Memory Technology and Introduction to Cache

Primary technology today: transistor RAM (text, section C.9)
static RAM (SRAM):
  • uses flip-flops, like a register file
  • non-destructive read-out
  • fast (down to 1 ns access time for small memories)
dynamic RAM (DRAM):
  • uses a single transistor to store each bit
  • simpler structure makes memory cheaper (now < 5 cents/MB)
  • and allows for larger capacity chips (now typically 1 - 2 Gb on a chip)
  • destructive read-out
  • requires regular refresh
  • slower (access time for random word (latency) as high as 50 ns)
Large DRAMs are organized as a 2-dimensional array;  bits in the same row can be accessed faster than random bits.

Recent DRAMs aim to improve streaming rate -- rate at which successive bytes can be read out -- through interfaces such as SDRAMs (synchronous DRAMs -- DRAMs operating synchronously with CPU clock) and DDR DRAMS (double data rate DRAMs). For some applications, memory does not have to change --- use ROM (read-only memory).
Static and dynamic RAM are both volatile: data disappears when power is lost. For some applications, data must be preserved, so a special (slow) non-volatile RAM is used.

Caches

Memory Hierarchy (Text, Section 5.1)

There is a trade-off between memory speed, cost, and capacity:
  • SRAM -- fast, expensive, small (smaller SRAMs are faster)
  • DRAM
  • disk -- slow, large, cheap
A cost effective system must have a mix of all of these memories, which means that the system must manage its data so that it is rapidly available when it is needed. In earlier machines, all of this memory management was done explicitly by the programmer; now more of it is done automatically and invisibly by the system. The ideal is to create a system with the cost and capacity of the cheapest technology along with the speed of the fastest.

Locality

If memory access was entirely random, automatic memory management would not be possible. Management relies on:
  • temporal locality: if a program referenced a location, it is more likely to reference this location again in the near future than it is to reference another random location
  • spatial locality: if a program referenced a location, it is more likely to reference nearby locations in the near future than it is to reference other random locations

Cache (Text, Section 5.2)

A cache is an (automatically-managed) level of memory between main memory and the CPU (registers). The goal with a cache is to get the speed of a small SRAM with the capacity of main memory. Each entry in the cache includes the data, the memory address (or a partial address, called the tag), and a valid bit.
One issue in cache design is cache addressing:  determining where a word from main memory may be placed in the cache (Fig. 5.13).
  • fully associative:
    • any word of memory can be stored into any word of the cache
    • not practical except for very small caches
    • if cache is full, evict least recently used entry in cache
  • direct mapped
    • if cache has N words, location k of memory goes into word (k mod N) of cache
    • simplest cache design (Fig. 5.7) (or see Prof. Gottlieb's diagrams)
    • conflict between memory locations with same (k mod N) reduces performance, as compared to fully associative cache
  • set associative
    • typical designs are 2-way or 4-way set associative
    • somewhat greater complexity than direct mapped (more comparators and multiplexers) (Fig. 5.17 or Prof. Gottlieb's diagrams)
    • for 2-way, organize cache as S=N/2 sets of 2 words each
    • location k of memory goes into set (k mod S) of cache
    • approaches performance of fully associative

Multi-cores, multi-threading, multiprocessors

The limits of single-thread performance

  • As discussed before, CPU frequencies are no longer increasing because of heat limitations
  • Data and control dependencies limit the level of single-thread (micro) parallelism
  • Together these sharply limit single-thread performance
  • So increased performance must come from multi-thread (macro) parallelism
If we can effectively use multi-thread parallellism, it may even be beneficial to employ less-than-maximal single-thread-performance
  • power consumption is an important factor in costs for large systems (an extreme ex.:  the Cray Jaguar consumes 7 megawatts)
  • systems are now benchmarked in operations per second per watt (SPECpower;  text, pp. 49-50)

Providing multiple threads

Multiple threads can be provided by
  • multithreading a single core
  • putting multiple cores on a chip
  • putting multiiple chips in a system
Multithreading (text, sec. 7.5)
  • allows multiple threads to share functional units of a single processor
  • a separate copy of process state (PC, registers) is kept for each thread
  • fine-grain multithreading switches threads after each instruction
    • reduces stalls due to data hazards, cache misses
  • coarse-grain multithreading switches only on stalls
  • simultaneous multithreading takes advantage of functional unit parallelism on dynamically-scheduled,, multiple-issue processors by running instructions from multiple threads simultaneously
  • many current CPUs support multithreading
    • Sun UltraSPARC T2 chip (2007) has 8 cores which can each run 8 threads
      • relatively simple cores, small cache
      • well designed for server market
    • Intel has "hyperthreading" with 2 threads per core on Core i7 and Atom
Multiple cores per chip
  • 2, 4, and 6 cores per chip now common
  • steady increase reflecting Moore's law
  • Intel just anounced a prototype 48-core chip
Multiple chips in a system
  • 2 or 4 processor chips on a board
  • with small server boards ("blades"), up to 128 blades in a rack

Using multiple threads:  algorithms and applications

Applications differ in the degree to which they can be parallelized and the communication required between threads
  • web servers are very favorable:  lots of parallelism (multiple users), little communication
  • physical simulations (weather, nuclear, biological, fluid flow [planes]) -- parallelize by dividing space, communicate boundary values
Amdahl's law (text, p. 51):
  • if we speed up a fraction P of our program by a factor of S, overall speedup is
                                1 / ( (1 - P) + (P / S) )
  • with lots of threads, speed-up of overall program is often limited by portion that remains sequential

Communication (text, sec. 7.3 and 7.4)

Shared-memory multiprocessors
  • provide a single address space seen by all processors
  • generally the case for multithreading and multicore
  • supports a high degree of communication:  processes communicate through shared variables in memory
  • facilitates conversion of serial programs to parallel
  • requires considerable hardware to handle heavy communication
    • bus is cheap but communication bottleneck
    • crossbar switch is expensive
    • intermediate networks (2d grid, n-cube (text, sec. 7.8)) provide intermediate solutions
  • uniform memory architecture:  all memory has roughly the same access time
  • non-uniform memory architecture:  some memory can be accessed much more quickly (typically, local to processor)
Message passing multiprocessors
  • requires explicit sending and receiving operations for communication between processors

Time and Frequency for Computer Architecture

Types of computers

Digital vs. analog computer systems: we will only discuss digital systems (systems where signals take on only a discrete number of states, rather than a continuous range of values) Binary nature of essentially all hardware components: switches which are open or closed, bistable memory elements (which hold a single bit of information)
Electronic systems (as contrasted to mechanical or fluidic computers): information represented by electical signals
  • define correspondence between 0/1 and particular values of voltage or current
  • basic element is a switch: device whereby one electrical signal can be used to control another
  • switches can be used to perform logical functions (and, or, not)

Time and frequency

Time is measured in seconds and in fractions of a second:
millisecond (ms): 0.001 second
microsecond (us): 0.000 001 second
nanosecond (ns): 0.000 000 001 second
picoseconds (ps): 0.000 000 000 001 second
For a repetitive phenomenon, the rate at which it repeats is the frequency, measured in cycles per second or Hertz. For higher frequencies we have
1 kilohertz (kHz) = 1 000 cycles / second
1 megahertz (MHz) = 1 000 000 cycles / second
1 gigahertz (GHz) = 1 000 000 000 cycles / second
There is a reciprocal relationship between frequency and the time for a cycle (the 'period'):
frequency = 1 / clock period
clock period = 1 / frequency
For example, if a CPU operates at 100 Hz, its "clock cycle" is 0.01 second = 10 ms; if it operates at 100 MHz, its clock cycle is 0.000 000 01 second = 10 ns.

Switching elements and computer generations

(text, sec. 1.10 (on CD)) Relays were used in the earliest equipment: electronic accounting machines, and early computers made in the 1930's and early 1940's at Bell Labs and by Zuse in Germany. Relays are mechanical and hence relatively slow --- their response time is measured in milliseconds.
Vacuum tubes were dominant about 1945 to 1960 ('first generation of computers'). The first general purpose computer was the ENIAC (1946): 18,000 tubes, 20 10-digit accumulators, 100 kHz clock, 200 microsecond add time, 200 KW power. Tubes were much faster than relays (because they had no mechanical moving parts), but they were bulky, required high power, and had a relatively short life (crucial because of the large number of components).
Discrete transistors ('second generation computers') were used in computers starting around 1960. They took less power , were smaller, and had a longer lifetime than vacuum tubes.
Integrated circuits ('third generation computers') were created by fabricating several transistors on a single chip, allowing computers to be made smaller. IC's were introduced in the late 1960's, and gradually increased their level of integration (number of transistors on a chip).
Very large scale integration ('fourth generation computers') represented the ability to put more and more transistors on a chip, until an entire processor (a microprocessor) could be fabricated on a single chip. Initially VLSI was used to make personal computers (Apple II - 1977; IBM PC - 1981); now all computers are made from VLSI.

Technology Trends

We continue to learn, at a steady pace, how to fabricate smaller and smaller transistors. This allows for
  • a higher level of integration (currently, hundreds of millions of gates on a chip)
  • (until recently) faster circuits (compare the initial PC of 5 Mhz with current PCs of 2-3 GHz)
The cost of a chip has remained (very roughly) constant, so price/performance has been rapidly decreasing. How should this extra circuitry and extra performance be used?

RESEARCH APTITUDE

A careful,systematic,patient study and investigation in some field of knowledge,undertaken to establish facts or principles is called research.
RESEARCH may be APPLIED or BASIC

The purpose of APPLIED research is to solve an immediate,practical problem.
Basic Research(pure) adds to the existing body of knowledge;doesn't necessarily provide results of immediate,practical use.


                                                 













Descriptive Research describes,interprets and clarifies a situation or a problem.e.g types of services provided by an organization,how a child feels living in a home with domestic violence.

Correlational Research is to discover or establish the existence of a relationship/interdependence/association between two or more aspects of a situation e.g what is the impact of advertising campaign on the sale of the product?

Explanatory research attempts to clarify why and how there is arelationship between between two aspects of a situation or phenomenon.e.g why stressful living results in heart attacks.

Exploratory research is usually carried out when researcher wants to explore areas about which he has little or no knowledge.

Qualitative research purpose is to describe a situation,phenomenon,problem or event e.g. an account of different opinions people have about an issue.

Quantitative research  is if you want to quantify the variation in the phenomenon and analysis is done to ascertain the magnitude of variation.e.g. how many people have a particular problem?How many people hold a particular attitude?

Pumping lemma is used to check if a language is regular or not.
(i) Assume that the language(L) is regular.
(ii) Select a constant ‘n’.
(iii) Select a string(z) in L, such that |z|>n.
(iv) Split the word z into u,v and w such that |uv|<=n and |v|>=1.
(v) You achieve a contradiction to pumping lemma that there exists an ‘i’
Such that uviw is not in L.Then L is not a regular language.

Q. Find the grammar for the language L={a2n bc ,where n>1 }

Ans:
let G=( {S,A,B}, {a,b,c} ,P , {S} ) where P:
S->Abc
A->aaA |

Q. 16.Find the language generated by :
S->0S1 | 0A | 0 |1B | 1
A->0A | 0 , B->1B | 1

Ans:
The minimum string is S-> 0 | 1
S->0S1=>001
S->0S1=>011
S->0S1=>00S11=>000S111=>0000A111=>00000111
Thus L={ 0n 1 m | m not equal to n, and n,m >=1}

Q.Construct the grammar for the language L={ an b an | n>=1}.

Ans: The grammar has the production P as:
S->aAa
A->aAa | b
The grammar is thus : G=( {S,A} ,{a,b} ,P,S)

Q. Construct a grammar for the language L which has all the strings which are all
palindrome over ={a, b}.

Ans:
G=({S}, {a,b} , P, S )

S-> b S b,
S-> a,
S->b,
S-> } which is in palindrome.

Q. Let G= ( {S,C} ,{a,b},P,S) where P consists of S->aCa , C->aCa |b. Find L(G).

Ans:
S-> aCa => aba
S->aCa=> a aCa a=>aabaa
S->aCa=> a aCa a=> a a aCa a a =>aaabaaa
Thus L(G)= { anban ,where n>=1 }

Q. Find L(G) where G= ( {S} ,{0,1}, {S->0S1 ,S-> },S )

Ans :
S-> , is in L(G)
S-> 0S1 =>0 1=>01
S->0S1=>0 0S11=>0011
Thus L(G)= { 0n1n | n>=0}
