4bfbe75d74 Avoid pipeline replays when fetch queue is full 2017-08-04 16:59:21 -07:00
Andrew Waterman
a45997d03f Separate I$ parity error from miss signal
Handle parity errors with a pipeline flush rather than a faster
frontend replay, reducing a critical path.

06a831310b Shave a gate delay off I$ backpressure path
The deleted code was a holdover from Hwacha's vector fences.

ecc2ee366c Shave a few gate delays off IBuf control logic
It takes a while for the pipeline to compute the stall signal, so avoid
using it until the last logic levels in the clock cycle.

e140893a01 Use 1-entry queue on processor-side E-channel
The cache can't sink a grant every cycle, so extra E buffering doesn't help.

eadf4e9fcc Revert "tile: add option for tile boundary buffers"
This reverts commit b64b87ad07.

The crossings already have buffering in those places where it was
appropriate. Adding more does not help flow through paths.

838864870e Bypass TLB refill signal to halve L2 TLB hit time
The 4-cycle hit time is 1 cycle too long to avoid a second
pipeline replay, so it was effectively 9 cycles instead of 4.
