Aim of the Experiment

The aim of this experiment is to study how scoreboarding combined with register renaming can eliminate false dependencies such as WAR and WAW, thereby enabling more aggressive out-of-order execution. Students will explore how the scoreboard tracks the availability of functional units and real registers, how logical registers are dynamically mapped to physical registers, and how this mapping helps avoid pipeline stalls. The experiment aims to demonstrate the performance benefits of this hybrid approach in enhancing instruction-level parallelism.
