Instruction Set
Instruction Set • data: read/write data from RAM

add two numbers
Instruction Set • data: read/write data from RAM • arithmetic:
add two numbers • control flow: where do we go next?
Pipeline
None
Pipeline • fetch: get the next instruction
Pipeline • fetch: get the next instruction • decode: determine
which instruction was fetched
Pipeline • fetch: get the next instruction • decode: determine
which instruction was fetched • execute: run the instruction
Pipeline • fetch: get the next instruction • decode: determine

Fetch 0000001001010011
Decode 0000001001010011 Add 5 3
Decode Add 5 + 3

Counting Candy
1. Start with a total of 0 2. For each
piece in the pile, add 1 to total 3. Remember that piece was counted
1. Find 4 friends 2. Divide candy among friends 3.
Friends count at same time
Four times as fast!
Four times as fast!
1. Find 4 friends 2. Divide candy among friends 3.
Friends count at same time 4. Add up friends’ totals
More friends!
Not faster :(
1. Pair up, add totals together 2. One friend goes
home, other remembers total 3. Repeat until counted
Much faster!
