hello guys, can you tell me the number of execution units in Cortex-A72 and the number of clock cycles it takes per instruction?
Thanks in advance
You should check out the relevant reference manuals.
you mean the one with 6666 pages? okay
will take a look
No, no. Only the one with 6600 pages ;-) 6666 pages is A73Anyway, check out chapter 2. Functional Description
thanks mate
Hi Kallooran,
There is a block diagram in A72 TRM where you can see the execution units:
https://developer.arm.com/docs/100095/latest/functional-description/about-the-cortex-a72-processor-functions
The A72 Optimization guide gives more details:
https://developer.arm.com/docs/uan0016/latest/cortex-a72-software-optimization-guide-application-note-uan-0016a
It has a Pipeline Overview and tables of instructions latencies and throughputs.
Best regards,
Vincent.
