Multi-core architectures

Single-core computer

Single-core CPU chip the single core

Multi-core architectures
• This lecture is about a new trend in computer architecture:
Replicate multiple processor cores on a single die.
Core 1

Multi-core CPU chip

Core 2

Core 3

Core 4

Multi-core CPU chip
• The cores fit on a single processor socket
• Also called CMP (Chip Multi-Processor)

Interaction with the
Operating System
• OS perceives each core as a separate processor
• OS scheduler maps threads/processes to different cores
• Most major OS support multi-core today:
Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, …

8

Why multi-core ?
• Difficult to make single-core clock frequencies even higher
• Deeply pipelined circuits:






heat problems speed of light problems difficult design and verification large design teams necessary server farms need expensive air-conditioning • Many new applications are multithreaded
• General trend in computer architecture (shift towards more parallelism)

9

Instruction-level parallelism
• Parallelism at the machine-instruction level
• The processor can re-order, pipeline instructions, split them into microinstructions, do aggressive branch prediction, etc.
• Instruction-level parallelism enabled rapid increases in processor speeds over the last 15 years
10

Thread-level parallelism (TLP)
• This is parallelism on a more coarser scale
• Server can serve each client in a separate
thread

    +• Scheduling: Any processor may perform scheduling, which complicates the task of enforcing a scheduling policy and assuring that corruption of the scheduler data structures is avoided. If kernel-level multithreading is used, then the opportunity exists to schedule multiple threads from the same process simultaneously on multiple processors.…

    Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach Germany in 1685. Bach could sing very well and studied Latin, Greek and theology in St. Michael’s School. He played organ in a church at Arnstadt when he was 18. The church didn’t really like him because of his improvisational style of the songs. So he walked to Lubeck to study with a famous organist Buxtehude. Buxtehude liked Bach so much that he offered to give him a job if he married his daughter, in which Bach declined. Some of his career moves include working as an organist to the Duke of Weimar from 1708 to 1717, moving to Cothen to be the leader of an orchestra to Prince Leopold from 1717 to 1723, and then Bach was appointed Cantor of the St Thomas School. By 1725, he has written 2 complete cycles of cantatas. By 1729 he has written 4 complete cycles of cantatas (200 cantatas!). In 1748, Bach was losing his eyesight and eventually went blind. He died in 1750 at the age of 65. Bach’s Lutheran faith was an important aspect of his music life, in which he writes “To the Glory of God” in many of his works. He was a master of contrapuntal arts and helped create the well-tempered tuning system we use to this day. In his lifetime Bach has composed over 1000 musical works.…

    Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators and electronics on a common silicon substrate using microfabrication techniques. MEMS are a hot area of research because they integrate sensing, analyzing and responding on the same silicon substrate hence promising realization of complete systems-on-a-chip. As MEMS are manufactured using batch fabrication techniques similar to IC technology, MEMS are expected to deliver high functionality at low prices.…
