How do you measure performance of a computer?
How do you make a computer fast?
HKU EEE ELEC3441 – HS 2
Ways to measure Performance
Execution Time Throughput
Time to finish a task
Number of tasks finish per unit time
n Execution time (response time) ≠ Throughput n We will focus on execution time in this course
HKU EEE ELEC3441 – HS 3
Relative Performance
n Define performance of a computer as
1 ExecutionTime
Performance =
n Computer B is n times faster than Computer A if:
n = PerformanceB = ExecutionTimeA PerformanceA ExecutionTimeB
HKU EEE ELEC3441 – HS 4

Quick Check
n Computer A finishes a task in 5s, Computer B finishes the same task in 4s. Which one is faster, by how much?
PerformanceB = ExecutionTimeA = 5 =1.25 PerformanceA ExecutionTimeB 4
Computer B is 1.25 times faster than Computer A
HKU EEE ELEC3441 – HS 5
Ways to Measure Execution Time
n Wall Clock Time (Elapse Time)
• The total time a user experiences that a computer takes to
finish a task
• Includes OS overhead, I/O, idle time, time shared with other users
n CPU Time
• The time spent on a user task in the CPU
• User CPU + OS CPU time
• Does not include I/O, time spent by other users, etc

How can we determine CPU time needed to execute a program?
CPUTime = # of instruction × # of cycle × time program instruction cycle
HKU EEE ELEC3441 – HS

The Iron Law
CPU Time – Step 1
CPUTime = CycleCount × CycleTime
CycleCount ClockFrequency
n Most modern CPUs are synchronous digital systems
n The time needs to finish executing a task is determined by the number of cycles needed for that ask, multiply by the cycle time.

Synchronous Sequential Circuits
n A synchronous sequential circuit contains exactly 1 clock signal
n All state elements are connected to the same clock signal
• è the state of the entire circuit is updated at the same time n Common form of synchronous sequential circuits:

Clock Signal
n A clock signal is particularly important signal in a synchronous sequential circuit
• It controls the action of all DFFs
n A clock signal toggles between ‘0’ and ‘1’
periodically
n The frequency of the toggling determines the maximum speed of the circuit

E.g.: in the accumulator example earlier, the output S cannot change faster than the clock frequency

n In a synchronous sequential circuit, signal changes occur only during clock edge
n All signals are therefore synchronized to change values right after a clock edge
n In the above example, need to make sure correct value of y available BEFORE next clock edge
• Avoid glitches

Timing in Synchronous Circuits
n In general, the propagation

any two registers must be

From glitch example
shorter than the clock period
n The longest such path is called the critical path of the circuit
n The critical path determines the maximum clock speed

CPU Time – Step 1 – Summary
CPUTime = CycleCount × CycleTime = n To improve performance:
1. Increase clock frequency 2. Reduce cycle count
CycleCount ClockFrequency
n Increase clock freq è shorter critical path è less work accomplished in 1 cycleèmore cycles needed

How many cycles does it take to finish a program?
HKU EEE ELEC3441 – HS 13
CPU Time – Step 2 – Cycle Per Instruction (CPI)
CycleCount = InstructionCount × CyclePerInstruction
n Program A has 2000 instructions, each instruction takes 2 cycles to finish. How many cycles does it take to complete Program A?
n Program B has 3000 instructions. 2000 of them takes 2 cycles and 1000 of them takes 1 cycle. How many cycles does the program take to finish?
HKU EEE ELEC3441 – HS 14
Average CPI
n In general, different machine instructions may take different amount of time to complete.
n Assuming n classes of instructions, then total clock cycle:

CISC
n ISA includes complex instructions

hardware
n Includes complex addressing mode
• Mem-reg; mem-mem; indirect; relative; double-indirect..
n Hardware implement complex instructions using multiple clock cycles
• microcode
n One promise of CISC ISA is that it allows shorter compiled code and make compiler easier.
• Still relevant today in embedded systems
n Drawback:
• Less attractive as compiler techniques improve
• Complex hardwareèslow

RISC
n ISA specifies simple instructions • Mostlyregister-registertransfer
• Simpleaddressingmode
n Simpler hardware design
• Allowshardwareoptimization • Fasterhardwareoverall
• Allowseasypipelining

Amdahl’s Law Review
n Describes the overall speedup of a system due to speed improvement that applies to a portion of the system.
n Let P be the portion of the system that can be spedupbyafactorofS, 0≤P≤1
n Amdahl’s Law stays that the overall speedup is: 1
(1 − P ) + P S
n E.g.: P = 50%, S=100 è speedup = 1.98x

HKU EEE ELEC3441 – HS 30
Amdahl’s Law Implications
Can we get to a speedup of 10 with P=0.9?
n In most applications, only portion of the computation can be sped up
• improved hardware designs • parallelization
n Amdahl’s Law è max speedup is limited by P
• If only small portion of program can be sped up, then it
doesn’t matter how large S is

Benchmark Programs
n A benchmark suite is a set of programs used to compare processor performance
n Need to be representative of typical workload n Kernel vs whole application
• Recall Amdahl’s Law
n Avoid over optimization for specific benchmark
n SPEC benchmark
• Several benchmark suites commonly used in computer
architecture research
• E.g. SPEC CPU2006
