CSE36037 What if you had to build your own computer – from scratch?

CSE36038 Course Objectives u Understanding the architecture (how the computer executes assembly language instructions) is the more important aspect of a course at this level. u The fundamental concept to understand is that everything in the computer is represented by ones and zeros (by electric current flowing or not flowing at a specific place, or by something being magnetized one direction or the other, etc.).

CSE36039 Course Objectives u At the lowest level, this course will cover various binary formats of assembly language instructions and various ways in which data can be represented using ones and zeros and how these can be organized into a program. u At high levels, assembly language programming techniques will be studied and a specific assembly language will be used to illustrate these techniques.

Luke Skywalker’s initial Windows password is 6789ls!

CSE36043 Make a Table on an Index Card u Show Different Representations of Numeric Values. –Column Headings Should be: DecimalOctalHexadecimalBinary

CSE36044 One Row for Each Numeric Value. u Show, in Increasing Order, –Representations for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … 20 –Then, 2 5, 2 6, … 2 16 –Finally 2 20, 2 30, 2 31, 2 32

CSE36045 For Example, DecimalOctalHexBinaryNoteRoman Nat’l Lang 0000 zero 11112 0 Ione 222102 1 IItwo And so on. 20241410100 XXIVTwenty 3240201000002 5 XXXII.. And so on... 2 16 2 20 2 30 2 31 2 32

CSE36046 Information Representation 1 u Positional Number Systems: position of character in string indicates a power of the base (radix). Common bases: 2, 8, 10, 16. (What base are we using to express the names of these bases?) –Base ten (decimal): digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 form the alphabet of the decimal system.  E.g., 316 10 = –Base eight (octal): digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 form the alphabet.  E.g., 474 8 =

CSE36047 Information Representation 2 –Base 16 (hexadecimal): digits 0-9 and A-F.  E.g., 13C 16 = –Base 2 (binary): digits (called “bits”) 0, 1 form the alphabet.  E.g., 100110 = –In general, radix r representations use the first r chars in {0…9, A...Z} and have the form d n-1 d n-2 …d 1 d 0. Summing d n-1  r n-1 + d n-2  r n-2 + … + d 0  r 0 will convert to base 10. Why to base 10?

CSE36048 Information Representation 3 u Base Conversions –Convert to base 10 by multiplication of powers  E.g., 10012 5 = ( ) 10 –Convert from base 10 by repeated division  E.g., 632 10 = ( ) 8 –Converting base x to base y: convert base x to base 10 then convert base 10 to base y

CSE36049 Information Representation 4 –Special case: converting among binary, octal, and hexadecimal is easier t Go through the binary representation, grouping in sets of 3 or 4.  E.g., 11011001 2 = 11 011 001 = 331 8 11011001 2 = 1101 1001 = D9 16  E.g., C3B 16 = ( ) 8

CSE36050 Information Representation 5 u What is special about binary? –The basic component of a computer system is a transistor (transfer resistor): a two state device which switches between logical “1” and “0” (actually represented as voltages on the range 5V to 0V). –Octal and hexadecimal are bases in powers of 2, and are used as a shorthand way of writing binary. A hexadecimal digit represents 4 bits, half of a byte. 1 byte = 8 bits. A bit is a binary digit. –Get comfortable converting among decimal, binary, octal, hexadecimal. Converting from decimal to hexadecimal (or binary) is easier going through octal.

CSE36051 Information Representation 6 BinaryHexDecimalBinaryHexDecimal 000000100088 000111100199 0010221010A10 0011331011B11 0100441100C12 0101551101D13 0110661110E14 0111771111F15

CSE36052 Information Representation 7 u Ranges of values –Q: Given k positions in base n, how many values can you represent? –A: n k values over the range (0…n k -1) 10 n=10, k=3: 10 3 =1000 range is (0…999) 10 n=2, k=8: 2 8 =256 range is (0…255) 10 n=16, k=4: 16 4 =65536 range is (0…65535) 10 –Q: How are negative numbers represented?

CSE36053 Information Representation 8 u Integer representation: –Value and representation are distinct. E.g., 12 may be represented as XII, C 16, 12 10, and 1100 2. Note: -12 may be represented as -C 16, -12 10, and -1100 2. –Simple and efficient use of hardware implies using a specific number of bits, e.g., a 32-bit string, in a binary encoding. Such an encoding is “fixed width.” –Four methods: (fixed-width) simple binary, signed magnitude, binary coded decimal, and 2’s complement. –Simple binary: as seen before, all numbers are assumed to be positive, e.g., 8-bit representation of 66 10 = 0100 0010 2 and 194 10 = 1100 0010 2

CSE36054 Information Representation 9 –Signed magnitude: simple binary with leading sign bit. 0 = positive, 1 = negative. E.g., 8-bit signed mag.: 66 10 = 0100 0010 2 -66 10 = 1100 0010 2 What ranges of numbers may be expressed in 8 bits? Largest: Smallest: Extend 1100 0010 to 12 bits:

CSE36055 Information Representation 10 Problems: (1) Compare the signed magnitude numbers 1000 0000 and 0000 0000. (2) Must have “subtraction” hardware in addition to “addition” hardware. –Binary Coded Decimal (BCD): use a 4 bit pattern to express each digit of a base 10 number 0000 = 0 0001 = 1 0010 = 2 0011 = 3 0100 = 4 0101 = 5 0110 = 6 0111 = 7 1000 = 8 1001 = 9 1010 = + 1011 = - E.g., 123 : 0000 0001 0010 0011 +123 : 1010 0001 0010 0011 -123 : 1011 0001 0010 0011

CSE36056 Information Representation 11 BCD Disadvantages: –Takes more memory. 32 bit simple binary can represent more than 4 billion discrete values. 32 bit BCD can hold a sign and 7 digits (or 8 digits for unsigned values) for a maximum of 110 million values, a 97% reduction. –More difficult to do arithmetic. Essentially, we must force the Base 2 computer to do Base 10 arithmetic. BCD Advantages: –Used in business machines and languages, i.e., in COBOL for precise decimal math. –Can have arrays of BCD numbers for essentially arbitrary precision arithmetic.

CSE36057 Information Representation 12 –Two’s Complement t Used by most machines and languages to represent integers. Fixes the -0 in the signed magnitude, and simplifies machine hardware arithmetic. t Divides bit patterns into a positive half and a negative half (with zero considered positive); n bits creates a range of [-2 n-1 … 2 n-1 -1]. CODE 0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111 Simple 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Signed +0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 -0 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 2’s comp 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2

CSE36058 Information Representation 13 –Representation in 2’s complement; i.e., represent i in n-bit 2’s complement, where -2 n-1  i  +2 n-1 -1 t Positive numbers: same as simple binary t Negative numbers: –Obtain the n-bit simple binary equivalent of | i | –Obtain its negation as follows: Invert the bits of that representation Add 1 to the result t Ex.: convert -320 10 to 16-bit 2’s complement t Ex.: extend the 12-bit 2’s complement number 1101 0111 1000 to 16 bits.

CSE36059 Information Representation 14 u Binary Arithmetic –Addition and subtraction only for now –Rules: similar to standard addition and subtraction, but only working with 0 and 1. t 0 + 0 = 00 - 0 = 0 t 1 + 0 = 11 - 0 = 1 t 0 + 1 = 11 - 1 = 0 t 1 + 1 = 1010 - 1 = 1 –Must be aware of possible overflow.  Ex.: 8-bit signed magnitude 0101 0110 + 0110 0011 =  Ex.: 8-bit signed magnitude 0101 0110 - 0110 0011 =

CSE36060 Information Representation 15 u 2’s Complement binary arithmetic –Addition and subtraction are the same operation –Still must be aware of overflow.  Ex.: 8 bit 2’s complement: 23 10 + 45 10 =  Ex.: 8 bit 2’s complement: 23 10 - 45 10 =  Ex.: 8 bit 2’s complement: 100 10 + 45 10 =

CSE36061 Information Representation 16 –2’s Complement overflow t Opposite signs on operands can’t overflow t If operand signs are same, but result’s sign is different, must have overflow

CSE36062 Information Representation 17 u Characters and Strings –EBCDIC, Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code t Used by IBM in mainframes (360 architecture and descendants). t Earliest system –ASCII, American Standard Code for Information Interchange. t Most common system –Unicode, http://www.unicode.org t New international standard t Variable length encoding scheme with either 8- or 16-bit minimum t “a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language.”

CSE36063 Information Representation 18 u ASCII –see table 1.7 on pg. 18. t In Unix, run “man ascii”. –7 bit code t Printable characters for human interactions t Control characters for non-human communication (computer- computer, computer-peripheral, etc.) –8-bit code: most significant bit may be set t Extended ASCII (IBM), includes graphical symbols and lines t ISO 8859, several international standards t Unicode’s UTF-8, variable length code with 8-bit minimum

CSE36064 ASCII u Easy to decode –But takes up a predictable amount of space u Upper and lower case characters are 0x20 (32 10 ) apart u ASCII representation of ‘3’ is not the same as the binary representation of 3. –To convert ASCII to binary (an integer), ‘3’-‘0’ = 3 u Line feed (LF) character –000 1010 2 = 0x0a = 10 10 –‘\n’ = 0xa

CSE36065 Information Representation 19 u Decode: 1000001, 1010011, 1000011, 1001001, 1001001, 0100000, 1101001, 1110011, 0100000, 1100101, 1100001, 1110011, 1111001, 0000000 –Or (in hex): 41 53 43 49 49 20 69 73 20 65 61 73 79 00 u How many bytes is this? u What’s the use of the ’00’? u String definition is programming language dependent. u C, C++: strings are arrays of characters terminated by a null byte.

CSE36066 Information Representation 20 u Simple data compression –ASCII codes are fixed length. –Huffman codes are variable length and based on statistics of the data to be transmitted. t Assign the shortest encoding to the most common character. –In English, the letter ‘e’ is the most common. –Either establish a Huffman code for an entire class of messages, –Or create a new Huffman code for each message, sending/storing both the coding scheme and the message. t “a widely used and very effective technique for compressing data; savings of 20% to 90% are typical, depending on the characteristics of the file being compressed.” (Cormen, p. 337)

CSE36070 Information Representation 23 u Comparison of Huffman and 3-bit code example –3-bit: 000 011000100 000 101010000100 000 001000100000010 101000100000011000 = 63 bits –Huffman: 1 0001101 1 00000010101 1 001110110010 0000101100011 = 46 bits –Savings of 17 bits, or 27% of original message

CSE36074 Parity: Simple error detection u Data transmission, aging media, static interference, dust on media, etc. demand the ability to detect errors. –Ex.: send ASCII ‘S’ : send 1010011, but receive 1010010(‘R’) ? u Single bit errors detected by using parity checking. u Parity, here, is the “the state of being odd or even.”

CSE36075 Information Representation 24 u How to detect a 1-bit error: –Add a 1-bit parity to make an odd or even number of bits per byte. –Parity bit is stripped by hardware after checking. Sender/receiver both agree to odd or even parity. –2 flipped bits in the same encoding are not detected. What if parity bit is flipped?

CSE36076 Information Representation 25 u Two meanings for Hamming distance. 1.Specific. A count of the number of bits different in two encodings. E.g.,dist(1100, 1001) = dist(0101, 1101) = 2.General. The minimum over all distinct pairs in an entire code. t The ASCII encoding scheme has a Hamming distance of 1. t A simple parity encoding scheme has a Hamming distance of 2. u Hamming distance serves as a measure of the robustness of error checking (as a measure of the redundancy of the encoding).

CSE36077 Basic Components 1 u Terminology from Ch. 2: –Flip flop: basic storage device that holds 1 bit –D flip flop: special flip flop that outputs the last value that was input to it (a data signal). –Clock: two different meanings: (1) a control signal that oscillates (low to high voltage) every x nanoseconds; (2) the “write select” line for a flip flop.

CSE36078 Basic Components 2 –Register: collection of flip flops with parallel load. Clock (or “write select”) signal controlled. Stores instructions, addresses, operands, etc. –Bus: Collection of related data lines (wires).

CSE36079 Basic Components 3 –Combinational circuits: implement Boolean functions. No feedback in the circuit, output is strictly a function of input. t Gates: and, or, not, xor E.g., xy +  z

CSE36080 Basic Components 4 –Gates can be used in combination to implement a simple (half) adder. t Addition creates a value, plus a carry-out. Z = X  Y CO = X  Y X Y Z CO

CSE36081 Basic Components 5 –Sequential Circuits: introduce feedback into the circuit. Outputs are functions of input and current state. –Multiplexers: combinational circuits that use n bits to select an output from 2 n input lines. D C Q

CSE36082 Basic Components 6 u Von Neumann Architecture –Can access either instructions or data from memory in each cycle. –One path to memory (von Neumann bottleneck) –Stored program system. No distinction between programs and data

CSE36084 Memory Subsystem – the busses Address Bus Data Bus 000 001 010 011 100 101 n-bit Addressible n k The number of elements depend on the size of the address bus. If k=3, how many addresses? If k=4, how many addresses? # Addresses = 2 k

CSE36085 Memory Subsystem – the busses Address Bus Data Bus 000 001 010 011 100 101 n-bit Addressible n k Capacity depends on how many bits in each element, or the size of the data bus. If n=1 and k=3, how many bits? If n=2? If n=8 and k=3, how many Bytes? Bit capacity = 2 k * n

CSE36086 Memory Element & Address Sizes If a machine’s memory is 5-bit addressable, then, at each distinct address, 5 bits are stored. The contents at each address are represented by 5 bits. If 3 bits are used to represent memory addresses, then the memory can have at most 2 3 = 8 distinct addresses. Such a memory can store at most 8  5 = 40 bits of data. If the data bus is 10 bits wide, then up to 10 bits at a time can be transferred between memory and processor; this is a 10-bit word. Address Contents DecimalBinary 000000011 100101111 201001110 301110100 410000101 510101110 611010100 711110011

CSE36087 Memory Subsystem - Addressibility u Addressibility is the size of the memory element u The size of the element may be smaller than the size of the data bus. –If n=8, only 1 Byte Addressible –If n=16, 1 or 2 Byte Addressible Address Bus Data Bus 000 001 010 011 100 101 n-bit Addressible n k How does Addressibility affect capacity?

CSE36088 Memory Subsystem - Addressing u Memory may be organized into banks, with bit labels u The GLOBAL address of each addressible element would be: [relative address] & [bank address] Address Bus Data Bus 000 001 010 011 100 101 Bank 0 Bank 1 000 0 001 0 010 0 011 0 100 0 101 0 000 1 001 1 010 1 011 1 100 1 101 1 See the pattern that forms?

CSE36089 Memory Subsystem - Alignment Data bus is 4x the size of addressible element. So, you may read (or write) one or more Bytes at a time… But only from/to the same row of memory! Address Bus Data Bus 000 001 010 011 100 101 32 Okay to read/write 2 Bytes from 10010? 2B from 01011? 4B from 01100? 4B from 00101?

CSE36091 Contrast with bit ordering Basic Components 11 u Byte ordering: how numeric data is stored in memory –Ex.: 247896511 10 = 0EC699BF 16 –Stored at address 0 0OE 1C6 299 3BF 0 199 2C6 30E Big Endian High order (big end) is at byte 0 76543210 10111111 Little Endian Low order (little end) is at byte 0

CSE36092 Basic Components 12 u Read/Write operations: must know the address to read or write.

CSE36093 Basic Components 13 u Types of memory: –ROM: Read Only Memory: non-volatile (doesn’t get erased when powered down; it’s a combinational circuit!) –PROM: Programmable ROM: use a ROM burner to write data to it initially. Can’t be re-written. –EPROM: Erasable PROM. Uses UV light to erase. –EEPROM: Electrically Erasable PROM. –RAM: Random access memory. Can efficiently read/write any location (unlike sequential access memory). Used for main memory. t Many variations (types) of RAM, all volatile –SDRAM, DDR SDRAM –RDRAM –www.tomshardware.com

CSE36094 Instructional Sparc Emulator - ISEM u Editing, Assembling, Linking, and Loading –There are three components to the Instructional SPARC Emulator (ISEM) package that we use for this class: t the assembler, t the linker, and t the emulator/debugger.

CSE36095 Instructional Sparc Emulator - ISEM – u Editing –There are a number of programs that you can use to create your source files. t Emacs is probably the most popular; t vi is also available, but its command syntax is difficult to learn and use; t using pine program, you can use the pico editor, which combines many features of Emacs into a simple menu-driven facility. –Start Emacs by “xemacs sourcefile.s &”, which creates the file called sourcefile.s. –Use the tutorial, accessed by typing "Ctrl-H Ctrl-H t". –For other editors, you are on your own.

CSE36096 Example Sparc Assembly Language Instructions % type xmp0.s.data ! Assembler directive: data starts here. A_m, B_m, and A_m:.word ’?’ ! C_m are symbolic constants. Furthermore, each B_m :.word 0x30 ! is an address of a certain-sized chunk of memory. Here, C_m :.word 0 ! each chunk is four bytes (one word) long. When the ! program gets loaded, each of these chunks stores a ! number in 2’s complement encoding, as follows: At ! address C_m, zero; at B_m, 48; at A_m, 0x3F = 077 = 63..text! Assembler directive, instructions start here start:! Label (symbolic constant) for this address set A_m, %r2! Put address A_m into register 2 ld [%r2], %r2! Use r2 as an indirect address for a load (read) set B_m, %r3! Put address B_m into register 3 ld [%r3], %r3! Read from B_m and replace r3 w/ value at addr B_m sub %r2, %r3, %r2! Subtract r3 from r2, save in r2 set C_m, %r4! Put address C_m into register 4 st %r2, [%r4]! Store (write) r2 to memory at address C_m terminate:! Label for address where ’ta 0’ instruction stored ta 0! Stop the program beyond_end:! Label for address beyond the end of this program

CSE36097 Instructional Sparc Emulator - ISEM u Assembling –The assembler is called "isem-as", and is the GNU Assembler (GAS), configured to cross-assemble to a SPARC object format. –It is used to take your source code, and produce object code that may be linked and run on the ISEM emulator. –The syntax for invoking the assembler is: isem-as [-a[ls]] sourcefile.s -o objectfile.o –The input is read from sourcefile.s, and the output is written to objectfile.o. –The option "-a" tells the assembler to produce a listing file. The sub-options "l" and "s" tell the assembler to include the assembly source in the listing file and produce a symbol table, respectively.

CSE36098 Instructional Sparc Emulator - ISEM u The listing file –Will identify all the syntactic errors in your program, and it will warn you if it identifies "suspicious" behavior in your source file. –Column 1 identifies a line number in your source file. –Column 2 is an offset for where this instruction or data resides in memory. –Column 3 is the image of what is put in memory, either the machine instructions or the representation of the data. –The final column is the source code that produced the line. –At the bottom of the file you will find the symbol table. –Again, the symbols are represented as offsets that are relocated when the program is loaded into memory.

CSE360100 Instructional Sparc Emulator - ISEM u Linking –Linking turns a set of raw object file(s) into an executable program. –From the manual page, "ld combines a number of object and archive files, relocates their data and ties up symbol references. Often the last step in building a new compiled program to run is a call to ld." –Several object files are combined into one executable using ld; the separate files could reference symbols from one another. –The output of the linker is an executable program. –The syntax for the linker is as follows: isem-ld objectfile.o [-o execfile] Examples % isem-ld foo.o -o foo Links foo.o into the executable foo. % isem-ld foo.o Links foo.o into the executable a.out.

CSE360101 Instructional Sparc Emulator - ISEM u Loading/Running –Execute the program and test it in the emulation environment. –The program "isem" is used to do this, and the majority of its features are covered in your lab manual. –Invoke isem as follows isem [execfile] Examples % isem foo Invokes the emulator, loads the program foo % isem Invokes the emulator, no program is loaded –Once you are in the emulator, you can run your program by typing "run" at the prompt.

CSE360104 ISEM Debugging Tools u break [addr] –Set breakpoints in execution –Once execution is stopped, you can look at the contents of registers and memory. u trace –Causes one (or more) instruction(s) to be executed –Registers are displayed –Handy for sneaking up on an error when you’re not sure where it is.

CSE360105 ISEM Debugging Tools u For the all-time “most wanted” list of errors (and their fixes)

CSE360106 ISEM Debugging u If you still need help –Print a fresh copy of your source –Make good notes describing the error –Visit your lecturer or grader –Post a question to the discussion board

CSE360107 Basic Components 14 u CPU: executes instructions -- primitive operations that the computer can perform. –E.g.,arithmeticA+B data movementA := B controlif expr goto label logicalAND, OR, XOR… t Instructions specify both the operation and the operands. An encoded operand is often a location in memory where the value of interest may be found (address of value of interest).

CSE360108 Basic Components 15 –Instruction set: all instructions for a machine. Instruction format specifies number and type of operands. t Ex.: Could have an instruction like ADD A, B, R Where A, B, and R are the addresses of operands in memory. The result is R := A+B.

CSE360109 Basic Components 16 –Actually, the “instruction” might be represented in a source file as: 0x41444420412C20422C20520A. … A D D A, B, R As such, it is an assembly language instruction. –An assembler might translate it to, say, 0x504C, the machine’s representation of the instruction. As such, it is a machine language instruction.

CSE360110 A Simple Instruction Set 1 u Simple instruction set: the Accumulator machine. –Simplify instruction set by only allowing one operand. Accumulator implied to be the second operand. –Accumulator is a special register. Similar to a simple calculator.  ADD addrACC  ACC + M[addr]  SUB addrACC  ACC - M[addr]  MPY addrACC  ACC * M[addr]  DIV addrACC  ACC / M[addr]  LOAD addrACC  M[addr]  STORE addrM[addr]  ACC

CSE360112 An Instruction (Encoding) Format u Machine language: Converting from assembly language to machine language is called assembling. u Assume 8-bit architecture. Each instruction may be 8 bits. 3 bits hold the op-code and 5 bits hold the operand. u How much memory can we address? u How many op-codes can we have?

CSE360113 A Simple Instruction Set 4 u Convert the mnemonic op-codes into binary codes. u Hand assemble our program: u Instructions are stored in consecutive memory:

CSE360114 Simple Accumulator Machine

Simple Accumulator Machine (SAM) CSE360115 u REGISTERS –ACC – Accumulator, stores program values –IR - Instruction Register, holds the instruction during interpretation –MAR - Memory Address Register, stores address to read/write to/from –MDR - Memory Data Register, stores data from memory, either written/read –PC - Program Counter, stores the address of the next instruction

Simple Accumulator Machine (SAM) CSE360116 u Combinational Circuits –ALU - Arithmetic and logic unit, implements the operations (eg, +,-,*,/) –Decode - Instruction decoder, splits off the opcode and operands –INC - Incrementer, increments the PC –MUX - Multiplexer, controls inputs to PC and ACC

Simple Accumulator Machine (SAM) CSE360117 u Sequential Circuit –Timing and control - asserts control signals, clock u Combination of flip-flops, circuits and capacitors –Memory – stores instructions and data

CSE360118 A Simple Instruction Set 6 –Control signals: control functional units to determine order of operations, access to bus, loading of registers, etc.

CSE360119 A Simple Instruction Set 7 0 1 2 3 State Y N 4 5 Y N 7 8 6

CSE360120 State 0: Control Signals 2, 5, 9, 3 Put the address of the next instruction in the Addr Register and Inc. PC.

CSE360121 State 1: Control Signals 13, 14 Fetch the word of memory at Address, and load into Data Register.

CSE360122 State 2: Control Signals 6, 4 Send the word from the Data Register to the Instruction Register.

CSE360123 State 3: Control Signals 12, 5 Put the address from the instruction in the Address Register.

CSE360124 After State 3, what values are now stored in each register? u PC u MAR u MDR u IR u ACC

CSE360125 State 4: Control Signals 0, 7 Take the value from the ACCumulator and store it in the Data Register.

CSE360126 State 5: Control Signal 13 Write the data from the Data Register to the address stored in the MAR.

CSE360127 State 6: Control Signals 13, 14 Load the word at the Address from the Addr Reg into the Data Register.

CSE360128 After State 6, what values are now stored in each register? u PC u MAR u MDR u IR u ACC

CSE360129 State 7: Control Signals 6, 1 Load the word from Data Register into the ACCumulator.

CSE360130 State 8: Control Signals 6, 8, 10/11, 1 Use word from the Data Register for Arith Op and put result in ACC.

CSE360131 New Instruction What is necessary to implement a new instruction? New states? New control signals? New fetch/execute cycle? An Example: SWAP Exchange value in Accumulator with value at Address SWAP addr ! Acc <- #M[addr], M[addr] <- #Acc

CSE360132 New Instruction u What changes to fetch/execute cycle? –The fetch part of the cycle usually remains the same. –Recall the values stored in registers after each state t E.g., After State 6, t what values are in each register? –PC –MAR –MDR –IR –ACC t Handy to have #M[addr] in MDR –Start after state 6 then….

CSE360133 New State 9: Control Signals 6, 4 Save the Data value from the MDR in the Address Register. MDR -> bus Load IR

CSE360134 New State 10: Control Signals 0, 7 Send the ACCumulator value to the Data Register. ACC -> bus load MDR

CSE360135 New State 11: Control Signals 15?, 1 Put the saved value from the IR into the ACCumulator. IR ->bus load ACC Note: there is no control signal in the current architecture opposite of 4 (Load IR), so we would have to create a new control signal (MAR to bus) in addition to creating these new states.

CSE360136 New State 12 (Old 5): Control Signals 13 Write the data from the Data Register to the address stored in the MAR. CS

CSE360137 New Instruction Solution u Changes to States, added 9 thru 12 u Changes to Signals, added 15: IR-> bus u Changes to Fetch/Execute, new register transfer language (RTL) PC -> bus, load MAR, INC -> PC, Load PC CS, R/w MDR -> bus, load IR Addr -> bus, load MAR CS, R/w MDR -> bus, load IR ACC -> bus, load MDR IR-> bus, load ACC CS MAR->bus IR->bus What if we had added MAR->bus instead of IR->bus?

CSE360138 Instruction Set Architectures 1 u RISC vs. CISC –Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC): t Many, powerful instructions. t High code density to address the Von Neumann Bottleneck. t Instructions have varying lengths, number of operands, formats, and clock cycles in execution. –Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC): t Fewer, less powerful, optimized instructions. t Requires simpler, faster hardware. t Instructions have fixed length, number of operands, formats, and similar number of clock cycles in execution.

CSE360139 Instruction Set Architectures 2 u Motivation: memory is comparatively slow. –10x to 20x slower than processor. –Need to minimize number of trips to memory. t Provide faster storage in the processor -- registers. t Registers (16, 32, 64 bits wide) are used for intermediate storage for calculations, or repeated operands. t Accumulator machine –One data register -- ACC. –2 memory accesses per instruction -- one for the instruction and one for the operand. t Add more registers (R0, R1, R2, …, Rn)

CSE360140 Instruction Set Architectures 3 u How many addresses to specify? –With binary operations, need to know two source operands, a destination, and the operation.  E.g., op (dest_operand) (src_op1) (src_op2) –Based on number of operands, could have: t 3 addr. machine: both sources and dest are named. t 2 addr. machine: both sources named, dest is a source. t 1 addr. machine: one source named, other source and dest. is the accumulator. t 0 addr. machine: all operands implicit and available on the stack.

CSE360141 Instruction Set Architectures 4  1-address architecture: a:=a  b+c  d  e –Memory onlyUsing registers t 1½-address architecture: at least one operand must always be a register. (½ address is register, 1 address is the memory operand: LOAD 100, R1). –Like an accumulator machine, but with many accumulators.

CSE360142 Instruction Set Architectures 5  3-address architecture: a:=a  b+c  d  e –Using memory only: –Using registers: What about instruction size?

Instruction Set Architecture u How does instruction size affect addressing? –16-bit instruction, 3 address, 6 instructions –How many addresses will be supported? –What if the instruction were 32 bit? CSE360143 Opcode = 3 bits (2 3 =8) Operand = (size -opcode) / #addr =4 bits Operand = (size -opcode) / #addr =4 bits Operand = (16-3) / 3 =4 bits Operand = (16-3) / 3 =4 bits Operand = 13 / 3 =4 bits Operand = 13 / 3 =4 bits

CSE360144 Instruction Set Architectures 6  2-address architecture: a:=a  b+c  d  e –Using memory only: –Using registers: Most CISC arch. this way, making 1 operand implicit

CSE360145 Instruction Set Architectures 7  0-address architecture: a:=a  b+c  d  e –Stack machine: All operands are implicit. Only push and pop touch memory. All other operands are pulled from the top of stack, and result is pushed on top. E.g., HP calculators. Stack A B A*B C D E D*E C*D*E A*B + C*D*E

CSE360146 Instruction Set Architectures 8 Load/Store Architectures -- RISC Use of registers is simple and efficient. Therefore, the only instructions that can access memory are load and store. All others reference registers. RISC Load/ Store

CSE360147 Instruction Set Architectures 9 u Why load/store architectures? –Number of instructions (hence, memory references to fetch them) is high, but can work without waiting on memory. t CISC machines tend to need to have their more complex instructions interpreted in micro code –More room in CPU for registers and memory cache. –Easier to overlap instruction execution through pipelining. Fetch …. Execute

CSE360148 Instruction Set Architectures 9 u Side effects –Register interlock: delaying execution until memory read completes. t Machine waits when necessary, to avoid erroneous results. ld [%r1], %r2 add %r2, 100, %r3 –Branch delays: instruction after branch is always executed. u Instruction scheduling –Rearranging instructions to maximize efficiency of pipelining t To prevent register interlock (loads on SPARC) t To use branch delay slots (branches on SPARC).

CSE360149 SPARC Assembly Language 1 u SPARC (Scalable Processor ARChitecture) –Used in Sun workstations, descended from RISC-II developed at UC Berkeley –General Characteristics: t 32-bit word size (integer, address, register size, etc.) t Byte-addressable memory t RISC load/store architecture, 32-bit instruction, few addressing modes t Many registers (32 general purpose, 32 floating point, various special purpose registers) –ISEM: Instructional SPARC Emulator - nicer than a real machine for learning to write assembly language programs.

CSE360150 SPARC Assembly Language 2 u Structure –Line oriented: 4 types of lines t Blank - Ignored t Labeled - –Any line may be labeled. Creates a symbol in listing. Labels must begin with a letter (other than ‘L’), then any alphanumeric characters. Label must end with a colon “ : ”. Label just assigns a name to an address.  Assembler Directives - E.g.,.data.word.text, etc. t Instructions –Comments start after “ ! ” character and go to the end of the line..data x_m:.word 0x42 y_m:.word 0x20 z_m:.word 0.text start: set x_m, %r2 ld [%r2], %r2 set y_m, %r3 ld [%r3], %r3 !

CSE360151 SPARC Assembly Language 3 u Directives: Instructions to the assembler –Not executed by the machine .data -- following section contains declarations –Each declaration reserves and initializes a certain number of bits of storage for each of zero or more operands in the declaration..word -- 32 bits.half -- 16 bits.byte -- 8 bits E.g.,.data w:.half 27000 x:.byte 8 y:.byte ’m’, 0x6e, 0x0, 0, 0 z:.word 0x3C5F .text -- following section contains executable instructions

CSE360152 SPARC Assembly Language 11 –More assembler directives (.asciz and.ascii): t Each of the following two directives is equivalent: –msg01:.asciz "a phrase" –msg01:.byte 'a', ' ', 'p', 'h', 'r'.byte 'a', 's', 'e', 0 t Note that.asciz generates one byte for each character between the quote (") marks in the operand, plus a null byte at the end. t The.ascii directive does not generate that extra byte. Each of the following three directives is equivalent: –digits:.ascii "0123456789" –digits:.byte '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5'.byte '6', '7', '8', '9' –digits:.byte 0x30, 0x31, 0x32, 0x33, 0x34.byte 0x35, 0x36, 0x37, 0x38, 0x39

CSE360153 SPARC Assembly Language  Memory alignment:.align 4 –Used when mixing allocations of bytes, words, halfwords, etc. and need word boundary alignment  Reserve bytes of space:.skip 20 –Useful for allocating large amounts of space (e.g., arrays)  Create a symbolic constant:.set mask, 0x0f –Can now use the word “mask” anywhere we could use the constant 0x0f previously

CSE360154 SPARC Assembly Language 4 u Registers -- 32 bits wide –32 general purpose integer registers, known by several names to the assembler  %r0-%r7 also known as %g0-%g7 global registers -- Note, %r0 always contains value 0.  %r8-%r15 also known as %o0-%o7 output registers  %r16-%r23 also known as %l0-%l7 local registers  %r24-%r31 also known as %i0-%i7 input registers t Use the %r0-%r31 names for now. Other names are used in procedure calls. –32 floating point registers %f0-%f31. Each reg. is single precision. Double prec. uses reg. pairs.

CSE360155 SPARC Assembly Language 5 u Assembly language –3-address operations - format different from book op src1, src2, dest !opposite of text E.g., add %r1, %r2, %r3 !%r3  %r1 + %r2 or %r2, 0x0004, %r2 !%r2  %r2 b-w-or 0x0004 –Contrast SPARC with MiPs (used in the book) t indirect address notation: @addr vs [addr] t operand order, especially the destination register t register notation: R2 vs. %r2 t branches

CSE360156 SPARC Assembly Language 6 –2-address operations: load and store ld [addr], %r2 ! %r2  M[addr] st %r2, [addr] ! M[addr]  %r2 –Use set to put an address (a label, a symbolic constant) into a register, followed by ld to load the data itself. set x_m, %r1 !put addr x_m into %r1 ld [%r1],%r2 !use addr in %r1 to load %r2

CSE360157 SPARC Assembly Language 7 u Immediate values: operand is not an address, but a value E.g., add %rs, siconst 13, %rd !%rd  %rs+const -4096 to 4095 t Immediate value coded as 13 bit 2’s complement. Range is, then, -2 12 …2 12 -1 or -4096 to 4095.  Immediate values can be specified in decimal, hexadecimal, octal, or binary. E.g., add %r2, 0x1A, %r2 t Constant is coded into instruction itself, therefore available after fetching the instruction (no extra trip to memory for an operand). t On SPARC, no special notation for differentiating constants from addresses because no ambiguity in a load/store architecture.

CSE360158 SPARC Assembly Language 8 u Synthetic Instructions: assembler translates one “instruction” into one or more machine instructions. –set : used to load a 32-bit signed integer constant into a register. Has 2 operands - 32 bit value and register number. How does that fit into a 32 bit instruction? E.g., set iconst 32, %rd set -10, %r3 set x_m, %r4 set ’=’, %r8 –clr %rd : used to set all bits in a register to 0. How? –mov %rs, %rd : copies a register. –neg %rs, %rd : copies the negation of a register.

CSE360159 SPARC Assembly Language 9 –Operand sizes t double word = 8 bytes, word = 4 bytes, half word = 2 bytes, byte = 8 bits. Recall memory alignment issues. set x_m, %r2 !Put addr x_m in %r2 ld [%r2], %r1 !load word ldsb [%r2], %r1 !load byte, sign extended ldub [%r2], %r1 !load byte, extend with 0’s st %r1, [%r2] !store word, addr is mult of 4 stb %r1, [%r2] !store byte, any address sth %r1, [%r2] !store half word, address is even – Characters use 8 bits t ldub to load a character t stb to store a character

CSE360160 SPARC Assembly Language 10 –Traps : provides initial help with I/O, also used in operating systems programming.  ta 0 : terminate program  ta 1 : output ASCII character from %r8  ta 2 input ASCII character into %r8  ta 4 : output integer from %r8 in unsigned hexadecimal  ta 5 : input integer into %r8, can be decimal, octal, or hex E.g., set ’=’, %r8 !put ’=’ in %r8 ta 1 !output the ’=’ ta 5 !read in value into %r8 mov %r8, %r1 !copy %r8 into %r1 set 0x0a, %r8 !load a newline into %r8 ta 1 !output the newline

CSE360161 SPARC Assembly Language 12 –Quick review of instructions so far:  ld [addr], %rd! %rd  M[addr]  st %rd, [addr]!

CSE360163 Flow of Control 1 u In addition to sequential execution, need ability to repeatedly and conditionally execute program fragments. –High level language has: while, for, do, repeat, case, if-then-else, etc. –Assembler has if, goto. –Compare: high level vs. pseudo-assembler, implementation of f=n! f = 1 i = 2 loop: if (i > n) goto done f = f * i i = i + 1 goto loop done:... f = 1; i = 2; while (i <= n) { f = f * i; i = i + 1; }

CSE360164 Flow of Control 2 –Branch -- put a new address in the program counter. Next instruction comes from the new address, effectively, a “goto”. –Unconditional branch  (book) BRANCH addr ! PC  addr  (SPARC) ba addr ! PC  addr –Conditional branch  (book) BRcc R1, R2, target “if R1 cc R2 then PC  target” and cc is comparison operation (e.g., LT is , GE is , etc.)

CSE360165 Flow of Control 4 t Other conditions (from text, very similar to MIPS) t Can implement high level control structures now. –Factorial example, using the book’s assembly language: LOADR1,#1; R1 = f = 1 LOADR2,#2; R2 = i = 2 LOADR3, n; R3 = n loop:BRGTR2,R3,done; branch if i > n MPYR1,R1,R2; f = f * i ADDR2,R2,#1; i = i + 1 BRANCHloop; goto loop done:STOREf,R1; f = n!

CSE360166 Flow of Control 3 u Evaluating conditional branches –Evaluate condition –If condition is true, then PC  target, else PC  PC+1 Consider changes to the fetch-execute cycle given earlier for accumulator machine. Do data paths need to change? New control paths? New opcodes? New instruction formats? Consider changes to the fetch-execute cycle given earlier for accumulator machine. Do data paths need to change? New control paths? New opcodes? New instruction formats?

CSE360167 Flow of Control 5 u Condition Codes –Book’s assembly language has 3-address branches. SPARC uses 1-address branches. Must use condition codes. –Non-MIPS machines use condition codes to evaluate branches. Condition Code Register (CCR) holds these bits. SPARC has 4-bit CCR. –N: Negative, Z: Zero, V: Overflow, C: Carry. All are shown in a trace, or in the reg command under ISEM. –Condition codes are not changed by normal ALU instructions. Must use special instructions ending with cc, e.g., addcc.

CSE360186 Understanding SET Synthetic Usually used to put the value of an address in memory into a register. For example, set 0x4004, %r3 Can do neither ‘add %r0, 0x4004, %r3’ nor ‘or %r0, 0x4004, %r3’. Why not? SET is a synthetic instruction which may be implemented in two steps. #2 #1 Machine language encoding for 'set 0x4004, %r3'

CSE360192 Bitwise Operations 3  For what kinds of things are these bit level operations used? Recall the synthetic operation clr, and mov. clr %r2  or %r0, %r0, %r2 mov %r2, %r3  or %r0, %r2, %r3 t Masking operations: Want to select a bit or group of bits from a set of 32. E.g., convert lower (or upper) to upper case: ‘ a ’ in binary is 01100001 ‘ A ’ in binary is 01000001 All we need to do is “turn off” the bit in position 5. and %r1, 0b11011111, %r1 will turn off that bit! t What if we subtract 32 (0b100000) from %r1? t What about converting upper to lower case?

CSE360193 Bitwise Operations 4 –Bitwise shifting operations  Shift logical left: sll %rs1, %rs2, %rd %rs1 : data to be shifted %rs2 : shift count %rd : destination register E.g., set 0xABCD1234, %r2 sll %r2, 3, %r3 %r2: 1010 1011 1100 1101 0001 0010 0011 0100 %r3: 0101 1110 0110 1000 1001 0001 1010 0000 t sll is equivalent to multiplying by a power of 2 (barring overflow). (In the decimal system, what’s a shortcut for multiplying by a power of ten?)

CSE360194 Bitwise Operations 5  Shift Logical Right: srl %rs1, %rs2, %rd –Shifts right instead of left, inserting zeros.  Arithmetic shifts: propagate the sign bit when shifting right, e.g., sra. (Left shift doesn't change.) –Almost equivalent to dividing by a power of 2. t Rotating shifts: Bits that would have gone into the bit bucket are shifted in instead. (E.g., rr, rl) –Rotate not implemented in SPARC

CSE360195 Addressing Modes 1 u Addressing Modes –How do we specify operand values? t In a register, location is encoded in the instruction. t As a constant, immediate value is in the instruction. t In memory, operand is somewhere in memory, location may only be known at runtime. –Memory operands: t Effective address: actual location of operand in memory. This may be calculated implicitly (e.g., by a displacement in the instruction) or may be calculated by the programmer in code.

CSE360196 Addressing Modes 2 –Summary of addressing modes:

CSE360197 Addressing Modes 3 –Memory Direct addressing t Entire address is in the instruction (not in SPARC). E.g., accumulator machine: each instruction had an opcode and a hard address in memory. –Can’t be done on SPARC because an address is 32 bits, which is the length of an instruction. No room for opcodes, etc. Can be done in CISC because multi-word instructions are permitted. –Memory Indirect addressing t Pointer to operand is in memory. Instruction specifies location of pointer. Requires three memory fetches (one each for instruction, pointer, and data). Not in RISC machines because instruction is too slow; such an instruction would cause its own register interlock!

CSE360198 Addressing Modes 4 u Register Indirect addressing –Register has address of operand (a pointer). Instruction specifies register number, effective address is contents of register..data n_m:.word 5 ; initialize n to 5.text set n_m, %r1 ; %r1 has n_m, pointer to n ld [%r1], %r3 ; fetch n into %r3 –Simulating Register Indirect addressing on SPARC t SPARC doesn't truly have register indirect addressing. t Assembler converts ‘st %r2, [%r1]’ into ‘st %r2, [%r1+%r0]’

CSE360199 Addressing Modes 5 t Ex.: sum up array of integers:.data n_m:.word 5! Size of array a_m:.word 4,2,5,8,3! 5 word array sum_m:.word 0! Sum of elements b_m:.skip 5*4! another 5 word array.text clr %r2! r2 will hold sum set n_m, %r3! r3 points to n ld [%r3], %r3! r3 gets array size set a_m, %r4! r4 points to array a loop:ld [%r4], %r5!

CSE360201 Addressing Modes 7 –Register Indexed addressing t Suitable for accessing successive elements of the same type in a data structure.  Ex.: Swap elements A[i] and A[k] in array t Effective address calculations! A A+4 A+8 A+12 0010010 A 1001000 r2 r3 r4 r7 r8 after sll <-

CSE360202 Addressing Modes 8 u Array mapping functions: used by compilers to determine addresses of array elements. –Must know upper bound, lower bound, and size of elements of array. t Total storage = (upper - lower + 1)*element_size t Address offset for element at index k = (k - lower)*element_size Address (byte) offset for A[3] = (3-0)*4 = 12 This is for 1 dimensional arrays only!

CSE360203 Addressing Modes 9 u 1D array mapping functions: Want an array of n elements, each element is 4 bytes in size, array starts at address arr. –Total storage is 4n bytes –First element is at arr+0 –Last element is at arr+4(n-1) –k th (k can range from 0…n-1) element is at arr+4k. Array uses zero-based indexing.

CSE360204 Addressing Modes 10 u 2D array mapping functions: must linearize the 2D concept; e.g., map the 2D structure into 1D memory. –Convert into 1D array in memory

CSE360205 Addressing Modes 11 u 2 ways to convert to 1D –Row major order (Pascal, C, Modula-2) stores first by rows, then by columns. E.g., –Column major order (FORTRAN) stores first by columns then by rows. E.g.,

Addressing Modes u Row major 2D array mapping function: u Given an array starting at address arr, that is x rows by y columns, each element is m bytes in size, and indices start at zero, then element (i, j) may be found at location: CSE360206 Offset to A (0,2) = (5 * 0 + 2) * element size Offset to A (0,2) = (5 * 0 + 2) * element size arr + (y  i + j)  m

CSE360207 Addressing Modes 12 –3D array mapping function: natural extension of 2D function. Store by row, then column, then depth. –Array starting at arr with x rows, y columns, depth z, m element size. Element (i, j, k) is found at location: arr + (z  y  i + j) + k)  m +0 +1 +2+4+6+8 +3+5+7+9 +10+12+14+16+18 1,0,0

CSE360208 Addressing Modes 15 –Displacement Addressing t Suitable for accessing the individual fields of record data structures. Each field can be of a different type.  Use.set directive to establish offsets to fields within records. Then use displacement addressing to access those fields.

CSE360209 Addressing Modes 16 t Ex.: Add 1 to the age field in a person record t Problem: alignment in memory. May have to waste some space in the person record in order to have the integer fields align on a word boundary.

CSE360210 Addressing Modes 17 –Auto-increment and Auto-decrement addressing t SPARC does not support these modes. They may be simulated using register indirect addressing followed by an add or subtract of the size of the element on that register. t Useful for traversing arrays forward (auto-increment) and backward (auto-decrement). Also useful for stacks and queues of data elements.

CSE360211 Subroutines 1 u Subroutine (also function, method, procedure, or subprogram) –a portion of code within a larger program, which performs a specific task and can be relatively independent of the remaining code. u Advantages of subroutines –reducing the duplication of code in a program –enabling reuse of code across multiple programs –decomposing complex problems into simpler pieces –improving readability of a program –hiding or regulating part of the program Requires little hardware support, mostly protocols and conventions to handle parameters.

CSE360212 Subroutines 2 u Terminology –Caller: the code (which could be a subroutine itself) which invokes the subroutine of interest –Callee: the subroutine being invoked by the caller –Function: subroutine that returns one or more values back to the caller and exactly one of these values is distinguished as the return value –Return value: the distinguished value returned by a function

CSE360213 Subroutines 3 u Terminology (continued) –Procedure: a subroutine that may return values to the caller (through the subroutine’s parameter(s)), but none of these values is distinguished as the return value –Return address: address of the subroutine call instruction –Parameters: information passed to/from a subroutine (a.k.a. arguments) –Subroutine linkage: a protocol for passing parameters between the caller and the callee

CSE360214 Subroutines 4 u Calling a subroutine –Assembly language syntax for calling a subroutine call label nop –Must change the program counter (as in a branch instruction) however, we must also keep track of where to resume execution after the subroutine finishes. Call instruction handles this atomically (i.e., without interruption) by: %r15  #PC (PC  #nPC) nPC  label

CSE360215 Subroutines 4 u Returning from a subroutine –Assembly language syntax for returning from a subroutine retl nop u Again, must change the program counter to return to an instruction after the one that called the subroutine. The address of the instruction that called it was saved in %r15, and we must skip over the branch delay slot as well. So, this is accomplished by: nPC  %r15+8

CSE360216 Subroutines 5 u Parameter passing: 2 approaches –Register based linkage: pass parameters solely through registers. Has the advantage of speed, but can only pass a few parameters, and it won’t support nested subroutine calls. Such a subroutine is called a leaf subroutine. –Stack based linkage: pass parameters through the run-time stack. Not as fast, but can pass more parameters and have nested subroutine calls (including recursion).

CSE360217 Register-based Linkage 1 –Subroutine linkage : t Startup Sequence: load parameters and return address into registers, branch to subroutine. t Prologue: if non-leaf procedure then save return address to memory, save registers used by callee. t Epilogue: place return parameters into registers, restore registers saved in prologue, restore saved return address, return. t Cleanup Sequence: work with returned values

CSE360218 Register-based Linkage 2 –Example: Print subroutine..text main:set1, %r1! Initialize r1 and r2 set3, %r2 mov%r1, %r8! Print %r1 callprint nop mov%r2, %r8! Print %r2 callprint nop add%r1, %r2, %r8! Do our calculation callprint! Print the result (expect ‘4’) nop ta0 print:set‘0’, %r1! Ascii value of zero or%r8, %r1, %r2! Treat r8 as parameter mov%r2, %r8! Move into output register ta1! Output character mov‘\n’, %r8 ta1! Output end of line (newline) retl! Return nop t What’s wrong with the above code?

CSE360219 Register-based Linkage 3 –Which registers can leaf subroutines change? t Convention for optimized leaf procedures: t The subroutine must not use the value in any other register except to save it to memory somewhere and restore it before returning to the caller. t Problem: how can a subroutine call another subroutine? How can a subroutine call itself?

CSE360220 Register-based Linkage 4 –Example: procedure to print linked list of ints. nop

CSE360221 Parameter Passing 1 –Review of parameter passing mechanisms: t Pass by value copy: parameters to subroutine are copies upon which the subroutine acts. t Pass by result copy: parameters are copies of results produced by the subroutine. t Pass by reference copy: parameters to subroutine are (copies of) addresses of values upon which the subroutine acts. Callee is responsible for saving each result to memory at the location referred to by the appropriate parameter. t Hybrid: some parameters passed by value copy, some by result copy, and/or some by reference copy. Callee is responsible for saving results for reference parameters.

CSE360222 Parameter Passing 2 –Parameter passing notes: t Array or record parameters typically are passed by reference copy (efficiency reasons). Primitive data types may be passed either way. t Conventions among languages allows any language to call functions in any other language: –Pascal: VAR parameters are passed by reference copy; all others are passed by value copy. –C: all parameters are passed by value copy. Must explicitly pass a pointer if you want a reference parameter. –C++: like Pascal, can pass by value or reference copy. –FORTRAN: all things passed by reference copy (even constants). –ADA: pass by value/result copy.

CSE360223 Parameter Passing 3.text ! Example 10.1 of Lab Manual ! pr_str – print a null terminated string ! Parameters: %r8 – pointer to string (initially) ! ! Temporaries: %r8 – the character to be printed ! %r9 – pointer to string ! pr_str: mov %r8, %r9 ! we need %r8 for the “ta 1” below pr_lp: ldub [%r9], %r8 ! load character cmp %r8, 0 ! check for null be pr_dn nop ta 1 ! print character ba pr_lp inc %r9 ! increment the pointer (in ! branch delay slot) pr_dn: retl nop

CSE360224 Parameter Passing 4 t Summary from text (p. 220) –Pass by value copy: For small “in” parameters. Subroutines cannot alter the originals whose copies are passed as parameters. –Pass by value/result copy: For small “in/out” parameters. Caller’s cleanup sequence stores values of any “in/out” parameters. –Pass by reference copy: for “in/out” parameters of all sizes, and large “in” parameters. “Out” values are provided by changing memory at those addresses. (Note: pass by reference copy is passing an address by value copy.)

CSE360225 Parameter Passing 5 –Write Sparc code for the caller and callee for the following subroutine using register based parameter passing ! global_function Integer subchr (A, B, C) ! Substitutes character C for each B in string [A], ! and returns count of changes. ! ! // In comments, "[A+index]" is denoted by "ch". ! index = 0 ! count = 0 ! LOOP: if [A+index]=0 go to END // while (ch != 0) { ! if [A+index]  B go to INC // if (ch == B) { ! [A+index]=C // ch = C; ! count=count+1 // count++; } ! INC: index=index+1 // index++; ! go to LOOP // } ! END:.data! data section C_m:.byte ’I’ ! parameter C B_m:.byte ’i’ ! parameter B A_m:.asciz "i will tip"! parameter A.align 4 R_m:.word 0! for storing result count Assume

CSE360226 Stack-based Linkage 1 u Stack based linkage –Advantages t Permits subroutines to call others. t Allows a larger number of parameters to be passed. t Permits records and arrays to be passed by value copy. t Saving of registers by callee is “built-in”. t A way for callee to reserve memory for other uses is “built-in”, too. –Disadvantages t Slower than register based t More complex protocol –Why a stack? t Subroutine calls and returns happen in a last-in first-out order (LIFO). Also known as a runtime stack, parameter stack, or subroutine stack.

CSE360227 Stack-based Linkage 2 t Items “saved” on the stack in one activation record –Parameters to the subroutine –Old values of registers used in the subroutine –Local memory variables used in subroutine –Return value and return address  Say A() calls B(), B() calls C(), and C() calls A()

CSE360228 Stack-based Linkage 3 –Stack based linkage parameter passing convention t Startup sequence: –Push parameters –Push space for return value t Prologue –Push registers that are changed (including return address) –Allocate space for local variables t Epilogue –Restore general purpose registers –Free local variable space –Use return address to return t Cleanup Sequence –Pop and save returned values –Pop parameters

CSE360229 Stack-based Linkage 4 –Stack based parameter passing example:  Register %r14  %sp  stack pointer –Invariant: Always indicates the top of the stack (it has the address in memory of the last item on stack, usually a word). –Moved when items are “pushed” onto the stack. –Due to interruptions (system interrupts (I/O) and exceptions), values stored above %sp (at addresses less than %sp) can change at any time! Hence, any access above %sp is unsafe!  Register %r30  %fp  frame pointer –Indicates the previous stack pointer. Activation record is from (some subroutine-specific number of words before) the %fp to the %sp. –Invariant: %fp is constant within a subroutine (after prologue).

CSE360230 Stack-based Linkage 5 –Stack based parameter passing example: t Want to implement the following subroutine (also a caller): ! global_function Integer subchr (A, B, C) ! Substitutes character C for all B in string A, ! and returns count of changes. ! ! // In comments, "*(A+index)" is denoted by "ch". ! index = 0 ! count = 0 ! LOOP: if *(A+index)=0 go to END // while (ch != 0) { ! if *(A+index)  B go to INC // if (ch == B) { ! *(A+index)=C // ch = C; ! count=count+1 // count++; } !

CSE360233 Stack-based Linkage 8 u General Guidelines –Keep Startups, Cleanups, Prologues, and Epilogues standard (but not necessarily identical); easy to cut, paste, and modify. –Caller: leave space for return value on the TOP of the stack. –Callee: always save and restore locally used registers. –Pass data structures and arrays by reference, all others by value (efficiency).

CSE360238 HC11 compared with Sparc (3) u A Strange Fact: The HC11 architecture “allows accessing an operand from an external memory location with no execution-time penalty.” [p. 27, M68HC11 Processor Manual] u Reason: The HC11 requirements state that the CPU cycle must be kept long enough to accommodate a memory access within one cycle. This seeming miracle is accomplished by keeping processor speed slow enough.

CSE360241 HC11 Assembly Language Format (1) u Like Sparc, it is line-oriented. u A line may: –Be blank (containing no printable characters), –Be a comment line, the first printable character being either a semicolon (‘;’) or an asterisk (‘*’), or –Have the following format (“[] means an optional field”): [Label] Operation [Operand field] [Comment field]

CSE360242 HC11 Assembly Language Format (2) u Label: –begins in column 1, ending either with a space or a colon (‘:’) –Contains 1 to 15 characters –Case sensitive –The first character may not be a decimal digit (0-9) –Characters may be upper- or lowercase letter, digits 0- 9, period (‘.’), dollar sign (‘$’), or underscore (‘_’)

CSE360243 HC11 Assembly Language Format (3) u Operation: –Cannot begin in column 1 –Contains: t Instruction mnemonic, t Assembler directive, or t Macro call (we haven’t studied macro expansion in this course) u Operand field: –Terminated by a space or tab character, –So multiple operands are separated by commas (‘,’) without using any spaces or tabs

CSE360244 HC11 Assembly Language Format (4) u Comment field: –Begins with the first space character following the operand field (or following the operation, if there is no operand field) –So no special printable character is required to begin a comment field –But it appears to be conventional to begin a comment field with a semicolon (‘;’)

CSE360248 HC11 Addressing Modes u Immediate (IMM) u Extended (EXT) u Direct (DIR) u Inherent (INH) u Relative (REL) u Indexed (INDX, INDY)

CSE360249 Immediate (IMM) u Assembler interprets the # symbol to mean the immediate addressing mode u Examples –LDAA#10 –LDAA#$1C –LDAA#@17 –LDAA#%11100 –LDAA#’C’ –LDAA#LABEL

CSE360250 Extended (EXT) u Lack of # symbol indicates extended or direct addressing mode. These are forms of memory direct addressing, like SAM. u “Extended” means full 16-bit address, whereas “Direct” means directly to a low address, specified using only the least significant 8 bits of the address. u Examples –LDAA$2025 –LDAALABEL

CSE360251 Direct (DIR) u Examples –LDAA$C2 –LDAALABEL

CSE360252 Inherent (INH) u All operands are implicit (i.e., inherent in the instruction) u Examples: ABA, SBA, DAA u ABA means add the contents of register B to the contents of A, placing the sum in A (A + B  A) u SBA means A – B  A u DAA means to adjust the sum that got placed in A by the previous instruction to the correct BCD result; e.g., $09 + $26 yields $2F in A, then DAA changes this to $35.

CSE360253 Relative (REL) u Used only for branch instructions u Relative to the address of the following instruction (the new value of the PC) u Signed offset from -128 to +127 bytes u Examples –BGE-18 –BHS27 –BGTLABEL

CSE360254 Indexed (INDX, INDY) u Uses the contents of either the X or Y register and adds it to a (positive, unsigned) offset contained in the instruction to calculate the effective address u Example –LDAA4,X

CSE360255 Interrupts u When an interrupt is acknowledged, the CPU’s hardware saves the registers’ contents on the stack. An interrupt service routine ends with a(n) RTI instruction. This instruction automatically restores the CPU register values from the copies on the stack.

CSE360256 Condition Code Register (CCR) u It’s reasonably safe to say that every instruction that changes a register (A, B, D, X, Y, SP) affects the CCR appropriately. Unlike Sparc, there are no arithmetic instructions that do not set condition codes. u There do exist instructions that compare a register to a memory location by subtracting the memory contents from the register and throwing the result away, but setting the CCR (CMPA, CMPB, CPD, CPX, CPY).

CSE360257 HC11 Condition Code Register u The H bit is turned on by an 8-bit addition operation when there is a carry from the lower- order nibble into the higher-order nibble, that is to say, from bit 3 into bit 4. 0000 1111 +0000 1000 ------------- 0001 0111 1 0 0 0

CSE360258 HC11 Condition Code Register u The Z bit is turned on when the result is zero. u The N bit is turned on when the result is negative according to the appropriately-sized 2's complement encoding scheme. 0000 1010

CSE360259 HC11 Condition Code Register u The V bit is turned on when, under the appropriately-sized 2's complement interpretation of the two source operands and the result, the result is wrong. 0100 + 1100 ------- 0000 2’s Comp +4 -4 ---- 0 Simple Binary +4 +12 ---- 0?? Correct so V-bit is off Incorrec t so C-bit is on

CSE360260 HC11 Condition Code Register u The C bit is turned on when, under the simple binary interpretation of the two source operands and the result, the result is wrong. 0111 + 0111 ------- 1110 2’s Comp +7 ---- -2?? Simple Binary +7 ---- 14 Incorrec t so V-bit is on Correct so C-bit is off

CSE360261 Example HC11 Program u Problem: Produce the following waveforms on the three least significant bits (LSBs) of parallel 8-bit output Port B (mapped to $1004), where we name the bits X, Y, and Z in increasing order of significance (X is bit 0; Y is bit 1; Z is bit 2). 10 ms 20 ms 15 ms X Y Z

CSE360266 Traps and Exceptions 1 u Traps, Exceptions, and Extended Operations –Other side of low level programming -- the interface between applications and peripherals –OS provides access and protocols

CSE360267 Traps and Exceptions 2 –BIOS: Basic Input/Output System t Subroutines that control I/O t No need for you to write them as application programmer t OS interfaces application with BIOS through traps (extended operations (XOPs))

CSE360268 Traps and Exceptions 3 –Where are OS traps kept? Two approaches: t Transient monitor: traps kept in a library that is copied into the application at link-time t Resident monitor: always keep OS in main memory; applications share the trap routines. t OS routines monitor devices. Frequently used routines kept resident; others loaded as needed.

CSE360269 Traps and Exceptions 4 –(Assuming a res. monitor) How to find I/O routines?  Store routines in memory, and make a call to a hard address. E.g., call 256 –When new OS is released, need to recompile all application programs to use different addresses. t Use a dispatcher –Dispatcher is a subroutine that takes a parameter (the trap number). Dispatcher knows where all routines actually are in memory, and makes the branch for you. Dispatcher subroutine must always exist in the same location. 2

CSE360270 Traps and Exceptions 5 t Use vectored linking –Branch table exists at a well known location. The address of each trap subroutine is stored in the table, indexed by the trap number. –On RISC, usually about 4 words reserved in the table. If the trap routine is larger than 4 words, can call the actual routine.

CSE360271 Traps and Exceptions 6 –Levels of privilege t Supervisor mode - can access every resource t User mode - limited access to resources t OS routines operate in supervisor mode, access is determined by bit in PSW (processor status word).  XOP (book’s notation) can always be executed, sets privilege to supervisor mode ( ta )  RTX (book’s notation) can only be executed by the OS, and returns privilege to user mode ( rett )

CSE360272 Traps and Exceptions 7 –Exceptions t Caused by invalid use of resource. E.g., divide by zero, invalid address, illegal operation, protection violation, etc. t Control transferred automatically to exception handler routine. Similar to trap or XOP transfer. t Exceptions vs. XOPs –XOPs explicit in code, exceptions are implicit –XOPs service request and return to application; exceptions print message and abort (unless masked). –On SPARC, trap table has 256 entries. t 0-127 are reserved for exceptions and external interrupts. 128- 255 are used for XOPs. Trap table begins at address 0x0000. Each entry is 4 instructions (16 bytes) long.

CSE360273 Traps and Exceptions 8 –Trap example: non-blocking read ta 3 t If there is nothing in the keyboard buffer, return with a message that nothing is there. Otherwise, put the character into register 8. –Status of the keyboard is kept in a memory location, as is the (one-character) keyboard buffer. Memory mapped devices.

CSE360274 Traps and Exceptions 9 –Trap execution: ta 3 t Calculate trap address: 3 * 16 + 0x0800 = 16 * (3 + 0x080) t Save nPC and PSW to memory –SPARC uses register windows –Assumes local registers are available t Set privilege level to supervisor mode t Update PC with trap address (and make nPC = PC + 4) (jumps to trap table)  Trap table has instruction ba ta3_handler t rett –Restores PC (from saved nPC value) and PSW (resets to user mode) –Returns to application program

CSE360275 Programmed I/O 1 u Programmed I/O –Early approach: Isolated I/O t Special instructions to do input and output, using two operands: a register and an I/O address. t CPU puts device address on address bus, and issues an I/O instruction to load from or store to the device.

CSE360276 Programmed I/O 2 Isolated I/O

CSE360277 Memory Mapped I/O t No special I/O instructions. Treat the I/O device like a memory address. Hardware checks to see if the memory address is in the I/O device range, and makes the adjustment. t Use high addresses (not “real” memory) for I/O memory maps. E.g., 0xFFFF0000 through 0xFFFFFFFF. CPU Memory I/O addr bus data bus read/write

CSE360278 Programmed I/O 3 –Advantages of each t Memory mapped: reduced instruction set, reduced redundancy in hardware. t Isolated: don’t have to give up memory address space on machines with little memory

CSE360279 Programmed I/O - UARTs t UARTs –Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter –Asynchronous = not on the same clock. –Handshake coordinates communication between two devices. –A kind of programmed I/O. KeyboardUART 0 1 0 CPU. 0 01101010 serial parallel

CSE360280 UARTs 1 u UART registers –Control: set up at init, speed, parity, etc. –Status: transmit empty, receive ready, etc. –Transmit: output data –Receive: input data –All four needed for bi- directional communications, –Status/control, transmit / receive often combined. Why? Control Reg Status Reg Transmit Reg Receive Reg Transmit Logic Receive Logic Control bus Address bus Data bus

CSE360281 UARTs 2 u Memory mapped UARTs –Both memory and I/O “listen” to the address bus. The appropriate device will act based on the addresses. –Keyboards and Printers require three addresses (when addresses are not combined). –Modems require four. –(why?) UART 1 data UART 1 status UART 1 control UART 2 xmit UART 2 recv UART 2 status UART 2 control UART 3 xmit FFFF 0000 FFFF 0004 FFFF 0008 FFFF 000C FFFF 0010 FFFF 0014 FFFF 0018 FFFF 001C CPU MemoryUART1UART2 Control bus Address bus Data bus and so on

CSE360282 Programmed I/O 4 u Programmed I/O Characteristics: –Used to determine if device is ready (can it be read or written). –Each device has a status register in addition to the data register. –Like previous trap example, must check status before getting data. –Involves polling loops.

CSE360283 Programmed I/O – Polling Ex.: ta 2 handler (blocking keyboard input) u Can’t afford to wait like this. Computer is millions of times faster than a typist. Also, multi-tasking operating systems can’t wait. u Special purpose computers can wait. E.g., microwave oven controllers. u Must have a better way! Interrupts are the answer! Are you ready?... Are you ready now?... How about NOW?... Nope.. Not yet.. Hang on..

CSE360284 Interrupts and DMA transfers 1 u Programmed (polled) I/O used busy waiting. –Advantages: simpler hardware –Disadvantages: wastes time u Interrupts (IRQs on PCs) –I/O device “requests” service from CPU. –CPU can execute program code until interrupted. Solves busy waiting problems. –Interrupt handlers are run (like traps) whenever an interrupt occurs. Current application program is suspended.

CSE360285 Interrupts and DMA transfers 2 u Servicing an interrupt –I/O controller generates interrupt, sets request line “high”. –CPU detects interrupt at beginning of fetch/execute cycle (for interrupts “between” instructions). –CPU saves state of running program, invokes intrpt. handler. –Handler services request; sets the request line “low”. –Control is returned to the application program. Application Program : *Interrupt Detected* : Interrupt Handler Service Request : Clear Interrupt

CSE360286 Interrupts and DMA transfers 3 u Changes to fetch/execute cycle u Problems –Requires additional hardware in Timing & Control. –Queuing of interrupts –Interrupting an interrupt handler (solution: priorities and maskable interrupts) –Interrupts that must be serviced within an instruction –How to find address of interrupt handler Interrupt Pending? Save PC Save PSW PSW=new PSW PC=handler_addr PC -> bus load MAR INC to PC load PC YN

CSE360287 Interrupts and DMA transfers 4 u Example: interrupt driven string output –Want to print a string without busy waiting. –Want to return to the application as fast as possible I’m ready!

CSE360288 Trap handler implementation u Install trap handler into trap table –Buffer is like circular queue –only outputs, at most, one character disp_buf:.skip 256 ! buffers string to print disp_frnt:.byte 0 ! offset to front of queue disp_bck:.byte 0 ! offset to back of queue ta_6_handler: ! Copy str from mem[%r8] to mem[disp_buf+disp_bck] ! Disp_back = (disp_back+len(str)) mod 256 ! If display is ready ! If first char is not null, then output it ! Disp_frnt = (disp_frnt+1) mod 256 rett ! Return from trap Disp_buf: disp_frnt  disp_bck  newest byte Undisplayed byte Oldest byte

CSE360289 Interrupt handler implementation u This too outputs only one character at most, but when display becomes ready again, it generates another interrupt which invokes this routine! display_IRQ_handler: ! Save any registers used ! If disp_frnt != disp_bck (queue is not empty) ! Get char at mem[disp_frnt] ! If char is not null, then output it ! Disp_frnt = (disp_frnt+1) mod 256 ! Restore registers and set the request line “low” rett ! Return from trap u Uses the UART for transmission. I’m ready! CPU Memory

CSE360290 Interrupts and DMA transfers 5 u Problems with interrupt driven I/O t CPU is involved with each interrupt t Each interrupt corresponds to transfer of a single byte t Lots of overhead for large amounts of data (blocks of  512 bytes) MemoryCPU Device Controller Execute 10s or 100s of instructions per byte Transfer one word of data Interrupt Transfer one byte of data

CSE360291 Interrupts and DMA transfers 6 u DMA (Direct Memory Access) t Want I/O without CPU intervention t Want larger than one byte data transfers t Solution: add a new device that can talk to both I/O devices and memory without the CPU; a “specialized” CPU strictly for data transfers. Memory CPU Device Controller DMA Controller

CSE360292 Interrupts and DMA transfers 7 u Steps to a DMA transfer –CPU specifies a memory address, the operation (read/write), byte count, and disk block location to the DMA controller (or specify other I/O device). –DMA controller initiates the I/O, and transfers the data to/from memory directly –DMA controller interrupts the CPU when the entire block transfer is completed. u Problem –Conflicts accessing memory. Can either arbitrate access or get a more expensive dual ported memory system.
