2. 2 CS151BJason Cong Recap: Summary from last time °5 steps to design a processor 1. Analyze instruction set => datapath requirements 2. Select set of datapath components & establish clock methodology 3. Assemble datapath meeting the requirements 4. Analyze implementation of each instruction to determine setting of control points that effects the register transfer. 5. Assemble the control logic °MIPS makes it easier Instructions same size Source registers always in same place Immediates same size, location Operations always on registers/immediates °Single cycle datapath  CPI=1, Cycle Time = long!

3. 3 CS151BJason Cong Recap: The MIPS Instruction Formats °All MIPS instructions are 32 bits long. The three instruction formats: R-type I-type J-type °The different fields are: op: operation of the instruction rs, rt, rd: the source and destination registers specifier shamt: shift amount funct: selects the variant of the operation in the “op” field address / immediate: address offset or immediate value target address: target address of the jump instruction optarget address 02631 6 bits26 bits oprsrtrdshamtfunct 061116212631 6 bits 5 bits oprsrt immediate 016212631 6 bits16 bits5 bits
