CSE 30 -- Lecture 13 -- Nov 18


Pipelines. See chapter 6. Branch delay slot in raw machine code. Load delay; bubbles in the pipe; stalling. Briefly mentioned superscalar, multiple instruction issue architectures. Noted how different pipeline depths would require different numbers of delay slots, so having a branch delay slot exposes a detail of the implementation of the instruction set architecture which should not have been.
