SYSTEM BUSES
The major computer system components (processor, main
memory, I/O modules) need to be interconnected in order to
exchange data and control signals
A bus is a communication pathway connecting two or more
devices
A bus that connects major computer components (processor,
memory, I/O) is called a system bus.
Bus = a shared transmission medium. Only one device at a
time Can successfully transmit.
shared system bus consisting of multiple lines
a hierarchy of buses to improve performance.
Key design elements for buses include: Arbitration,
Timing, width

5
MULTIPLE BUS HIERARCHIES
In general, the more devices attached to the bus,
the greater the bus length and hence the greater
the propagation delay.
The bus may become a bottleneck as the
aggregate data transfer demand approaches the
capacity of the bus.

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
6
SYNCHRONOUS BUSES
Synchronous buses include a clock line between the control
lines, line that is controlled by a clock quartz oscillator,
usually between 5 - 133 MHz
All the transfers on the system bus has a fixed protocol
related to the clock signal, and it is developed along an
integer number of cycles, called bus cycles.
The advantages of a synchronous bus are a high speed of
transfer, the very simple implied logic
The disadvantage comes from transfers that can be shorter
than the time corresponding to the integer number of bus
cycles.

INTRODUCTION
Every different processor type has its own design
(different registers, buses, microoperations, machine
instructions, etc)

Modern processor is a very complex device

It contains
Many registers

Multiple arithmetic units, for both integer and floating point


calculations
The ability to pipeline several consecutive instructions to speed
execution etc.

INTRODUCTION
However, to understand how processors work, we will
start with a simplified processor model

This is similar to what real processors were like ~25


years ago

M. Morris Mano introduces a simple processor model he


calls the Basic Computer

We will use this to introduce processor organization and


the relationship of the RTL model to the higher level
computer processor

BASIC COMPUTER
The Basic Computer has two components, a processor and memory

The memory has 4096 words in it


4096 = 212, so it takes 12 bits to select a word in memory

Each word is 16 bits long

Instruction codes
INSTRUCTIONS

Program
A sequence of (machine) instructions

(Machine) Instruction
A group of bits that tell the computer to perform a specific
operation (a sequence of micro-operation)
The instructions of a program, along with any needed data are
stored in memory
The CPU reads the next instruction from memory
It is placed in an Instruction Register (IR)
Control circuitry in control unit then translates the instruction
into the sequence of microoperations necessary to implement it

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
11
Instruction codes
INSTRUCTION FORMAT
A computer instruction is often divided into two parts

An opcode (Operation Code) that specifies the


operation for that instruction
An address that specifies the registers and/or locations
in memory to use for that operation

In the Basic Computer, since the memory contains 4096 (=


212) words, we needs 12 bit to specify which memory
address this instruction will use

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
12
Instruction codes
INSTRUCTION FORMAT
In the Basic Computer, bit 15 of the instruction specifies
the addressing mode (0: direct addressing, 1: indirect
addressing)

Since the memory words, and hence the instructions, are


16 bits long, that leaves 3 bits for the instructions opcode

ADDRESSING MODES
The address field of an instruction can represent either
Direct address: the address in memory of the data to use (the address of the
operand), or
Indirect address: the address in memory of the address in memory of the
data to use Direct addressing Indirect addressing

Instruction codes
PROCESSOR REGISTERS
A processor has many registers to hold instructions, addresses,
data, etc
The processor has a register, the Program Counter (PC) that holds
the memory address of the next instruction to get
Since the memory in the Basic Computer only has 4096
locations, the PC only needs 12 bits
In a direct or indirect addressing, the processor needs to keep
track of what locations in memory it is addressing: The Address
Register (AR) is used for this
The AR is a 12 bit register in the Basic Computer
When an operand is found, using either direct or indirect
addressing, it is placed in the Data Register (DR). The processor
then uses this value as data for its operation
The Basic Computer has a single general purpose register the
Accumulator (AC)
Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
15
Instruction codes
PROCESSOR REGISTERS
The significance of a general purpose register is that it can be
referred to in instructions
e.g. load AC with the contents of a specific memory location;
store the contents of AC into a specified memory location
Often a processor will need a scratch register to store
intermediate results or other temporary data; in the Basic
Computer this is the Temporary Register (TR)
The Basic Computer uses a very simple model of input/output
(I/O) operations
Input devices are considered to send 8 bits of character data
to the processor
The processor can send 8 bits of character data to output
devices

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
16
PROCESSOR REGISTERS
The Input Register (INPR) holds an 8 bit character gotten from
an input device
The Output Register (OUTR) holds an 8 bit character to be
send to an output device

CONTROL UNIT

Control unit (CU) of a processor translates from machine


instructions to the control signals for the microoperations that
implement them
Control units are implemented in one of two ways
Hardwired Control
CU is made up of sequential and combinational circuits to generate
the control signals
Microprogrammed Control
A control memory on the processor contains microprograms that
activate the necessary control signals

We will consider a hardwired implementation of the control


unit for the Basic Computer

INSTRUCTION CYCLE

In Basic Computer, a machine instruction is executed


in the following cycle:
Fetch an instruction from memory
Decode the instruction
Read the effective address from memory if the instruction has
an indirect address
Execute the instruction

After an instruction is executed, the cycle starts again


at step 1, for the next instruction
Note: Every different processor has its own (different)
instruction cycle

INTERRUPT INITIATED INPUT/OUTPUT
- Open communication only when some data has to be passed --> interrupt.

- The I/O interface, instead of the CPU, monitors the I/O device.

- When the interface founds that the I/O device is ready for data transfer,
it generates an interrupt request to the CPU

- Upon detecting an interrupt, the CPU stops momentarily the task


it is doing, branches to the service routine to process the data
transfer, and then returns to the task it was performing.

* IEN (Interrupt-enable flip-flop)


- can be set and cleared by instructions
- when cleared, the computer cannot be interrupted

INTERRUPT CYCLE

- The interrupt cycle is a HW implementation of a branch


and save return address operation.
- At the beginning of the next instruction cycle, the
instruction that is read from memory is in address 1.
-At memory address 1, the programmer must store a branch
instruction that sends the control to an interrupt service
routine
- The instruction that returns the control to the original
program is "indirect BUN 0"

I/O and Interrupt
FURTHER QUESTIONS ON INTERRUPT

How can the CPU recognize the device requesting an


interrupt ?

Since different devices are likely to require different


interrupt service routines, how can the CPU obtain the
starting address of the appropriate routine in each case ?

Should any device be allowed to interrupt the CPU while


another interrupt is being serviced ?

How can the situation be handled when two or more


interrupt requests occur simultaneously ?

MICROINSTRUCTION FORMAT

Information in a Microinstruction
- Control Information
- Sequencing Information
- Constant
Information which is useful when feeding into the system

These information needs to be organized in some way for


- Efficient use of the microinstruction bits
- Fast decoding

Field Encoding

- Encoding the microinstruction bits


- Encoding slows down the execution speed
due to the decoding delay
- Encoding also reduces the flexibility due to
the decoding hardware

HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL
MICROINSTRUCTION FORMAT
Horizontal Microinstructions
Each bit directly controls each micro-operation or each control point
Horizontal implies a long microinstruction word
Advantages: Can control a variety of components operating in parallel.
--> Advantage of efficient hardware utilization
Disadvantages: Control word bits are not fully utilized
--> CS becomes large --> Costly
Vertical Microinstructions
A microinstruction format that is not horizontal
Vertical implies a short microinstruction word
Encoded Microinstruction fields
--> Needs decoding circuits for one or two levels of decoding

The decoder circuits in a vertical microprogram
storage organization can be replaced by a ROM
=> Two levels of control storage
First level - Control Storage
Second level - Nano Storage

Two-level microprogram

First level
-Vertical format Microprogram
Second level
-Horizontal format Nanoprogram
- Interprets the microinstruction fields, thus converts a vertical
microinstruction format into a horizontal
nanoinstruction format.

Usually, the microprogram consists of a large number of short


microinstructions, while the nanoprogram contains fewer words
with longer nanoinstructions.

TWO-LEVEL MICROPROGRAMMING
EXAMPLE Control Storage Hierarchy
* Microprogram: 2048 microinstructions of 200 bits each
* With 1-Level Control Storage: 2048 x 200 = 409,600 bits
* Assumption:
256 distinct microinstructions among 2048
* With 2-Level Control Storage:
Nano Storage: 256 x 200 bits to store 256 distinct nanoinstructions
Control storage: 2048 x 8 bits
To address 256 nano storage locations 8 bits are needed

REGISTERS
In Basic Computer, there is only one general purpose register, the
Accumulator (AC)
In modern CPUs, there are many general purpose registers
It is advantageous to have many registers
Transfer between registers within the processor are relatively fast
Going off the processor to access memory is much slower

How many registers will be the best ?

PROCESSOR ORGANIZATION
In general, most processors are organized in one of 3 ways
Single register (Accumulator) organization
Basic Computer is a good example
Accumulator is the only general purpose register
General register organization
Used by most modern computer processors
Any of the registers can be used as the source or destination for
computer operations
Stack organization
All operations are done using the hardware stack
For example, an OR instruction will pop the two top
elements from the stack, do a logical OR on them, and
push the result on the stack

99
INSTRUCTION FORMAT
Instruction Fields
OP-code field - specifies the operation to be performed
Address field - designates memory address(es) or a processor register(s)
Mode field - determines how the address field is to be interpreted (to
get effective address or the operand)

The number of address fields in the instruction format


depends on the internal organization of CPU

The three most common CPU organizations:


Single accumulator organization:
ADD X /* AC AC + M[X] */
General register organization:
ADD R1, R2, R3 /* R1 R2 + R3 */
ADD R1, R2 /* R1 R1 + R2 */
MOV R1, R2 /* R1 R2 */
ADD R1, X /* R1 R1 + M[X] */
Stack organization:
PUSH X /* TOS M[X] */
ADD

102
ADDRESSING MODES

Addressing Modes

* Specifies a rule for interpreting or modifying the


address field of the instruction (before the operand
is actually referenced)

* Variety of addressing modes

- to give programming flexibility to the user


- to use the bits in the address field of the instruction
efficiently

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
103
TYPES OF ADDRESSING MODES

Implied Mode
Address of the operands are specified implicitly
in the definition of the instruction
- No need to specify address in the instruction
- EA = AC, or EA = Stack [SP]
- Examples from Basic Computer
CLA, CME, INP

Immediate Mode
Instead of specifying the address of the operand,
operand itself is specified
- No need to specify address in the instruction
- However, operand itself needs to be specified
- Sometimes, require more bits than the address
- Fast to acquire an operand

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
104
TYPES OF ADDRESSING MODES

Register Mode
Address specified in the instruction is the register address
- Designated operand need to be in a register
- Shorter address than the memory address
- Saving address field in the instruction
- Faster to acquire an operand than the memory addressing
- EA = IR(R) (IR(R): Register field of IR)

Register Indirect Mode


Instruction specifies a register which contains
the memory address of the operand
- Saving instruction bits since register address
is shorter than the memory address
- Slower to acquire an operand than both the
register addressing or memory addressing
- EA = [IR(R)] ([x]: Content of x)

Autoincrement or Autodecrement Mode


- When the address in the register is used to access memory, the
value in the register is incremented or decremented by 1
automatically
Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
105
TYPES OF ADDRESSING MODES

Direct Address Mode


Instruction specifies the memory address which
can be used directly to access the memory
- Faster than the other memory addressing modes
- Too many bits are needed to specify the address
for a large physical memory space
- EA = IR(addr) (IR(addr): address field of IR)

Indirect Addressing Mode


The address field of an instruction specifies the address of a memory
location that contains the address of the operand
- When the abbreviated address is used large physical memory can be
addressed with a relatively small number of bits
- Slow to acquire an operand because of an additional memory access
- EA = M[IR(address)]

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
106
TYPES OF ADDRESSING MODES

Relative Addressing Modes


The Address fields of an instruction specifies the part of the address
(abbreviated address) which can be used along with a designated
register to calculate the address of the operand
- Address field of the instruction is short
- Large physical memory can be accessed with a small number of
address bits
- EA = f(IR(address), R), R is sometimes implied
3 different Relative Addressing Modes depending on R;
* PC Relative Addressing Mode (R = PC)
- EA = PC + IR(address)
* Indexed Addressing Mode (R = IX, where IX: Index Register)
- EA = IX + IR(address)
* Base Register Addressing Mode
(R = BAR, where BAR: Base Address Register)
- EA = BAR + IR(address)

FLAG, PROCESSOR STATUS WORD
In Basic Computer, the processor had several (status) flags 1 bit
value that indicated various information about the processors state
E, FGI, FGO, I, IEN, R
In some processors, flags like these are often combined into a register
the processor status register (PSR); sometimes called a processor
status word (PSW)
Common flags in PSW are
C (Carry): Set to 1 if the carry out of the ALU is 1
S (Sign): The MSB bit of the ALUs output Status Flag Circuit

PROGRAM INTERRUPT
Types of Interrupts
External interrupts
External Interrupts initiated from the outside of CPU and Memory
- I/O Device Data transfer request or Data transfer complete
- Timing Device Timeout
- Power Failure
- Operator

Internal interrupts (traps)


Internal Interrupts are caused by the currently running program
- Register, Stack Overflow
- Divide by zero
- OP-code Violation
- Protection Violation

Software Interrupts
Both External and Internal Interrupts are initiated by the computer HW.
Software Interrupts are initiated by the executing an instruction.
- Supervisor Call Switching from a user mode to the supervisor mode

Program Control
INTERRUPT PROCEDURE
Interrupt Procedure and Subroutine Call
The interrupt is usually initiated by an internal or an external signal
rather than from the execution of an instruction (except for the
software interrupt)
The address of the interrupt service program is determined by the
hardware rather than from the address field of an instruction
An interrupt procedure usually stores all the information necessary
to define the state of CPU rather than storing only the PC.
The state of the CPU is determined from;
Content of the PC
Content of all processor registers
Content of status bits
Many ways of saving the CPU state depending on the CPU

COMPLEX INSTRUCTION SET
COMPUTER
These computers with many instructions and
addressing modes came to be known as
Complex Instruction Set Computers (CISC)

One goal for CISC machines was to have a


machine language instruction to match each
high-level language statement type

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
122
VARIABLE LENGTH INSTRUCTIONS
The large number of instructions and addressing modes led CISC
machines to have variable length instruction formats
The large number of instructions means a greater number of bits to
specify them
In order to manage this large number of opcodes efficiently, they were
encoded with different lengths:
More frequently used instructions were encoded using short opcodes.
Less frequently used ones were assigned longer opcodes.
Also, multiple operand instructions could specify different addressing
modes for each operand
For example,
Operand 1 could be a directly addressed register,
Operand 2 could be an indirectly addressed memory location,
Operand 3 (the destination) could be an indirectly addressed register.
All of this led to the need to have different length instructions in different
situations, depending on the opcode and operands used

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
123
Cont
For example, an instruction that only specifies register operands
may only be two bytes in length
One byte to specify the instruction and addressing mode
One byte to specify the source and destination registers.

An instruction that specifies memory addresses for operands may


need five bytes
One byte to specify the instruction and addressing mode
Two bytes to specify each memory address
Maybe more if theres a large amount of memory.

Variable length instructions greatly complicate the fetch and decode


problem for a processor

The circuitry to recognize the various instructions and to properly


fetch the required number of bytes for operands is very complex

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
124
COMPLEX INSTRUCTION SET
COMPUTER
Another characteristic of CISC computers is that they have instructions
that act directly on memory addresses
For example,
ADD L1, L2, L3
that takes the contents of M[L1] adds it to the contents of M[L2] and stores the result
in location M[L3]
An instruction like this takes three memory access cycles to execute
That makes for a potentially very long instruction execution cycle

The problems with CISC computers are

The complexity of the design may slow down the processor,


The complexity of the design may result in costly errors in the processor design and
implementation,
Many of the instructions and addressing modes are used rarely, if ever

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.

SUMMARY: CRITICISMS ON CISC
High Performance General Purpose Instructions

- Complex Instruction
Format, Length, Addressing Modes
Complicated instruction cycle control due to the complex
decoding HW and decoding process

- Multiple memory cycle instructions


Operations on memory data
Multiple memory accesses/instruction

- Microprogrammed control is necessity


Microprogram control storage takes substantial portion of CPU
chip area
Semantic Gap is large between machine instruction and
microinstruction

- General purpose instruction set includes all the features

REDUCED INSTRUCTION SET
COMPUTERS
In the late 70s and early 80s there was a reaction to the
shortcomings of the CISC style of processors
Reduced Instruction Set Computers (RISC) were proposed as
an alternative
The underlying idea behind RISC processors is to simplify the
instruction set and reduce instruction execution time

RISC processors often feature:

Few instructions
Few addressing modes
Only load and store instructions access memory
All other operations are done using on-processor registers
Fixed length instructions
Single cycle execution of instructions
The control unit is hardwired, not microprogrammed.

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
127
Cont
Since all but the load and store instructions use only registers for
operands, only a few addressing modes are needed
By having all instructions the same length, reading them in is easy and
fast
The fetch and decode stages are simple, looking much more like
Manos Basic Computer than a CISC machine
The instruction and address formats are designed to be easy to
decode
Unlike the variable length CISC instructions, the opcode and register
fields of RISC instructions can be decoded simultaneously
The control logic of a RISC processor is designed to be simple and
fast
The control logic is simple because of the small number of instructions
and the simple addressing modes
The control logic is hardwired, rather than microprogrammed, because
hardwired control is faster

REGISTERS

By simplifying the instructions and addressing modes,


there is space available on the chip or board of a RISC
CPU for more circuits than with a CISC processor
This extra capacity is used to
Pipeline instruction execution to speed up instruction
execution
Add a large number of registers to the CPU

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
132
PIPELINING

A very important feature of many RISC processors is the


ability to execute an instruction each clock cycle
This may seem nonsensical, since it takes at least once
clock cycle each to fetch, decode and execute an
instruction.
It is however possible, because of a technique known as
pipelining
Well study this in detail later
Pipelining is the use of the processor to work on different
phases of multiple instructions in parallel

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
133
Cont
For instance, at one time, a pipelined processor may be
Executing instruction it
Decoding instruction it+1
Fetching instruction it+2 from memory

So, if were running three instructions at once, and it takes an


average instruction three cycles to run, the CPU is executing an
average of an instruction a clock cycle

As well see when we cover it in depth, there are complications


For example, what happens to the pipeline when the processor branches

However, pipelined execution is an integral part of all modern


processors, and plays an important role

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
134
REGISTERS

By having a large number of general purpose registers, a processor


can minimize the number of times it needs to access memory to load
or store a value
This results in a significant speed up, since memory accesses are
much slower than register accesses
Register accesses are fast, since they just use the bus on the CPU
itself, and any transfer can be done in one clock cycle
To go off-processor to memory requires using the much slower
memory (or system) bus
It may take many clock cycles to read or write to memory across the
memory bus
The memory bus hardware is usually slower than the processor
There may even be competition for access to the memory bus by other devices in
the computer (e.g. disk drives)
So, for this reason alone, a RISC processor may have an advantage
over a comparable CISC processor, since it only needs to access
memory
for its instructions, and
occasionally to load or store a memory value

Observations
Weighted Dynamic Frequency of HLL Operations
Procedure call/return is the most time consuming operations
Locality of Procedure Nesting
The depth of procedure activation fluctuates within a
relatively narrow range
A typical procedure employs only a few passed
parameters and local variables
Solution
Use multiple small sets of registers (windows), each assigned to
a different procedure
A procedure call automatically switches the CPU to use a
different window of registers, rather than saving registers in
memory
Windows for adjacent procedures are overlapped to allow
parameter passing

139
OVERLAPPED REGISTER WINDOWS
There are three classes of registers:
Global Registers
Available to all functions
Window local registers
Variables local to the function
Window shared registers
Permit data to be shared without actually needing to copy it
Only one register window is active at a time
The active register window is indicated by a pointer
When a function is called, a new register window is activated
This is done by incrementing the pointer
When a function calls a new function, the high numbered registers
of the calling function window are shared with the called function as
the low numbered registers in its register window
This way the callers high and the called functions low registers
overlap and can be used to pass parameters and results

Bharati Vidyapeeths Institute of Computer Applications and Management, New Delhi-63, by Dr. Deepali Kamthania U1.
140
Cont
In addition to the overlapped register windows, the processor
has some number of registers, G, that are global registers
This is, all functions can access the global registers.
The advantage of overlapped register windows is that the
processor does not have to push registers on a stack to save
values and to pass parameters when there is a function call
Conversely, pop the stack on a function return
This saves
Accesses to memory to access the stack.
The cost of copying the register contents at all
And, since function calls and returns are so common, this
results in a significant savings relative to a stack-based
approach

A long is simply loaded, since it is the same size as the register (32 bits).
A short or a byte can be loaded into a register
Unsigned - in which case the upper bits of the register are loaded with 0s.
Signed - in which case the upper bits of the register are loaded with the sign bit of
the short/byte loaded.
