Hazards • Structural hazards: different instructions in different stages (or the same stage) conflicting for the same resource • Data hazards: an instruction cannot continue because it needs a value that has not yet been generated by an earlier instruction • Control hazard: fetch cannot continue because it does not know the outcome of an earlier branch – special case of a data hazard – separate category because they are treated in different ways 9

Structural Hazards • Example: a unified instruction and data cache stage 4 (MEM) and stage 1 (IF) can never coincide • The later instruction and all its successors are delayed until a cycle is found when the resource is free these are pipeline bubbles • Structural hazards are easy to eliminate – increase the number of resources (for example, implement a separate instruction and data cache) 10
