability.
True or False: A RAW hazard occurs when an instruction reads data before the prior instruction writes it.
Think about the order of operations.
Design a multi-cycle execution example that illustrates the impact of all three hazard types (structural, RAW, WAR). Explain the timing and how these hazards can interrupt program execution.
Think about a sequence of instructions and shared resource usage.
Discuss how strategies like resource duplication and instruction scheduling could mitigate stalls. Provide a detailed strategy for improving pipeline efficiency.
Consider how rearranging instructions could optimize current resource usage.
