About cycle timings and interlock behavior

Complex instruction dependencies and memory system interactions make it impossible to 
describe briefly the exact cycle timing behavior for all instructions in all circumstances. The 
timings that this chapter describes are accurate in most cases. If precise timings are required you 
must use a cycle-accurate model of the processor.

Unless otherwise stated, cycle counts and result latencies that this chapter describes are best case 
numbers. They assume:

•

no outstanding data dependencies between the current instruction and a previous 
instruction

•

the instruction does not encounter any resource conflicts

•

all data accesses hit in the MicroTLB and Data Cache, and do not cross protection region 
boundaries

•

all instruction accesses hit in the Instruction Cache.

This section describes:

•

Changes in instruction flow overview

•

Conditional instructions

16.1.1

Changes in instruction flow overview

To minimize the number of cycles, because of changes in instruction flow, the processor 
includes a:

•

dynamic branch predictor

•

static branch predictor

•

return stack.

The dynamic branch predictor is a 128-entry direct-mapped branch predictor using VA bits 
[9:3]. The prediction scheme uses a two-bit saturating counter for predictions that are:

•

Strongly Not Taken

•

Weakly Not Taken

•

Weakly Taken

•

Strongly Taken.

Only branches with a constant offset are predicted. Branches with a register-based offset are not 
predicted. A dynamically predicted branch can be folded out of the instruction stream if the 
following instruction arrives while the branch is within the prefetch instruction buffer. A 
dynamically predicted branch takes one cycle or zero cycles if folded out.

The static branch predictor operates on branches with a constant offset that are not predicted by 
the dynamic branch predictor. Static predictions are issued from the Iss stage of the main 
pipeline, consequently a statically predicted branch takes four cycles.

The return stack consists of three entries, and as with static predictions, issues a prediction from 
the Iss stage of the main pipeline. The return stack mispredicts if the value taken from the return 
stack is not the value that is returned by the instruction. Only unconditional returns are
