Chapter 5.1, Problem 5.1PP
Program Plan Intro

Given C code:

void swap(long *xp, long *yp)

{

*xp = *xp + *yp;

*yp = *xp - *yp;

*xp = *xp - *yp;

}

Memory aliasing:

  • It denotes a case where two pointers might designate to memory location that is same.
  • The compiler should assume that unlike pointers might be aliased for safe optimizations.
  • The program aspects that could limit chances for a compiler in generating optimized code denote optimization blockers.
  • If a compiler is unable to determine whether two pointers might be aliased, it should adopt that either case would be possible.
  • The possible optimization set is been limited in this case.

(c) The following Sigma 16 program has been loaded into memory at address 0000: load R3,y[RO] load R4,x[RO] lea R5, 2[RO] sub R1,R4,R3 mul R2,R1,R5 store R2,w[RO] trap RO,RO,RO x data 10 y data 12 w data 0 Show the content of the memory writing hexadecimal representation and using a table with 3 columns: the memory address, the contents of that memory address, and an explanation of what "the content (of that memory address) means". As a reference, here are the opcodes for RRR instructions: add 0, sub 1, mul 2, trap c. And here the opcodes for RX instructions: lea 0, load 1, store 2. [7]

Problem 1 jt"¡1, The following program is run on a machine where memory reference instructions take 8 cycles, arithmetic instructions take 6 cycles, and branches take 3 cycles. It is known that the “sqrt" procedure executes 7 instructions and requires 30 clock cycles. $s0, 20 ($s2) $t1, $s3, $s3 lw add j L1 $t1, $t1, $t1 $t1, $t1, $6 $a0, 0 ($t1) sqrt addi $s3, $s3, 1 beq $s0, $v0, Exit add L1: add lw jal (a). How long will it take to run this program if the machine has a 500 MHz clock? (b). What is the CPI for this program?
