9-7 A Simple Computer Architecture In programmable system, a portion of the input to the processor consists of a sequence of instructions. Instructions are usually stored in memory (ROM or RAM) The address for the instruction to be executed is stored program counter (PC) In non-programmable system, the control unit determines the (sequence of) operations to be perform based on only input and status bit. In non-programmable system, the control unit is not responsible to any instruction.

9-7 A Simple Computer Architecture Instruction set architecture Program for specifying the operation to be performed Program is a list of instruction Control unit reads an instruction from memory decode and execute the instruction by issuing a sequence of one or more microoperations

Instruction set architecture Instruction set: a collection of instructions Instruction set architecture (ISA): a thorough description of instruction set Three major components: Storage resource Instruction formats Instruction specifications

Storage resources The instruction memory and data memory can be the same or be different memory depend on different standpoint of the CPU.

Instruction formats If a branch occurs, new address is formed by PC contents + AD (6bits) The 6 bits AD is referred to address offset (in signed 2s complement) Sign extension is used to preserving 2s complement representation

Instruction specifications zf: zero fill se: sign extension Mnemonic: symbolic representati on for opcode Assembler: a program converts the opcode symbol to binary

In memory Why PC < － PC – 20 in address 55? Suppose R4 contains 70 and R5 contains 80

9-8 Single-Cycle Hardwired Control  A control unit that fetches and executes an instruction in a single clock cycle.  We refer to this computer as the single-cycle computer.

Fig Block diagram for a single-cycle computer

Instruction decoder Fig PL=0, PC is incremented (no jump or branch) PL=1, JB=1 for jump, JB=0 for branch 2. BC: for branch condition (Z or N) 3. For Branch on Zero, FS=0000 to pass reg. A. But bit 9 (FS 0 ) is 1. (a contradiction) How to solve?? (See text)

Truth table for instruction decoder You should refer to Table 9-8 for realizing this table.

Single-Cycle Computer Issues Shortcomings of single-cycle computer When performing complex operation, f.g. binary multiplication, it can’t be accomplished by a microoperation that can be executed in a single clock cycle. The control organization that provides multiple clock cycle is needed If single memory for instruction and data is used (at present, there are two distinct memory), at least two clocks, are required for obtaining and executing the instruction. First one is used to fetch instruction the second one is used to read/write data. This can easily be accomplished by multiple-cycle control.

Single-Cycle Computer Issues Long worst-case delay path – lower limit on the clock period Example Fig ns delay => 102MHz limited

End this lecture We neglect the section 9-9 multiple- cycle hardwired control due to less of time.
