Best to hand in all solutions through the online submission mechansim of the course web
page. No fancy diagramming is required; you can scan something hand-drawn, or use any
simple online tool of your choosing. Just make sure you end up with a common format
that will be easy to handle, for example .pdf, .jpg, .txt or even .doc or .docx if you must.
Also make sure that your submission name is appropriate to the le type, e.g., 7.pdf or
7.txt, etc. (You also can submit directly on shannon/knuth if you are working there by
copying your le to the directory ~rig/c264hw7sub with lename in the form Email-X.EXT,
where Email is your email address, X is a string of eight or more \random" alphanumeric
characters, and EXT is the le type (i.e. do a command similar to, the following with the
correct replacements for EXT, YOUREMAILADDRESS, and RANDOM:
cp 7.EXT ~rig/c264hw7sub/YOUREMAILADDRESS-RANDOM.EXT
)
HW7-1 (43 points) Suppose we wish to write a procedure that computes the inner
product of two vectors u and v. An abstract version of the function has a CPE of 16{17
with x86-64 and 26{29 with IA32 for integer, single-precision, and double-precision data. By
doing the same sort of transformations we did to transform the abstract program combine1
into the more ecient combine4, we get the following code:
void inner4(vec_ptr u, vec_ptr v, data t *dest) {
long int i;
int length = vec_length(u);
data_t *udata = get_vec_start(u);
data_t *vdata = get_vec_start(v);
data_t sum = (data_t) 0;
for (i = 0; i < length; i++){
sum = sum + udata[i] * vdata[i];
}
*dest = sum;
}
Our measurements show that this function has a CPE of 3.00 for integer and
oating-
point data. For data type float, the x86-64 assembly code for the inner loop is as follows
(udata in %rbx, vdata in %rax, limit in %rcx, i in %rdx, sum in %xmm1):
.L87: ; loop:
movss (%rbx,%rdx,4), %xmm0 ; Get udata[i]
mulss (%rax,%rdx,4), %xmm0 ; Multiply by vdata[i]
addss (%xmm0, %xmm1 ; Add to sum
addq $1, %rdx ; Increment i
cmpq %rcx, %rdx ; Compare i:limit
jl .L87 ; If <, goto loop
Assume that the functional units have the latencies and issue times given in Figure 5.12
(and in the course notes).
A. Diagram how this instruction sequence would be decoded into operations, and show how
the data dependencies between them would create a critical path of operations in the style
of Figures 5.13 (fpb-sequential.ppt) and 5.14 (fpb-
ow.ppt and fpb-
ow-abstract.ppt). (25
points.)
B. For data type float, what lower bound on the CPE is determined by the critical path?
(6 points.)
C. Assuming similar instruction sequences for the integer code as well, what lower bound on
the CPE is determined by the critical path for integer data? (6 points.)
D. Explain how the two
oating-point versions can have CPEs of 3.00 even though the
multiplication operation requires either 4 or 5 cycles. (6 points.)
HW7-2 (27 points) Write a version of the inner product procedure described in the
previous problem that uses four-way loop unrolling. (11 points.)
For x86-64, our measurements of the unrolled version give a CPE of 2.00 for integer data
but still 3.00 for both single and double precision
oating point.
A. Explain why any version of any inner product procedure cannot achieve a CPE less than
2.00. (8 points.)
B. Explain why the performance for
oating-point data did not improve with loop unrolling.
(8 points.)
