This document discusses CPU instruction set design and pipelining in computer architecture. It describes a simple CPU design with an instruction fetch unit, register file, and arithmetic unit. It also explains the key concepts of pipelining, including splitting a CPU into stages, executing multiple instructions simultaneously by having different stages work on different instructions, and improving efficiency over non-pipelined execution. Pipelining can reduce the time to complete a series of instructions by allowing new instructions to begin processing before previous ones are finished.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
2. • It actually takes very little hardware to implement a simple CPU.
• An instruction fetch unit, which grabs the next instruction. The bits of the
instruction are what activate different parts of the CPU circuit to make
things happen.
• A register file, from which operands are read, and results are written.
• An arithmetic unit, which performs operations on the operands.
3. • There are a few key tricks used throughout these designs:
• In a circuit, feeding the output of the circuit back around to its own input,
recycling the same values over and over.
• Most CPUs operate on values of more than one bit. Using a single bus to
represent multiple bits with a single line dramatically simplifies the circuit
schematic compared to the physically more realistic approach of drawing
separate wires for each bit. Logisim calls this "Data Bits"; most other tools
call it a "bus".
4. • A multiplexor selects one input line from a set of inputs, based on
"select line". For example, an 8-in mux has a 3 bit select input, which
is a binary code indicating which of the 8 inputs to select as the
output. Multiplexors are used:
• In the register file, to select which register should provide input data for
arithmetic. The register select lines are controlled by the input register portion
of the instruction being executed.
• In the arithmetic unit, to pick the output of one arithmetic circuit from
those listed. The arithmetic select lines are controlled by the opcode portion
of the instruction.
6. Pipelining in Computer Architecture
Introduction-
•A program consists of several number of instructions.
•These instructions may be executed in the following two ways-
1.Non-Pipelined Execution
2.Pipelined Execution
7. Pipelining in Computer Architecture
• 1. Non-Pipelined Execution
• In non-pipelined architecture,
• All the instructions of a program are executed sequentially one after
the other.
• A new instruction executes only after the previous instruction has
executed completely.
• This style of executing the instructions is highly inefficient.
8. Pipelining in Computer Architecture
Example-
• Consider a program consisting of three instructions.
• In a non-pipelined architecture, these instructions execute one after
the other as-
• If time taken for executing one instruction = t, then-
• Time taken for executing ‘n’ instructions = n x t
9. Pipelining in Computer Architecture
2. Pipelined Execution-
• Multiple instructions are executed parallelly.
• This style of executing the instructions is highly efficient.
• Instruction Pipelining-
• Instruction pipelining is a technique that implements a form of
parallelism called as instruction level parallelism within a
single processor.
• A pipelined processor does not wait until the previous
instruction has executed completely.
• Rather, it fetches the next instruction and begins its
execution.
10. Pipelining in Computer Architecture
Pipelined Architecture
• The hardware of the CPU is split up into several functional units.
• Each functional unit performs a dedicated task.
• The number of functional units may vary from processor to processor.
• These functional units are called as stages of the pipeline.
• Control unit manages all the stages using control signals.
• There is a register associated with each stage that holds the data.
• There is a global clock that synchronizes the working of all the stages.
• At the beginning of each clock cycle, each stage takes the input from its
register.
• Each stage then processes the data and feed its output to the
register of the next stage.
11. Pipelining in Computer Architecture
• Four-Stage Pipeline
1.Instruction fetch (IF)
2.Instruction decode (ID)
3.Instruction Execute (IE)
4.Write back (WB)
• To implement four stage pipeline,
• The hardware of the CPU is divided into four functional units.
• Each functional unit performs a dedicated task.
12. Pipelining in Computer Architecture
• Stage-01:
• First functional unit performs instruction fetch.
• It fetches the instruction to be executed.
• Stage-02:
• Second functional unit performs instruction decode.
• It decodes the instruction to be executed.
• Stage-03:
• Third functional unit performs instruction execution.
• It executes the instruction.
• Stage-04:
• Fourth functional unit performs write back.
• It writes back the result so obtained after executing the instruction.
13. Pipelining in Computer Architecture
• Execution
• Instructions of the program execute parallelly.
• When one instruction goes from nth stage to (n+1)th stage,
another instruction goes from (n-1)th stage to nth stage.
• Phase-Time Diagram-
• Phase-time diagram shows the execution of instructions in the
pipelined architecture.
• The following diagram shows the execution of three instructions
in four stage pipeline architecture.
14. Pipelining in Computer Architecture
• Time taken to execute three instructions in four stage pipelined
architecture = 6 clock cycles.
In non-pipelined architecture,
Time taken to execute three instructions would b
= 3 x Time taken to execute one instruction
= 3 x 4 clock cycles
= 12 clock cycles
15. Pipelining in Computer Architecture
Performance of Pipelined Execution
• The following parameters serve as criterion to estimate the
performance of pipelined execution-
• Speed Up
• Efficiency
• Throughput
