Memory Controller Design
Design challenge: 32-bit processor with 16-bit memory interface• One every memory access, need to make two memory accesses in
order to get a 32-bit word out of a 16-bit memory interface.
Solution: Clock memory controller twice as fast as rest of processor• Effectively makes a memory access on the rising and falling edge of
the processor’s clock cycle• Each processor clock cycle corresponds to two clock cycles of the
memory controller• This allows two memory accesses per processor clock cycle

Data Forwarding and Stall Insertions:Observed Results
Sample program: Bubble-sort 6 numbers
Assembler insertion of NOPs for data hazards and branch/jump delays
Machine code size: 66 words of memory
Execution time: ~750 clock cycles
Hardware data forwarding and stall insertion:
Machine code size: 35 words of memory
Execution time: ~400 clock cycles
Conclusion
Still cooking something up…
We conclude that we do not know what to conclude.
