Information Handled by a
Computer
 Instructions/machine instructions
 Govern the transfer of information within a computer as
well as between the computer and its I/O devices
 Specify the arithmetic and logic operations to be
performed
 Program
 Data
 Used as operands by the instructions
 Source program
 Encoded in binary code – 0 and 1

Memory Unit
 Store programs and data
 Two classes of storage
 Primary storage
 Fast
 Programs must be stored in memory while they are being executed
 Large number of semiconductor storage cells
 Processed in words
 Address
 RAM and memory access time
 Memory hierarchy – cache, main memory
 Secondary storage – larger and cheaper

Arithmetic and Logic Unit
(ALU)
 Most computer operations are executed in
ALU of the processor.
 Load the operands into memory – bring them
to the processor – perform operation in ALU –
store the result back to memory or retain in
the processor.
 Registers
 Fast control of ALU

Control Unit
 All computer operations are controlled by the control
unit.
 The timing signals that govern the I/O transfers are
also generated by the control unit.
 Control unit is usually distributed throughout the
machine instead of standing alone.
 Operations of a computer:
 Accept information in the form of programs and data through an
input unit and store it in the memory
 Fetch the information stored in the memory, under program control,
into an ALU, where the information is processed
 Output the processed information through an output unit
 Control all activities inside the machine through a control unit

Review
 Activity in a computer is governed by instructions.
 To perform a task, an appropriate program
consisting of a list of instructions is stored in the
memory.
 Individual instructions are brought from the memory
into the processor, which executes the specified
operations.
 Data to be used as operands are also stored in the
memory.

A Typical Instruction
 Add LOCA, R0
 Add the operand at memory location LOCA to the
operand in a register R0 in the processor.
 Place the sum into register R0.
 The original contents of LOCA are preserved.
 The original contents of R0 is overwritten.
 Instruction is fetched from the memory into the
processor – the operand at LOCA is fetched and
added to the contents of R0 – the resulting sum is
stored in register R0.

Separate Memory Access and
ALU Operation
 Load LOCA, R1
 Add R1, R0
 Whose contents will be overwritten?

registers

Registers
 Instruction register (IR)
 Program counter (PC)
 General-purpose register (R0 – Rn-1)
 Memory address register (MAR)
 Memory data register (MDR)

Typical Operating Steps
 Programs reside in the memory through input
devices
 PC is set to point to the first instruction
 The contents of PC are transferred to MAR
 A Read signal is sent to the memory
 The first instruction is read out and loaded
into MDR
 The contents of MDR are transferred to IR
 Decode and execute the instruction

Typical Operating Steps
(Cont’)
 Get operands for ALU
 General-purpose register
 Memory (address to MAR – Read – MDR to ALU)
 Perform operation in ALU
 Store the result back
 To general-purpose register
 To memory (address to MAR, result to MDR – Write)
 During the execution, PC is
incremented to the next instruction

Interrupt
 Normal execution of programs may be preempted if
some device requires urgent servicing.
 The normal execution of the current program must
be interrupted – the device raises an interrupt
signal.
 Interrupt-service routine
 Current system information backup and restore (PC,
general-purpose registers, control information,
specific information)

Bus Structures
 There are many ways to connect different
parts inside a computer together.
 A group of lines that serves as a connecting
path for several devices is called a bus.
 Address/data/control

Bus Structure
 Single-bus
Figure 1.3. Single-bus structure.
Memory
Input Output Processor

Speed Issue
 Different devices have different
transfer/operate speed.
 If the speed of bus is bounded by the slowest
device connected to it, the efficiency will be
very low.
 How to solve this?
 A common approach – use buffers.

Performance
 The most important measure of a computer is
how quickly it can execute programs.
 Three factors affect performance:
 Hardware design
 Instruction set
 Compiler

Performance
 Processor time to execute a program depends on the hardware
involved in the execution of individual machine instructions.

Bus
Cache
memory
Figure 1.5. The processor cache.

Performance
 The processor and a relatively small cache
memory can be fabricated on a single
integrated circuit chip.
 Speed
 Cost
 Memory management

Processor Clock
 Clock, clock cycle, and clock rate
 The execution of each instruction is divided
into several steps, each of which completes
in one clock cycle.
 Hertz – cycles per second

Basic Performance Equation
 T – processor time required to execute a program that has been
prepared in high-level language
 N – number of actual machine language instructions needed to
complete the execution (note: loop)
 S – average number of basic steps needed to execute one
machine instruction. Each step completes in one clock cycle
 R – clock rate
 Note: these are not independent to each other
R
S
N
T


How to improve T?

Pipeline and Superscalar
Operation
 Instructions are not necessarily executed one after
another.
 The value of S doesn’t have to be the number of
clock cycles to execute one instruction.
 Pipelining – overlapping the execution of successive
instructions.
 Add R1, R2, R3
 Superscalar operation – multiple instruction
pipelines are implemented in the processor.
 Goal – reduce S (could become <1!)

Clock Rate
 Increase clock rate
 Improve the integrated-circuit (IC) technology to make
the circuits faster
 Reduce the amount of processing done in one basic step
(however, this may increase the number of basic steps
needed)
 Increases in R that are entirely caused by
improvements in IC technology affect all
aspects of the processor’s operation equally
except the time to access the main memory.

CISC and RISC
 Tradeoff between N and S
 A key consideration is the use of pipelining
 S is close to 1 even though the number of basic steps
per instruction may be considerably larger
 It is much easier to implement efficient pipelining in
processor with simple instruction sets
 Reduced Instruction Set Computers (RISC)
 Complex Instruction Set Computers (CISC)

Compiler
 A compiler translates a high-level language program
into a sequence of machine instructions.
 To reduce N, we need a suitable machine instruction
set and a compiler that makes good use of it.
 Goal – reduce N×S
 A compiler may not be designed for a specific
processor; however, a high-quality compiler is
usually designed for, and with, a specific processor.

Performance Measurement
 T is difficult to compute.
 Measure computer performance using benchmark programs.
 System Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) selects and
publishes representative application programs for different application
domains, together with test results for many commercially available
computers.
 Compile and run (no simulation)
 Reference computer

Multicomputers
 Multiprocessor computer
 Execute a number of different application tasks in parallel
 Execute subtasks of a single large task in parallel
 All processors have access to all of the memory – shared-memory
multiprocessor
 Cost – processors, memory units, complex interconnection networks
 Multicomputers
 Each computer only have access to its own memory
 Exchange message via a communication network – message-
passing multicomputers

of many millions of
storage cells,
each of which can
store 1 bit.
 Data is usually

groups. n is called
word length.

and Operation
 To retrieve information from memory, either for one
word or one byte (8-bit), addresses for each location
are needed.
 A k-bit address memory has 2k memory locations,
namely 0 – 2k-1, called memory space.
 24-bit memory: 224 = 16,777,216 = 16M (1M=220)
 32-bit memory: 232 = 4G (1G=230)
 1K(kilo)=210
 1T(tera)=240

and Operation
 It is impractical to assign distinct addresses
to individual bit locations in the memory.
 The most practical assignment is to have
successive addresses refer to successive
byte locations in the memory – byte-
addressable memory.
 Byte locations have addresses 0, 1, 2, … If
word length is 32 bits, they successive words
are located at addresses 0, 4, 8,…

Big-Endian: lower byte addresses are used for the most significant bytes of the word
Little-Endian: opposite ordering. lower byte addresses are used for the less significant
bytes of the word

and Operation
 Address ordering of bytes
 Word alignment
 Words are said to be aligned in memory if they
begin at a byte addr. that is a multiple of the num
of bytes in a word.
 16-bit word: word addresses: 0, 2, 4,….
 32-bit word: word addresses: 0, 4, 8,….
 64-bit word: word addresses: 0, 8,16,….
 Access numbers, characters, and character
strings

Memory Operation
 Load (or Read or Fetch)
 Copy the content. The memory content doesn’t change.
 Address – Load
 Registers can be used
 Store (or Write)
 Overwrite the content in memory
 Address and Data – Store
 Registers can be used

Instruction and
Instruction
Sequencing

“Must-Perform” Operations
 Data transfers between the memory and the
processor registers
 Arithmetic and logic operations on data
 Program sequencing and control
 I/O transfers

Register Transfer Notation
 Identify a location by a symbolic name
standing for its hardware binary address
(LOC, R0,…)
 Contents of a location are denoted by placing
square brackets around the name of the
location (R1←[LOC], R3 ←[R1]+[R2])
 Register Transfer Notation (RTN)

Assembly Language Notation
 Represent machine instructions and
programs.
 Move LOC, R1 = R1←[LOC]
 Add R1, R2, R3 = R3 ←[R1]+[R2]

CPU Organization
 Single Accumulator
 Result usually goes to the Accumulator
 Accumulator has to be saved to memory quite
often
 General Register
 Registers hold operands thus reduce memory
traffic
 Register bookkeeping
 Stack
 Operands and result are always in the stack

Instruction Formats
 Three-Address Instructions
 ADD R1, R2, R3 R1 ← R2 + R3
 Two-Address Instructions
 ADD R1, R2 R1 ← R1 + R2
 One-Address Instructions
 ADD M AC ← AC + M[AR]
 Zero-Address Instructions
 ADD TOS ← TOS + (TOS – 1)
 RISC Instructions

Using Registers
 Registers are faster
 Shorter instructions
 The number of registers is smaller (e.g. 32
registers need 5 bits)
 Potential speedup
 Minimize the frequency with which data is
moved back and forth between the memory
and processor registers.

Generating Memory Addresses
 How to specify the address of branch target?
 Can we give the memory operand address
directly in a single Add instruction in the loop?
 Use a register to hold the address of NUM1;
then increment by 4 on each pass through
the loop.

Addressing Modes
 Implied
 AC is implied in “ADD M[AR]” in “One-Address”
instr.
 TOS is implied in “ADD” in “Zero-Address” instr.
 Immediate
 The use of a constant in “MOV R1, 5”, i.e. R1 ←
5
 Register
 Indicate which register holds the operand
Opcode Mode ...

Addressing Modes
 Register Indirect

 Direct Address
 Use the given address to access a memory
location

Addressing Modes
 The different
ways in which
the location of
an operand is
specified in
an instruction
are referred
to as
addressing
modes.
Name Assembler syntax Addressingfunction
Immediate #Value Operand = Value
Register Ri EA = Ri
Absolute(Direct) LOC EA = LOC
Indirect (Ri ) EA = [Ri ]
(LOC) EA = [LOC]
Index X(Ri) EA = [Ri ] + X
Basewith index (Ri ,Rj ) EA = [Ri ] + [Rj ]
Basewith index X(Ri,Rj ) EA = [Ri ] + [Rj ] + X
and offset
Relative X(PC) EA = [PC] + X
Autoincrement (Ri )+ EA = [Ri ] ;
Increment Ri
Autodecrement (Ri ) Decrement Ri ;
EA = [Ri]


Indexing and Arrays
 Index mode – the effective address of the operand is
generated by adding a constant value to the
contents of a register.
 Index register
 X(Ri): EA = X + [Ri]
 The constant X may be given either as an explicit
number or as a symbolic name representing a
numerical value.
 If X is shorter than a word, sign-extension is needed.

Indexing and Arrays
 In general, the Index mode facilitates access
to an operand whose location is defined
relative to a reference point within the data
structure in which the operand appears.
 Several variations:
(Ri, Rj): EA = [Ri] + [Rj]
X(Ri, Rj): EA = X + [Ri] + [Rj]

Relative Addressing
 Relative mode – the effective address is determined
by the Index mode using the program counter in
place of the general-purpose register.
 X(PC) – note that X is a signed number
 Branch>0 LOOP
 This location is computed by specifying it as an
offset from the current value of PC.
 Branch target may be either before or after the
branch instruction, the offset is given as a singed
num.

Additional Modes
 Autoincrement mode – the effective address of the operand is
the contents of a register specified in the instruction. After
accessing the operand, the contents of this register are
automatically incremented to point to the next item in a list.
 (Ri)+. The increment is 1 for byte-sized operands, 2 for 16-bit
operands, and 4 for 32-bit operands.
 Autodecrement mode: -(Ri) – decrement first

I/O
 The data on which the instructions operate
are not necessarily already stored in memory.
 Data need to be transferred between
processor and outside world (disk, keyboard,
etc.)
 I/O operations are essential, the way they are
performed can have a significant effect on the
performance of the computer.

Program-Controlled I/O
Example
 Read in character input from a keyboard and
produce character output on a display screen.
 Rate of data transfer (keyboard, display, processor)
 Difference in speed between processor and I/O device
creates the need for mechanisms to synchronize the
transfer of data.
 A solution: on output, the processor sends the first
character and then waits for a signal from the display
that the character has been received. It then sends the
second character. Input is sent from the keyboard in a
similar way.

Example
DATAIN DATAOUT
SIN SOUT
Key board Display
Bus
Figure 2.19 Bus connection for processor
, keyboard, and display
.
Processor
- Registers
- Flags
- Device interface

Example
 Machine instructions that can check the state
of the status flags and transfer data:
READWAIT Branch to READWAIT if SIN = 0
Input from DATAIN to R1
WRITEWAIT Branch to WRITEWAIT if SOUT = 0
Output from R1 to DATAOUT

Example
 Memory-Mapped I/O – some memory
address values are used to refer to peripheral
device buffer registers. No special
instructions are needed. Also use device
status registers.
READWAIT Testbit #3, INSTATUS
Branch=0 READWAIT
MoveByte DATAIN, R1

Example
 Assumption – the initial state of SIN is 0 and the
initial state of SOUT is 1.
 Any drawback of this mechanism in terms of
efficiency?
 Two wait loopsprocessor execution time is wasted
 Alternate solution?
 Interrupt

Home Work
 For each Addressing modes mentioned
before, state one example for each
addressing mode stating the specific benefit
for using such addressing mode for such an
application.

Multiplication and Division
 Not very popular (especially division)
 Multiply Ri, Rj
Rj ← [Ri] х [Rj]
 2n-bit product case: high-order half in R(j+1)
 Divide Ri, Rj
Rj ← [Ri] / [Rj]
Quotient is in Rj, remainder may be placed in R(j+1)

Encoding of
Machine
Instructions

Encoding of Machine
Instructions
 Assembly language program needs to be converted into machine
instructions. (ADD = 0100 in ARM instruction set)
 In the previous section, an assumption was made that all
instructions are one word in length.
 OP code: the type of operation to be performed and the type of
operands used may be specified using an encoded binary pattern
 Suppose 32-bit word length, 8-bit OP code (how many instructions
can we have?), 16 registers in total (how many bits?), 3-bit
addressing mode indicator.
 Add R1, R2
 Move 24(R0), R5
 LshiftR #2, R0
 Move #$3A, R1
 Branch>0 LOOP

(a) One-word instruction

Encoding of Machine
Instructions
 What happens if we want to specify a memory
operand using the Absolute addressing mode?
 Move R2, LOC
 14-bit for LOC – insufficient
 Solution – use two words
(b) Two-word instruction
Memory address/Immediate operand
OP code Source Dest Other info

Encoding of Machine
Instructions
 Then what if an instruction in which two operands
can be specified using the Absolute addressing
mode?
 Move LOC1, LOC2
 Solution – use two additional words
 This approach results in instructions of variable
length. Complex instructions can be implemented,
closely resembling operations in high-level
programming languages – Complex Instruction Set
Computer (CISC)

Encoding of Machine
Instructions
 If we insist that all instructions must fit into a single
32-bit word, it is not possible to provide a 32-bit
address or a 32-bit immediate operand within the
instruction.
 It is still possible to define a highly functional
instruction set, which makes extensive use of the
processor registers.
 Add R1, R2 ----- yes
 Add LOC, R2 ----- no
 Add (R3), R2 ----- yes
