4.3 Issue Rates and Execution Cycles

Instruction execution cycles are summarized in table 4.4. Instruction Group in the table 4.4

corresponds to the category in the table 4.2. Penalty cycles due to a pipeline stall are not

considered in the issue rates and execution cycles in this section.

1. Issue Rate
Issue rate: 3
Issue rates indicates the issue period between one instruction and next instruction.
E.g. AND.B instruction
Next instruction
Issue rate: 2
E.g. MAC.W instruction
Execution cycles indicates the cycle counts an instruction occupied the pipeline based on the next rules.
CPU instruction
E.g. AND.B instruction Execution Cycles: 3
E.g. MAC.W instruction Execution Cycles: 4
2. Execution Cycles
Next instruction
FPU instruction
E.g. FMUL instruction
Execution Cycles: 14
E.g. FDIV instruction
Execution Cycles: 3
Divider occupation cycle
