Chapter 10
Instruction Execution Timing

100
This chapter describes the timing of PowerPC instructions that execute in the core.
Examples show stalls and bubbles due to serialization, latency, and blockage.
10.1 Instruction Execution Timing Examples
The following sections provide timings for the following scenarios:
¥
Data cache load
¥
Writeback arbitration
¥
Private writeback bus load
¥
Fastest external load (data cache miss)
¥
Full completion queue (CQ)
¥
Branch instruction handling
¥
Branch prediction
All examples assume an instruction cache hit.
10.1.1 Data Cache Load with a Data Dependency
Figure 10-1 shows a data cache load with zero wait states. The sub instruction depends on
the value loaded to r12,which causes a bubble in the instruction stream. The example in
Section 10.1.3, ÒPrivate Writeback Bus Load,Ó has no such dependency.
lwz r12,64
