  1. Instruction Sets

  2. Instruction set • It is a list of all instructions that a processor can execute. • Element of an instruction: • Operation Code (Op Code) {Determine what will be done} • Source Operand {Determine which data will be manipulated} • Destination Operand {Determine where the data will be stored} • Next Instruction {Determine the next instruction to be executed}

  3. Instruction Cycle State Diagram

  4. Instruction Cycle • Fetch (Instruction is copied from memory to the Instruction Register (IR) ) • Decode (In order to figure out what the instruction should do, it needs to be decoded. ) • Data Operations (Do the operations needed) (example: adding two values, access ALU) • Write-back (The result of the operation is written in the registers)

  5. Instruction Representation • Example of Instructions • ADD, SUB, LOAD, MPY, DIV, STOR • Example of Operands • ADD A, B • LOAD C, X

  6. Instruction Types • The set of instruction in a computer must be sufficient to allow the user to manage all the information needed • Data processing: • Arithmetic and logic instruction. This instruction is used in the computer registers. • Data storage • They are memory instructions which allow the movement of data between memory and registers • Data movement (I/O) • Carries the data from the internal registers to the user. • Program flow control: • It can use test and branch instructions

  7. Number of Address Instruction • Three-address Instruction • Two-address Instruction • One-address Instruction

  8. Three-address Instruction • Operand 1, Operand 2, Result • ADD X,A,B (X = A + B); • May be a forth - next instruction (usually implicit) • Needs very long words to hold everything

  9. Two-address Instruction • Move Y, A Y =A • ADD Y, B Y = Y + B • A MOVE instruction is introduced to do an operation • Reduces length of instruction • Requires some extra work

  10. One address • The second address is Implicit • Usually a register accumulator (AC) • The AC is used to store the results • Common on early machines • It can be possible to process information with Zero- address Instructions. All the address are implicit.

  11. How Many Addresses • More addresses • More complex instructions. More Powerful • More registers • operations are quicker • Fewer instructions per program • Fewer addresses • Less complex instructions. Less Powerful • More instructions per program • Faster fetch/execution of instructions

  12. Design Decisions • Operation • How many ops? • What can they do? • How complex are they? • Data types • Number of CPU registers available. More operations • Instruction formats • Length of op code field • Number of addresses and the addressing modes

  13. Types of Operand • Addresses • Numbers • Integer/floating point • Characters • ASCII etc. • Logical Data • Bits or flags • (Aside: Is there any difference between numbers and characters? Ask a C programmer!)

  14. Pentium Data Types • 8 bit Byte • 16 bit word • 32 bit double word • 64 bit quad word • Addressing is by 8 bit unit • A 32 bit double word is read at addresses divisible by 4

  15. Specific Data Types • General - arbitrary binary contents • Integer - single binary value • Ordinal - unsigned integer • Unpacked BCD - One digit per byte • Packed BCD - 2 BCD digits per byte • Near Pointer - 32 bit offset within segment • Bit field • Byte String • Floating Point

  16. Pentium Numeric Data Formats

  17. PowerPC Data Types • 8 (byte), 16 (halfword), 32 (word) and 64 (doubleword) length data types • Some instructions need operand aligned on 32 bit boundary • Can be big- or little-endian • Fixed point processor recognises: • Unsigned byte, unsigned halfword, signed halfword, unsigned word, signed word, unsigned doubleword, byte string (<128 bytes) • Floating point • IEEE 754, Single or double precision

  18. Types of Operation for Instruction Sets 1. Data Transfer 2. Arithmetic 3. Logical 4. Conversion 5. I/O 6. System Control 7. Transfer of Control

  19. Data Transfer • Specify: • Source (Register, Memory) • Destination (Register, Memory) • Amount of data • Examples: mov src, dest mov dest, src • There are different instructions for different movements • Data Move • mov src, dest • Data Swap • xchg src, dest

  20. Arithmetic • Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide (8- and 16-bit operations are supported directly and can easily be extended) • Signed Integer • Floating point (sine, cosine, square root, etc.) • Others • Increment (a++), ex. PC<-[PC]+1 • Decrement (a--) • Negate (-a)

  21. Increment and decrement

  22. Arithmetic • Complex Operations (SIMD or Single-Instruction Stream Multiple-Data or vector instruction). • It performs the same arithmetic operations in multiple pieces of data at the same time. • SIMD can be used to implement algorithms involved in sound, images and video processing.

  23. Shift and Rotate Operations “S” is a copy of the sign bit Rotate = circular shifting

  24. Logical and Arithmetic Shifting • Logical shifting are used for unsigned binary numbers. • Arithmetic shifting is used for signed binary numbers • Rotate Operation • It is also known as the circular shifting • This operation is useful if it is necessary to retain all the existing bits. • It is frequently used in digital cryptography.

  25. Logical • Bitwise operator: AND, OR, NOT • This operations are faster than arithmetic operations (+,-,*,/) • Examples: • NOT 0111 = 1000 (It is used for forming the ones' complement which is used for addition and subtraction) • 0101 OR 0011 = 0111(It is used as a flag in programming cycles) • 0101 AND 0011 = 0001 (The bitwise AND may be used to perform a bit mask operation and to determine whether a particular bit is 1 or 0 )

  26. Application for Bit Mask Using AND • given a bit pattern: 0010 • It will be determined whether the third bit is 1, a bitwise AND is applied to it. • 0010 AND 1010 = 0010

  27. Conversion & I/O Convert decimal to binary May be specific instructions May be done using data movement instructions (memory mapped) May be done by a separate controller (DMA)

  28. Conversion • Example: Binary to Decimal • 0101 = 4+1=5 • 2^3, 2^2, 2^1, 2^0

  29. System Control and Transfer of Control • Privileged instructions • For operating systems use • Change the sequence of instruction execution • Branch • branch to x if result is zero • Skip • e.g. increment and skip if zero

  30. Branch Instructions • Conditional Branch • Unconditional Branch • BRP X • Branch to location X if result is postive • BRZ X • Branch to location X if result is zero

  31. Branch Instructions

  32. Procedure Call Instructions • Self contained program that is incorporated into a larger program • Economy and modularity • Call instruction • Branches from the current location to the procedure • Return Instruction • Returns from the procedure to the place from which it was called
