COL 216 ASSIGNMENT 2

This is the implementation of the pipeline simulator for a 5 stage and a 7-9 stage pipeline in the c++ language.

FILES

1. 5stage.hpp : This file contains the implementation of the 5 stage pipeline.
2. 5stagebypass.hpp : This file contains the implementation of the 5 stage pipeline with bypassing.
3. 79stage.hpp : This file contains the implementation of the 7-9 stage pipeline.
4. 79stagebypass.hpp : This file contains the implementation of the 7-9 stage pipeline with bypassing.
5. BranchPredictor.hpp : This file contains the struct branch predictor.
6. 5stage.cpp : This file contains the main function for the 5 stage pipeline.
7. 5stagebypass.cpp : This file contains the main function for the 5 stage pipeline with bypassing.
8. 79stage.cpp : This file contains the main function for the 7-9 stage pipeline.
9. 79stagebypass.cpp : This file contains the main function for the 7-9 stage pipeline with bypassing.
10. input.asm : This file contains the assembly code for the input.
11. report.pdf : This file contains the report for the assignment with clock cycles, comparison plots and graphs.
12. test.cpp : This file contains the running mechanism for the branch predictor.

MAKEFILE

The makefile contains the following commands:

1. compile : This command compiles the code and generates the executable files.
2. run_5stage : This command runs the 5 stage pipeline.
3. run_5stage_bypass : This command runs the 5 stage pipeline with bypassing.
4. run_79stage : This command runs the 7-9 stage pipeline.
5. run_79stage_bypass : This command runs the 7-9 stage pipeline with bypassing.
6. test : This command runs the branch predictor. You need to give input from 0/1/2/3 to run.
7. clean : This command removes the executable files. To run the code, use the following commands:

make compile
make run_5stage
make run_5stage_bypass
make run_79stage
make run_79stage_bypass
make test
make clean
