Overview
This section summarizes features of the PC7410’s implementation of the PowerPC architecture. Major
features of the PC7410 are as follows:
• Branch Processing Unit
– Four instructions fetched per clock
– One branch processed per cycle (plus resolving two speculations)
– Up to one speculative stream in execution, one additional speculative stream in fetch
– 512-entry Branch History Table (BHT) for dynamic prediction
– 64-entry, 4-way set associative Branch Target Instruction Cache (BTIC) for eliminating
branch delay slots
• Dispatch Unit
– Full hardware detection of dependencies (resolved in the execution units)
– Dispatch two instructions to eight independent units (system, branch, load/store, fixed-point
unit 1, fixed-point unit 2, floating-point, AltiVec permute, AltiVec ALU)
– Serialization control (predispatch, postdispatch, execution serialization)
• Decode
– Register file access
– Forwarding control
– Partial instruction decode
