PC7448
1. Overview
The PC7448 is the sixth implementation of fourth-generation (G4) microprocessors from Freescale
™
.
The PC7448 implements the full PowerPC 32 bits architecture and is targeted at networking and com-
puting systems applications. The PC7448 consists of a processor core and a 1 Mbyte L2.
Figure 1-1 on page 3
shows a block diagram of the PC7448. The core is a high-performance superscalar
design supporting a double-precision floating-point unit and a SIMD multimedia unit.
The memory storage subsystem supports the MPX bus protocol and a subset of the 60x bus protocol to
main memory and other system resources.

2. Features
This section summarizes features of the PC7448 implementation of the PowerPC architecture.
Major features of the PC7448 are as follows:
• High-performance, superscalar microprocessor
Up to four instructions can be fetched from the instruction cache at a time
Up to three instructions plus a branch instruction can be dispatched to the issue queues at a time
Up to 12 instructions can be in the Instruction Queue (IQ)
Up to 16 instructions can be at some stage of execution simultaneously
Single-cycle execution for most instructions
One instruction per clock cycle throughput for most instructions
Seven-stage pipeline control
• Eleven independent execution units and three register files
Branch Processing Unit (BPU) features static and dynamic branch prediction
– 128-entry (32-set, four-way set-associative) Branch Target Instruction Cache (BTIC), a
cache of branch instructions that have been encountered in branch/loop code sequences. If
a target instruction is in the BTIC, it is fetched into the instruction queue a cycle sooner than
it can be made available from the instruction cache. Typically, a fetch that hits the BTIC
provides the first four instructions in the target stream
– 2048-entry Branch History Table (BHT) with 2 bits per entry for four levels of prediction: not
taken, strongly not taken, taken, and strongly taken
– Up to three outstanding speculative branches
– Branch instructions that do not update the count register (CTR) or Link Register (LR) are
often removed from the instruction stream
– Eight-entry link register stack to predict the target address of branch conditional to link
register (bclr) instructions
Four Integer Units (IUs) that share 32 GPRs for integer operands
– Three identical IUs (IU1a, IU1b, and IU1c) can execute all integer instructions except
multiply, divide, and move to/from special-purpose register instructions
– IU2 executes miscellaneous instructions, including the CR logical operations, integer
multiplication and division instructions, and move to/from special-purpose register
instructions
Five-stage FPU and 32-entry FPR file
– Fully IEEE
®
754-1985 – compliant FPU for both single- and double-precision operations
– Supports non-IEEE mode for time-critical operations
– Hardware support for denormalized numbers
– Thirty-two 64 bits FPRs for single or double-precision operands
Four vector units and 32-entry Vector Register file (VRs).

– Vector Permute Unit (VPU)
– Vector Integer Unit 1 (VIU1) handles short-latency AltiVec
®
integer instructions, such as
vector add instructions (for example,
vaddsbs, vaddshs,
and
vaddsws)
– Vector Integer Unit 2 (VIU2) handles longer-latency AltiVec integer instructions, such as
vector multiply add instructions (for example,
vmhaddshs, vmhraddshs,
and
vmladduhm)
– Vector Floating-point Unit (VFPU)
Three-stage Load/Store Unit (LSU)
– Supports integer, floating-point, and vector instruction load/store traffic
– Four-entry Vector Touch Queue (VTQ) supports all four architected AltiVec data stream
operations
– Three-cycle GPR and AltiVec load latency (byte, half word, word, vector) with one-cycle
throughput
– Four-cycle FPR load latency (single, double) with one-cycle throughput
– No additional delay for misaligned access within double-word boundary
– A dedicated adder calculates Effective Addresses (EAs)
– Supports store gathering
– Performs alignment, normalization, and precision conversion for floating-point data
– Executes cache control and TLB instructions
– Performs alignment, zero padding, and sign extension for integer data
– Supports hits under misses (multiple outstanding misses)
– Supports both big and little-endian modes, including misaligned little-endian accesses
• Three issue queues, FIQ, VIQ, and GIQ, can accept as many as one, two, and three instructions,
respectively, in a cycle. Instruction dispatch requires the following:
Instructions can only be dispatched from the three lowest IQ entries, IQ0, IQ1, and IQ2
A maximum of three instructions can be dispatched to the issue queues per clock cycle
Space must be available in the CQ for an instruction to dispatch (this includes instructions that are
assigned a space in the CQ but not in an issue queue)
• Rename buffers
16 GPR rename buffers
16 FPR rename buffers
16 VR rename buffers
• Dispatch unit
Decode/dispatch stage fully decodes each instruction
• Completion unit
Retires an instruction from the 16-entry Completion Queue (CQ) when all instructions ahead of it
have been completed, the instruction has finished executing, and no exceptions are pending
Guarantees sequential programming model (precise exception model)
Monitors all dispatched instructions and retires them in order
Tracks unresolved branches and flushes instructions after a mispredicted branch
