Detailed Description

IEW handles both single threaded and SMT IEW (issue/execute/writeback).

It handles the dispatching of instructions to the LSQ/IQ as part of the issue stage, and has the IQ try to issue instructions each cycle. The execute latency is actually tied into the issue latency to allow the IQ to be able to do back-to-back scheduling without having to speculatively schedule instructions. This happens by having the IQ have access to the functional units, and the IQ gets the execution latencies from the FUs when it issues instructions. Instructions reach the execute stage on the last cycle of their execution, which is when the IQ knows to wake up any dependent instructions, allowing back to back scheduling. The execute portion of IEW separates memory instructions from non-memory instructions, either telling the LSQ to execute the instruction, or executing the instruction directly. The writeback portion of IEW completes the instructions by waking up any dependents, and marking the register ready on the scoreboard.

◆ wakeCPU()

Tells the CPU to wakeup if it has descheduled itself due to no activity.

Used mainly by the LdWritebackEvent.

Wakes all dependents of a completed instruction.

◆ writebackInsts()

void gem5::o3::IEW::writebackInsts ( )

private

Writebacks instructions.

In our model, the instruction's execute() function atomically reads registers, executes, and writes registers. Thus this writeback only wakes up dependent instructions, and informs the scoreboard of registers becoming ready.
