  1. Computer Architecture and Organization Instruction Sets: Addressing Modes and Formats

  2. Addressing Modes • Immediate • Direct • Indirect • Register • Register Indirect • Displacement (Indexed) • Stack

  3. Immediate Addressing • Operand is part of instruction • Operand = address field • e.g. ADD 5 • Add 5 to contents of accumulator • 5 is operand • No memory reference to fetch data • Fast • Limited range

  4. Immediate Addressing Diagram Instruction Opcode Operand

  5. Direct Addressing • Address field contains address of operand • Effective address (EA) = address field (A) • e.g. ADD A • Add contents of cell A to accumulator • Look in memory at address A for operand • Single memory reference to access data • No additional calculations to work out effective address • Limited address space

  6. Direct Addressing Diagram Instruction Opcode Address A Memory Operand

  7. Indirect Addressing • Memory cell pointed to by address field contains the address of (pointer to) the operand • EA = (A) • Look in A, find address (A) and look there for operand • e.g. ADD (A) • Add contents of cell pointed to by contents of A to accumulator

  8. Indirect Addressing • Large address space • 2n where n = word length • May be nested, multilevel, cascaded • e.g. EA = (((A))) • Draw the diagram yourself • Multiple memory accesses to find operand • Hence slower

  9. Indirect Addressing Diagram Instruction Opcode AddressA Memory Pointer to operand Operand

  10. Register Addressing • Operand is held in register named in address filed • EA = R • Limited number of registers • Very small address field needed • Shorter instructions • Faster instruction fetch

  11. Register Addressing • No memory access • Very fast execution • Very limited address space • Multiple registers helps performance • Requires good assembly programming or compiler writing • N.B. C programming • register int a; • c.f. Direct addressing

  12. Register Addressing Diagram Instruction Opcode Register Address R Registers Operand

  13. Register Indirect Addressing • C.f. indirect addressing • EA = (R) • Operand is in memory cell pointed to by contents of register R • Large address space (2n) • One fewer memory access than indirect addressing

  14. Register Indirect Addressing Diagram Instruction Opcode Register Address R Memory Registers Operand Pointer to Operand

  15. Displacement Addressing • EA = A + (R) • Address field hold two values • A = base value • R = register that holds displacement • or vice versa

  16. Displacement Addressing Diagram Instruction Address A Opcode RegisterR Memory Registers Pointer to Operand Operand +

  17. Relative Addressing • A version of displacement addressing • R = Program counter, PC • EA = A + (PC) • i.e. get operand from A cells from current location pointed to by PC • c.f locality of reference & cache usage

  18. Base-Register Addressing • A holds displacement • R holds pointer to base address • R may be explicit or implicit • e.g. segment registers in 80x86

  19. Indexed Addressing • A = base • R = displacement • EA = A + R • Good for accessing arrays • EA = A + R • R++

  20. Combinations • Postindex • EA = (A) + (R) • Preindex • EA = (A+(R)) • (Draw the diagrams)

  21. Stack Addressing • Operand is (implicitly) on top of stack • e.g. • ADD Pop top two items from stack and add

  22. Pentium Addressing Modes • Virtual or effective address is offset into segment • Starting address plus offset gives linear address • This goes through page translation if paging enabled • 12 addressing modes available • Immediate • Register operand • Displacement • Base • Base with displacement • Scaled index with displacement • Base with index and displacement • Base scaled index with displacement • Relative

  23. Pentium Addressing Mode Calculation

  24. PowerPC Addressing Modes • Load/store architecture • Indirect • Instruction includes 16 bit displacement to be added to base register (may be GP register) • Can replace base register content with new address • Indirect indexed • Instruction references base register and index register (both may be GP) • EA is sum of contents • Branch address • Absolute • Relative • Indirect • Arithmetic • Operands in registers or part of instruction • Floating point is register only

  25. PowerPC Memory Operand Addressing Modes

  26. Instruction Formats • Layout of bits in an instruction • Includes opcode • Includes (implicit or explicit) operand(s) • Usually more than one instruction format in an instruction set

  27. Instruction Length • Affected by and affects: • Memory size • Memory organization • Bus structure • CPU complexity • CPU speed • Trade off between powerful instruction repertoire and saving space

  28. Allocation of Bits • Number of addressing modes • Number of operands • Register versus memory • Number of register sets • Address range • Address granularity
