Detailed Description

The FetchStage is responsible for retrieving instructions from memory, handling fetch requests, and forwarding them to the decode stage.

Public Functions Documentation

function Fetch

Perform the fetch stage operations.

void simtix::pipelined::FetchStage::Fetch () 

This function is responsible for processing pending fetch response to decode stage and issuing pending fetch request to pending fetch response.


function FetchStage

Constructor of FetchStage .

explicit simtix::pipelined::FetchStage::FetchStage (
    PipelinedSMImpl * sm,
    const PipelinedSM::Param & p
) 

Parameters:

  • sm Pointer to the PipelinedSMImpl instance.
  • p Pipeline configuration parameters from pipeline.h.

function ~FetchStage

simtix::pipelined::FetchStage::~FetchStage () = default

Protected Attributes Documentation

variable sm_

PipelinedSMImpl* const simtix::pipelined::FetchStage::sm_;

Protected Functions Documentation

function IssuePendingFetchRequests

Issue pending fetch requests to instruction memory.

void simtix::pipelined::FetchStage::IssuePendingFetchRequests () 

Check for misaligned addresses, send fetch requests to the instruction memory, and handle access faults.


function ProcessReadyFetchRequests

Process fetch requests that are ready.

void simtix::pipelined::FetchStage::ProcessReadyFetchRequests () 

Process fetch requests that are in pending response. First check for address misalign and access fault. Then send the fetched instruction to the decode stage.
