Arithmetic & Logic Unit
• Does the calculations
• Almost everything else in the computer is there
to service this unit
• Handles integers
• May handle floating point (real) numbers

Reminder
• Let A=an-1an-2…a1a0 be a (pure) binary number
• Its (decimal) value is:
n 1
A   2 ai
i
i 0
Example:
10010 = 24 + 21 = 16 + 2 = 18

Integer Representation
• Only have 0 & 1 to represent everything
• Positive numbers stored in binary
 e.g. 41=00101001
 Binary digit = Bit
• No minus sign
• Negative integer representations:
 Sign-Magnitude
 Two’s complement
Rev. by Luciano Gualà (2008)

Sign-Magnitude
• Left most bit is sign bit
• 0 means positive
• 1 means negative
+18 = 00010010
-18 = 10010010
• Problems
 Need to consider both sign and magnitude in
arithmetic
 Two representations of zero (+0 and -0)

A better representation:
Two’s Complement
• Let A=an-1an-2…a1a0 be a n-length binary string
• It’s value is in Two’s Complement representation is:
A  2
n 1
n2
an 1   2 ai
i
i 0
if an-1=0 then A is a non-negative number
if an-1=1 then A is a negative number

Range of Numbers
• 8 bit 2’s complement
+127 = 01111111 = 27 -1
-128 = 10000000 = -27
• 16 bit 2’s complement
+32767 = 01111111 11111111 = 215 - 1
-32768 = 10000000 00000000 = -215

2’s Complement representation for
negative numbers
•
To represent a negative number using the
“two’s complement” technique:
1. First decide how many bits are used for
representation
2. Then write the modulo of the negative number (in
pure binary)
3. Then, change each 0 in 1, each 1 in 0 (Boolean
Complement or “one’s complement”)
4. Finally, add 1 (as the result of Step 3 was a pure
binary number)
Rev. by Luciano Gualà (2008)

Examples
• E.g.: how to represent -3 with 4 bits:
 Start from +3 = 0011
 Boolean complement gives
 Add 1 to LSB gives -3
• Represent -20 with 8 bits:
 Start from +20 =
 Bolean complement gives
 Add 1

11101011

• Negation works in the same way, e.g. negation of -3 is
obtained by the “two’s complement” of -3:
 Representation of -3
 Boolean complement gives
 Add 1 to LSB gives -(-3)=+3

Negation Special Case 1
•
•
•
•
•
•
0=
0000
Bitwise NOT
1111 (Boolean complement)
Add 1 to LSB
+1
Result
1 0000
Carry is ignored, so:
- 0 = 0 OK !

Negation Special Case 2
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
-8 =
1000
Bitwise NOT
0111 (Boolean complement)
Add 1 to LSB
+1
Result
1000
So:
-(-8) = -8 WRONG !
Monitor MSB (sign bit)
If it does not change during negation there is a
mistake (but for 0!)

Conversion Between Lengths
• Positive number: pack with leading zeroes
+18 =
00010010
+18 = 00000000 00010010
• Negative number: pack with leading ones
-18 =
11101110
-18 = 11111111 11101110
• i.e. pack with MSB (sign bit)
Rev. by Luciano Gualà (2008)

Addition and Subtraction
• Addition: standard
• Overflow: when the result needs more bits to be
represented
• Monitor MSB: if it changes there may be an overflow
 When Pos + Pos or Neg + Neg the sign bit should not change: if
it does there is an overflow
• Subtraction: take two’s complement of subtrahend and
add to minuend
 i.e.:
a - b = a + (-b)
• So we only need addition and complement circuits

Real Numbers
• …very informally, numbers with the
fractional point
• Actually, only finite precision real numbers
• we need to code the binary point
• we need to code the binary point position
• Solution: floating point numbers
Rev. by Luciano Gualà (2008)

Reminder
• Let A=an-1an-2…a1a0 ,a-1,a-2,…,a-m be a binary number
• Its value is:
n 1
A   2 ai 
i
i 0
1
2 a
j
j  m

Real Numbers
• Where is the binary point?
 Fixed?
• Very limited
 Moving?
• How do you show where it is?
• Example:
976.000.000.000.000
= 9,76 * 1014
0,0000000000000976
= 9,76 * 10-14

Sign bit
Floating Point
Biased
Exponent
Significand or Mantissa
• Represents the value
+/- .<significand> * <base><exponent>
• “Floating” refers to the fact that the true
position of the point “floats” according to the
value of the exponent
Rev. by Luciano Gualà (2008)
8 - 23
Normalization
(10,0101)2= 10,0101* 20 = 10010,1 * 2-3
= 1001010 * 2-5
= 0,00100101 * 24
• Floating Point numbers are usually normalized
 exponent is adjusted so that there is a single bit equal to 1
before the binary point
• Similar to scientific notation for decimal numbers where
numbers are normalized to give a single digit before the
decimal point
3123 = 3.123 x 103
Rev. by Luciano Gualà (2008)
8 - 24
Normalization
• A normalized number ( 0) has the following form:
+/- 1,bbb…b * 2 +/- E
where
b  {0,1}
• The base (or radix) for the exponent is suppose to be 2
(so it is not represented)
• Since MSB of the mantissa is always 1 there is no need
to represent it
Rev. by Luciano Gualà (2008)

Typical Representation of
Floating Point with 32 bits
• Mantissa uses 23 bits to store a 24 bits pure binary
number in the interval [1,2)
• Sign is stored in the first bit
• Exponent value is represented in excess or biased
notation with 8 bits
• Excess (bias) 127 means




8 bit exponent field
Nominal exponent value has range 0-255
Subtract 127 (= 28-1-1) to get correct exponent value
Real range of exponent value is -127 to +128
Rev. by Luciano Gualà (2008)
8 - 26
excess (bias) notation
• Two parameters are
specified:
 the number of bits n
 the bias value K
(usually, K=2n -1 -1)
• the string consisting
of all 0s represents
the value –K
• the string consisting
of all 1s represents
the value –K + 2n-1
n = 4 K=7

density
• Precision decreases with the increase of modulo
(representation is denser for smaller numbers)
• How many numbers can we represent in the interval
[2,4)?
• And in the range [4,8)?
• they are the same: 223
Note: Finite precision: (10.0/3.0)*3.0 may be different from 10.0
