Instructions:
 Language of the Machine
 More primitive than higher level languages
e.g., no sophisticated control flow
 Very restrictive
e.g., MIPS Arithmetic Instructions
 We’ll be working with the MIPS instruction set architecture (some of
you have done this in 2030)
 a representative of Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC)
 similar to other architectures developed since the 1980's
 used by NEC, Nintendo, Silicon Graphics, Sony
Design goals: Maximize performance and Minimize cost, Reduce design time
H.-H. S. Lee

MIPS arithmetic
 All instructions have 3 operands
 Operand order is fixed (destination first)
Example:
C code:
A = B + C
MIPS code:
add $s0, $s1, $s2
(associated with variables by compiler)
H.-H. S. Lee
3
MIPS arithmetic
 Design Principle: simplicity favors regularity.
 Of course this complicates some things...
C code:
A = B + C + D;
E = F - A;
MIPS code:
add $t0, $s1, $s2
add $s0, $t0, $s3
sub $s4, $s5, $s0
 Operands must be registers, only 32 registers provided
 All memory accesses are accomplished via loads and stores

H.-H. S. Lee
A common feature of RISC processors

Registers vs. Memory
 Arithmetic instructions operands must be registers,
— only 32 registers provided
 Compiler associates variables with registers
 What about programs with lots of variables

Memory Organization
 Viewed as a large, single-dimension array, with an
address.
 A memory address is an index into the array
 "Byte addressing" means that the index points to a
byte of memory.

Memory Organization



Bytes are nice, but most data items use larger "words“
MIPS provides lw/lh/lb and sw/sh/sb instructions
For MIPS, a word is 32 bits or 4 bytes.




H.-H. S. Lee
(Intel’s word=16 bits and double word or dword=32bits)
0 32 bits of data
4 32 bits of data
Registers hold 32 bits of data
8 32 bits of data
12 32 bits of data
232 bytes...with byte addresses from 0 to 232-1
230 words with byte addresses 0, 4, 8, ... 232-4
Words are aligned
i.e., what are the least 2 significant bits of a word address?
7
Endianness [defined by Danny Cohen 1981]
 Byte ordering  How a multiple byte data word stored
in memory
 Endianness (from Gulliver’s Travels)
 Big Endian
 Most significant byte of a multi-byte word is stored at the lowest
memory address
 e.g. Sun Sparc, PowerPC
 Little Endian
 Least significant byte of a multi-byte word is stored at the lowest
memory address
 e.g. Intel x86
 Some embedded & DSP processors would support
both for interoperability
H.-H. S. Lee

Instructions
 Load and store instructions
 Example:
4 bytes
A[0]
32 bits of data
A[1]
C code:
MIPS code:
long A[100];
A[2]
A[9] = h + A[8];
lw $t0, 32($s3)
add $t0, $s2, $t0
sw $t0, 36($s3)
32 bits of data
32 bits of data
32 bits of data
 Store word has destination last
 Remember arithmetic operands are registers, not memory!

temp = v[k]
v[k] = v[k+1];
v[k+1] = temp;

 MIPS Software Convention

H.-H. S. Lee
$4, $5, $6, $7 are used for passing arguments
11
So far we’ve learned:
 MIPS
— loading words but addressing bytes
— arithmetic on registers only
 Instruction
add $s1, $s2, $s3
sub $s1, $s2, $s3
lw $s1, 100($s2)
sw $s1, 100($s2)
H.-H. S. Lee
Meaning
$s1 = $s2 + $s3
$s1 = $s2 – $s3
$s1 = Memory[$s2+100]
Memory[$s2+100] = $s1

Consider the load-word and store-word instructions,
 What would the regularity principle have us do?
 New principle: Good design demands a compromise
Introduce a new type of instruction format
 I-type for data transfer instructions
 other format was R-type for register

Stored Program Concept


Instructions are bits
Programs are stored in memory
— to be read or written just like data
Processor

H.-H. S. Lee
Memory
memory for data, programs,
compilers, editors, etc.
Fetch & Execute Cycle
 Instructions are fetched and put into a special register
 Bits in the register "control" the subsequent actions
 Fetch the “next” instruction and continue
21
Control

Decision making instructions
 alter the control flow,
 i.e., change the "next" instruction to be executed

MIPS conditional branch instructions:
bne $t0, $t1, Label
beq $t0, $t1, Label

Example:
if (i==j) h = i + j;
bne $s0, $s1, Label
add $s3, $s0, $s1
Label: ....
H.-H. S. Lee
22
Control

MIPS unconditional branch instructions:
j label

Example:
if (i!=j)
h=i+j;
else
h=i-j;

H.-H. S. Lee
beq $s4, $s5, Lab1
add $s3, $s4, $s5
j Lab2
Lab1: sub $s3, $s4, $s5
Lab2: ...
Can you build a simple for loop?

Control Flow


We have: beq, bne, what about Branch-if-less-than?
New instruction:
if $s1 < $s2 then
$t0 = 1
slt $t0, $s1, $s2
else
$t0 = 0

Can use this instruction to build "blt $s1, $s2, Label"
— can now build general control structures
For ease of assembly programmers, the assembler allows “blt” as a
“pseudo-instruction”
— assembler substitutes them with valid MIPS instructions
— there are policy of use conventions for registers

blt $4 $5 loop
H.-H. S. Lee

slt $1 $4 $5
bne $1 $0 loop
2 27
Constants



Small constants are used quite frequently (50% of operands)
e.g.,
A = A + 5;
B = B + 1;
C = C - 18;
Solutions? Why not?
 put 'typical constants' in memory and load them.
 create hard-wired registers (like $zero) for constants like one.
 Use immediate values
MIPS Instructions:
addi $29, $29, 4
slti $8, $18, 10
andi $29, $29, 6
ori $29, $29, 4
H.-H. S. Lee
3 28
How about larger constants?


We'd like to be able to load a 32 bit constant into a register
Must use two instructions, new "load upper immediate" instruction
lui $t0, 1010101010101010
filled with zeros

1010101010101010
0000000000000000
Then must get the lower order bits right, i.e.,
ori $t0, $t0, 1010101010101010
1010101010101010
0000000000000000

Assembly Language vs. Machine
Language
 Assembly provides convenient symbolic
representation
 much easier than writing down numbers
 e.g., destination first
 Machine language is the underlying reality
 e.g., destination is no longer first
 Assembly can provide 'pseudoinstructions'
 e.g., “move $t0, $t1” exists only in Assembly
 would be implemented using “add $t0,$t1,$zero”
 When considering performance you should count real
instructions
H.-H. S. Lee
31
Other Issues
 Things we are not going to cover
support for procedures
linkers, loaders, memory layout
stacks, frames, recursion
manipulating strings and pointers
interrupts and exceptions
system calls and conventions
 Some of these we'll talk about later
 We've focused on architectural issues
 basics of MIPS assembly language and machine code
 we’ll build a processor to execute these instructions.

Alternative Architectures
 Design alternative:
 provide more powerful operations
 goal is to reduce number of instructions executed
 danger is a slower cycle time and/or a higher CPI
 Sometimes referred to as “RISC vs. CISC”
 virtually all new instruction sets since 1982 have been RISC
 VAX: minimize code size, make assembly language easy
instructions from 1 to 54 bytes long!
 We’ll look at PowerPC and 80x86

PowerPC
 Indexed addressing
 example:
lw $t1,$a0+$s3
#$t1=Memory[$a0+$s3]
 What do we have to do in MIPS?
 Update addressing
 update a register as part of load (for marching through
arrays)
 example: lwu $t0,4($s3)
#$t0=Memory[$s3+4];$s3=$s3+4
 What do we have to do in MIPS?
 Others:
 load multiple/store multiple
 a special counter register “bc Loop”
decrement counter, if not 0 goto loop

1978: The Intel 8086 is announced (16 bit architecture)
1980: The 8087 floating point coprocessor is added
1982: The 80286 increases address space to 24 bits, +instructions
1985: The 80386 extends to 32 bits, new addressing modes
1989-1995: The 80486, Pentium, Pentium Pro add a few instructions
(mostly designed for higher performance)
1997: MMX (SIMD-INT) is added (PPMT and P-II)
1999: SSE (single prec. SIMD-FP and cacheability instructions) is added in P-III
2001: SSE2 (double prec. SIMD-FP) is added in P4
2004: Nocona introduced (compatible with AMD64 or once called x86-64)
“This history illustrates the impact of the “golden handcuffs” of compatibility
“adding new features as someone might add clothing to a packed bag”
“an architecture that is difficult to explain and impossible to love”

A Dominant Architecture: 80x86



See your textbook for a more detailed description
Complexity:
 Instructions from 1 to 17 bytes long
 one operand must act as both a source and destination
 one operand can come from memory
 complex addressing modes
e.g., “base or scaled index with 8 or 32 bit displacement”
Saving grace:
 the most frequently used instructions are not too difficult to build
 compilers avoid the portions of the architecture that are slow
“what the 80x86 lacks in style is made up in quantity,
making it beautiful from the right perspective”

Summary
 Instruction complexity is only one variable
 lower instruction count vs. higher CPI / lower clock rate
 Design Principles:




simplicity favors regularity
smaller is faster
good design demands compromise
make the common case fast
 Instruction set architecture
 a very important abstraction indeed!
