We can say that we are subtracting \( B \) from \( A \), or we can say that we are adding \( -B \) to \( A \). Hence, instead of looking at subtraction separately, let us look at it as a special case of addition. We shall first look at the problem of adding two numbers with the same sign in Section 7.4.1, with opposite signs in Section 7.4.4, and then look at the generic problem of adding two numbers in Section 7.4.5.

#################### File: Basic%20Computer%20Architecture%20arithmetic.pdf Page: 38 Context: # 7.4 Floating Point Numbers ## 7.4.1 Simple Addition with Same Signs The problem is to add two floating point numbers A and B with the same sign. We want to compute a new floating point number \( C = A + B \). In this case, the sign of the result is known in advance (sign of \( A \) or \( B \)). All of our subsequent discussion assumes the IEEE 32-bit format. However, the techniques that we develop can be extended to other formats, especially double-precision arithmetic. First, the floating point unit needs to unpack different fields from the floating point representations of \( A \) and \( B \). Let the \( E \) fields (exponent + bias) be \( E_A \) and \( E_B \) for \( A \) and \( B \) respectively. Let the \( E \) field of the result, \( C \), be \( E_C \). In hardware, we let use a register called \( E \) to save the exponent (in the bias notation). The final value of \( E \) needs to be equal to \( E_C \). Unpacking the significand is slightly more elaborate. We shall represent the significands as unsigned integers and ignore the decimal point. Moreover, we shall add a leading most significant bit that can act as the sign bit. It is initially 0. For example, if a floating point number is of the form \( 1.011 \times 2^{10} \), the significand is 1.011, and we shall represent it as 011011. Note that we have added a leading 0 bit. ### Figure Reference Figure 7.16 shows an example of how the significand is unpacked and placed in a register for a normal floating point number. In the 32-bit IEEE 754 format, there are 23 bits for the mantissa, and there is either a 0 or 1 before the decimal point. The significand thus requires 24 bits, and if we wish to add a leading bit (0), then we need 25 bits of storage. Let us save this number in a register, and call it \( W \). Let us start out by observing that we cannot add \( A \) and \( B \) the way we have added integers, because the exponents might be different. The first task is to ensure that both exponents are the same. Without no loss of generality, let us assume that \( E_A \geq E_B \). This can be effected with a simple compare and swap in hardware. Let the significands of \( A \) and \( B \) be \( P_A \) and \( P_B \) respectively. Let us initially set \( W \) equal to: ### Normalised Form - Normalised form of a 32-bit (normal) floating point number: \[ A = (-1)^S \times P \times 2^{E - \text{bias}} \quad (1 \leq P < 2, \, E \in \mathbb{Z}, \, 1 \leq E \leq 254) \quad (7.22) \] - Normalised form of a 32-bit (denormal) floating point number: \[ A = (-1)^S \times P \times 2^{-126} \quad (0 < P < 1) \quad (7.23) \] ### Table Reference | Symbol | Meaning | |--------|-----------------------------------------------------| | S | Sign bit (0=+ve, 1=-ve) | | P | Significand (form: 1.xxxx(normal) or 0.xxxx(denormal)) | | M | Mantissa (fractional part of significand) | | E | Exponent (+127(bias)) | | Z | Set of integers | **Table 7.5: IEEE 754 format** #################### File: Basic%20Computer%20Architecture%20appendix.pdf Page: 11 Context: 705c(cid:13)SmrutiR.SarangiFigureA.6showsablockdiagramofthepipelineoftheAMDBobcatprocessor.Adis-tinguishingfeatureoftheBobcatprocessoristhefairlysophisticatedbranchpredictor.Weneedtofirstpredictifaninstructionisabranchornot.Thisisbecause,thereisnowayoffindingthisoutquicklyinthex86ISA.Ifaninstructionispredictedtobeabranch,weneedtocomputeitsoutcome(taken/nottaken),andthetarget.AMDusesanadvancedpatternmatchingbasedproprietaryalgorithmforbranchprediction.Afterbranchprediction,thefetchenginefetches32bytesfromtheIcacheatonce,andsendsittoaninstructionbuffer.Thedecoderconsiders22instructionbytesatatime,andtriestodemarcateinstructionboundaries.Thisisaslowandcomputationallyintensiveprocessbecausex86instructionlengthscanhavealotofvariability.Largerprocessorstypicallycachethisinformationsuchthatdecodinganinstructionforthesecondtimeiseasier.SincethedecodethroughputofBobcatisonlylimitedto2instructions,itdoesnothavethisfeature.Now,mostpairsofx86instructionsfitwithin22bytes,andthusthedecodercanmostofthetimeextractthecontentsofboththex86instructions.Thedecodertypicallyconvertseachx86instructionto1-2Cops.Forsomeinfrequentlyusedinstructions,itreplacestheinstructionwithamicrocodesequence.Subsequently,theCopsareaddedtoa56entryreorderbuffer(ROB).Bobcathastwoschedulers.Theintegerschedulerhas16entries,andthefloatingpointschedulerhas18entries.Theintegerschedulerselectstwoinstructionsforexecutioneverycycle.TheintegerpipelinehastwoALUs,andtwoaddressgenerationunits(1forload,and1forstore).ThefloatingpointpipelinecanalsoexecutetwoCopspercyclewithsomerestrictions.Theload-storeunitintheprocessorforwardsvaluesfromstoretoloadinstructionsinthepipelinewheneverpossible.Bobcathas32KB(8wayassociative)L1DandIcaches.Theyareconnectedtoa512KBL2cache(16waysetassociative).ThebusinterfaceconnectstheL2cachetothemainmemory,andsystembus.Letusnowconsiderthetimingofthepipeline.TheBobcatintegerpipelineisdividedinto16stages.Becauseofthedeeppipeline,itispossibletoclockthecoreatfrequenciesbetween1-2GHz.TheBobcatpipe #################### File: Basic%20Computer%20Architecture%20appendix.pdf Page: 24 Context: oftheNVIDIAR(cid:13)TeslaR(cid:13)GPUarchitecture.Specif-ically,wewilldiscussthedesignoftheGeForceR(cid:13)8800GPU.ThefastestpartsoftheGPU(thecores)typicallyoperateat1.5GHz.Otherpartsoperateat600MHz,or750MHz.B.2NVIDIATeslaArchitectureFigureB.2showstheTeslaarchitecture.Letusstartexplainingfromthetopofthefigure.ThehostCPUsendssequencesofcommandsanddatatothegraphicsprocessorthroughadedicatedbus.ThededicatedbusthentransfersthesetofcommandsanddatatobuffersontheGPU.Subsequently,theunitsoftheGPUprocesstheinformation.InFigureB.2theworkflowsfromtoptobottom.BeforewestartdiscussingthedetailsoftheGPU,thereaderneedstounderstandthattheGPUisessentiallyasetofverysimpleinordercores.Additionally,ithasa ########## """QUERY: who is the author of Basic Computer Architecture arithmetic.pdf""" Consider the chat history for relevant information.
