Eventually you will need to understand all of them.

For now, concentrate on the one assigned to you by seat number:

• Register File: seats 1-5
• Functional Unit Reservation Station: seats 28-33, 39-48
• Load/Store Reservation Station: seats 12-16, 23-27, 34-38
• Add Functional Unit: seats 6-11
• Multiply Functional Unit: seats 17-22
• Memory: everyone (this one is simple)
• Common Data Bus: your instructor

Below are the assignments by seat number:

Functional Reservation Station	44 43 42 41 40 39		38 37 36 35 34	Load/Store Reservation Station
Functional Reservation Station	33 32 31 30 29 28		27 26 25 24 23	Load/Store Reservation Station
Multiply Functional Unit	22 21 20 19 18 17		16 15 14 13 12	Load/Store Reservation Station
