Instruction Set Architecture
• Computer architecture instruction set is the interface
between hardware and software.
• The attributes of an instruction set include
– Instruction Set (what operations can be performed?)
– Instruction Format (how are instructions specified?)
– Data storage (where is data located?)
– Addressing Modes (how is data accessed?)
– Exceptional Conditions (what happens if something goes wrong?)
• A good understanding of computer architecture is
important for compiler writers, operating system designers,
and general computer programmers.

MIPS Instructions
• MIPS is an Assembly Language
• Assembly languages are more primitive than higher level
languages e.g., no sophisticated control flow
• Assembly languages are very restrictive
e.g., MIPS Arithmetic Instructions
• We’ll be working with the MIPS instruction set architecture
– 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
5
Registers
• Registers are special locations on the processor
– “Bricks” of computer construction
– Used in hardware design and visible to the programmer
– Very fast access
6
MIPS Addressing Modes (Location of operands)
• Addressing modes specify where the data used by an
instruction is located. Data can be in registers, memory or
within the instruction itself (available immediately).
Mode
Example
register direct add $s1, $s2, $s3
Action
$s1 = $s2 + $s3
immediate
addi $s1, $s2, 200 $s1 = $s2 + 200
base + index
lw $s1, 200($s2)
$s1 = mem[200 + $s2]
PC-relative
beq $s1, $s2, 200
if ($s1 == $s2)
PC = PC+4+200*4
Pseudo-direct
j 4000
PC = (PC[31:28],
4000*4)

MIPS Addressing Modes
• All MIPS instructions are 32 bits wide - fixed length
• The instruction format depends on the addressing mode

Representing Instructions in the Computer
• Computer represents numbers in base 2 (binary)
– Series of high and low electronic signals in hardware (on and off)
• Instructions are stored in hardware in the same way
– Can be represented as numbers

Register Names in MIPS Assembly Language
• There is a convention for mapping register names into general
purpose register numbers. Only 32 registers provided.
• Design Principle: smaller is faster. Why?
A large number of registers increase the instruction
execution time because electronic signals longer
travel further.
With 32 registers, each can be represented using
just 5 bits. If you increase the number of registers,
more bits will be required.

MIPS arithmetic
• A compiler translates high-level code to assembly language e.g
MIPS. All MIPS arithmetic instructions have 3 operands
– Design Principle: Simplicity favors regularity
– Same number of operands and in the same order
• Variables are typically stored in registers - why ?
• Operand order is fixed (destination first)
• Example 1:
C code:
a = b + c;
MIPS code: add $s0, $s1, $s2
The registers $s0, $s1, $s2 are associated with variables by compiler, say $s0
with a, $s1 with b and $s2 with c.
•
Example 2:
C code:
MIPS code:
a = b - c;
sub $s0, $s1, $s2
15
MIPS arithmetic: Using temporary registers
• Example 3:
C Code:
a = (b + c) - (d + c);
Assume the variables a, b, c, and d are in registers $s3, $s4,
$s5, and $s6, respectively.
Instruction
add $t2, $s4, $s5
add $t3, $s6, $s5
sub $s3, $t2, $t3
Comment
$t2 = b + c
$t3 = d + c
a = $t2 - $t3
16
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? The compiler
keeps the most frequently used variables in registers and the
rest in memory. This is called spilling of registers.

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 each index points to a byte of
memory.

Memory Organization
• Bytes are nice, but most data items use larger "words"
• For MIPS, a word is 32 bits or 4 bytes.

Registers hold 32 bits of data
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. That is, their addresses are multiples of 4.
19
Stored Program Concept
• Instructions are bits
• Programs are stored in memory
— to be read or written just like data
Processor
Memory
memory for data, programs,
compilers, editors, etc.
Fetch & Execute Cycle
– Instructions are fetched and put into a special register
(PC)
– Bits in the register "control" the subsequent actions
– Fetch the “next” instruction and continue
20
Example of Using MIPS Instructions - Arrays
• Arrays are often stored in memory - why?
• Replace the C code for
A[11] = A[10] + b
•
•
•
•
by equivalent MIPS instructions.
Assume b is in register $s5, the starting address for array A is in
$s6, using and 32-bit integer data.
Instruction
Comment
lw $t3, 40 ($s6)
$t3 = A[10]
add $t4, $t3, $s5
$t4 = A[10] + b
sw $t4, 44($s6)
A[11] = $t4
Why are array indices multiplied by 4? Store word has
destination last
Write assembly instructions to:
b = A[10] + c;
A[11] = b + c;
21
MIPS – Conditional / Unconditional Instructions
• Conditional statements allow us to make decisions. These
decision making instructions
– alter the control flow,
– i.e., change the "next" instruction to be executed
• MIPS unconditional branch instructions:
j
label
• MIPS conditional branch instructions:
bne $t0, $t1, Label
beq $t0, $t1, Label
• Example:
MIPS:
if (i==j) h = i + j;
bne $s0, $s1, Label
add $s3, $s0, $s1
Label:
....
22
MIPS – Conditional / Unconditional Instructions
• Replace the C code for
if (i = = j) f = g + h; else f = g - h;
by equivalent MIPS instructions.
Assume variables f through j correspond to registers $s0 through $s4.
Instruction
bne $s3, $s4, Else
add $s0, $s1, $s2
j Exit
Else: sub $s0, $s1, $s2
Exit:
Comment
if (i != j) goto Else
f=g+h
go to Exit
f=g-h
• How would you implement the loop
while (k < j) k = k + j;
23
MIPS function assembling
• Assume v = $a0, k = $a1, temp = $s1.
• Temporaries used are $t1 (storing into array) and a
temporary holder $t2 (for address of array element).
swap(int v[], int k)
{
int temp;
temp = v[k];
v[k] = v[k+1];
v[k+1] = temp;
}
swap:
# save s/t registers on stack here
muli $t2, $a1, 4
#t2 = k*4
add $t2, $a0, $t2 #t2 has address of v[k]
lw $s1, 0($t2)
#temp = v[k]
lw $t1, 4($t2)
#t1 gets v[k+1]
sw $t1, 0($t2)
#store t1 into v[k]
sw $s1, 4($t2)
#store temp into v[k+1]
# restore registers from stack here
jr $ra
#jump back after call
24
Machine Language
• Instructions, like registers and words of data, are also 32 bits
long
– Example: add $t0, $s1, $s2
– registers have numbers, $t0=8, $s1=17, $s2=18
• Instruction Format:
000000 10001
op
rs
10010
rt
01000
00000
100000
rd shamt funct
• Can you guess what the field names
stand for?
op = Basic operation of the instruction: opcode
rs = The first register source operand
rt = The second register source operand
rd = The register destination operand
shamt = shift amount
funct = function code
25
Machine Language
• Consider the load-word and store-word instructions,
– Design Principle: Good design demands a compromise (maintaining
same format)
• Introduce a new type of instruction format
– I-type for data transfer instructions
– Other format was R-type for register computations
• Example: lw $t0, 32($s2)
35
op
$s2
$t0

rt

16 bit number
• Where's the compromise? (To maintain same length, we settled
with introducing another format RATHER that having the same
format but working with varying lengths)

So far:
• Instruction
Meaning
add $s1,$s2,$s3
sub $s1,$s2,$s3
and $s1,$s2,$s3
lw $s1,100($s2)
sw $s1,100($s2)
bne $s4,$s5,L
beq $s4,$s5,L
j Label
$s1 = $s2 + $s3
$s1 = $s2 – $s3
$s1 = $s2 and $s3
$s1 = Memory[$s2+100]
Memory[$s2+100] = $s1
Next instr. is at Label if $s4 ° $s5
Next instr. is at Label if $s4 = $s5
Next instr. is at Label
• Formats:

28
Constants
• Small constants are used quite frequently (50% of operands)
e.g.,
A = A + 5;
B = B + 1;
C = C - 18;
• Design Principle: Make the common fast
– put 'typical constants' in memory and load them.
– create hard-wired registers (like $zero) for constants like zero.
addi $t0, $zero, 100
add $t0, $t1, $zero
29
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 'pseudo-instructions'
– 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
30
Pseudo-instructions
• The MIPS assembler supports several pseudo-instructions:
– not directly supported in hardware
– implemented using one or more supported instructions
– simplify assembly language programming and translation
• For example, the pseudo-instruction
move $t0, $t1
is implemented as
add $t0, $zero, $t1
• The pseudo-instruction
blt $s0, $s1, Else
is implemented as
slt $at, $s0, $s1
bne $at, $zero, Else
It is safer to use labels, rather than constants, when implementing
branches. Why?
31
Other Issues
• Things we are not going to cover
sign and zero-extension
handling larger constants
support for procedures
linkers, loaders, memory layout
stacks, frames, recursion
manipulating strings and pointers
interrupts and exceptions
system calls and conventions
• We've focused on architectural issues
– basics of MIPS assembly language and machine code
32
Miscellaneous MIPS Instructions
• break
– A breakpoint trap occurs, transfers control to exception handler
• syscall
– A system trap occurs, transfers control to exception handler
• coprocessor instructions
– Provide support for floating point
• TLB instructions
– Provide support for virtual memory
• return from exception
– Used after an exception is generated to restore control to user
• load word left/right
– Supports misaligned word loads
• store word left/right
– Supports misaligned word stores
• All MIPS R2000 Instructions are given in Appendix A.10
33
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” Reduced vs.
Complex Instruction Set Computer.
– 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!
34
PowerPC
• Indexed addressing
– example:
lw $t1,$a0+$s3
– What do we have to do in MIPS?
#$t1=Memory[$a0+$s3]
• 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
35
80x86
•
•
•
•
•
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 is added
“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”
36
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”
37
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!
