Class handouts Material online at http://carmen.osu.edu CSE360 5 Grading Policy: An assigned grader will grade all homeworks and labs – your lecturer will grade all exams. Missed assignments or tests without prior approval will receive a grade of zero. Reasonable excuses must be given in writing to me one week prior to the due date or test date, at which time the circumstances will be evaluated, and approval granted or rejected. No late homeworks or labs will be accepted. Exams are closed book, closed notes, and cover all of the material up to that point. CSE360 6 Grading Weights: Homeworks (6) 25% as assigned Labs (3) 25% as assigned Midterm 20% around the 6th week Final as indicated in master 30% schedule Grading Scale - to be determined CSE360 7 Students with Disabilities If you need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability, please contact me to arrange an appointment as soon as possible. Office for Disability Services – verifies the need for accommodations – Helps develop accommodation strategies. If you have not previously contacted the Office for Disability Services, I encourage you to do so. CSE360 8 Academic Misconduct Academic misconduct is defined as any activity which tends to compromise the academic integrity of the institution, or subvert the educational process. University policy requires that all cases of suspected academic misconduct be submitted to the Committee for Academic Misconduct for a hearing and evaluation. – Any academic misconduct will be dealt with via the appropriate University authorities. CSE360 9 Academic Misconduct Homework, lab assignments, and exams are to be your own work. High-level discussion of assignments is encouraged, but the more specific your discussion, the closer you come to cheating. – The policy on collaboration with others is fairly liberal -- but please don't be tempted to test its limits. CSE360 10 Academic Misconduct You may not write or otherwise record any part of your solution to an assignment while someone is helping you. You may not take a physical or electronic copy of any part of a solution to an assignment from anyone.

CSE360 37 Course Objectives Understanding the architecture (how the computer executes assembly language instructions) is the more important aspect of a course at this level. 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.). CSE360 38 Course Objectives 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. At high levels, assembly language programming techniques will be studied and a specific assembly language will be used to illustrate these techniques.

Your default password is the last four digits of your social security number followed by your first and last initials. – For example, Luke Skywalker, whose social security number is 123-45-6789, has a password of 6789ls. In a CSE laboratory room, you will have to log in to the Windows PC first. – Your initial password there is the same as for UNIX except that it has an additional exclamation mark (‘!’) at the end. Luke Skywalker’s initial Windows password is 6789ls! CSE360 42 Make a Table on an Index Card Show Different Representations of Numeric Values. – Column Headings Should be: Decimal Octal Hexadecimal Binary CSE360 43 One Row for Each Numeric Value. Show, in Increasing Order, – Representations for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … 20 – Then, 25, 26, … 216 – Finally 220, 230, 231, 232 CSE360 44 For Example, Note Roman Nat’l Lang Decimal Octal Hex Binary 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 20 I one 2 2 2 10 21 II two 20 24 14 10100 XXIV Twenty 32 40 20 100000 XXXII .. zero And so on. And so on. 25 .. 2 16 2 20 2 30 2 31 2 32 CSE360 45 Information Representation 1 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., 31610 = – Base eight (octal): digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 form the alphabet. CSE360 E.g., 4748 = 46 Information Representation 2 – Base 16 (hexadecimal): digits 0-9 and A-F. E.g., 13C16 = – 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 dn-1dn-2…d1d0. Summing dn-1rn-1 + dn-2rn-2 + … + d0r0 will convert to base 10. Why to base 10? CSE360 47 Information Representation 3 Base Conversions – Convert to base 10 by multiplication of powers E.g., 100125 = ( )10 – Convert from base 10 by repeated division E.g., 63210 = ( )8 – Converting base x to base y: convert base x to base 10 then convert base 10 to base y CSE360 48 Information Representation 4 – Special case: converting among binary, octal, and hexadecimal is easier CSE360 Go through the binary representation, grouping in sets of 3 or 4. E.g., 110110012 = 11 011 001 = 3318 110110012 = 1101 1001 = D916 E.g., C3B16 = ( )8 49 Information Representation 5 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. CSE360 50 Information Representation 6 Binary Hex Decimal Binary Hex Decimal 0000 0 0 1000 8 8 0001 1 1 1001 9 9 0010 2 2 1010 A 10 0011 3 3 1011 B 11 0100 4 4 1100 C 12 0101 5 5 1101 D 13 0110 6 6 1110 E 14 0111 7 7 1111 F 15 CSE360 51 Information Representation 7 Ranges of values – Q: Given k positions in base n, how many values can you represent? – A: nk values over the range (0…nk-1)10 n=10, k=3: 103=1000 range is (0…999)10 n=2, k=8: 28=256 range is (0…255)10 n=16, k=4: 164=65536 range is (0…65535)10 – Q: How are negative numbers represented? CSE360 52 Information Representation 8 Integer representation: – Value and representation are distinct. E.g., 12 may be represented as XII, C16, 1210, and 11002. Note: -12 may be represented as -C16, -1210, and -11002. – 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 6610 = 0100 00102 and 19410 = 1100 00102 CSE360 53 Information Representation 9 – Signed magnitude: simple binary with leading sign bit. 0 = positive, 1 = negative. E.g., 8-bit signed mag.: 6610 = 0100 00102 -6610 = 1100 00102 What ranges of numbers may be expressed in 8 bits? Largest: Smallest: Extend 1100 0010 to 12 bits: CSE360 54 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 0100 = 4 1000 = 8 E.g., CSE360 0001 = 1 0101 = 5 1001 = 9 0010 = 2 0110 = 6 1010 = + 0011 = 3 0111 = 7 1011 = - 123 : 0000 0001 0010 0011 +123 : 1010 0001 0010 0011 -123 : 1011 0001 0010 0011 55 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. CSE360 56 Information Representation 12 – Two’s Complement CSE360 Used by most machines and languages to represent integers. Fixes the -0 in the signed magnitude, and simplifies machine hardware arithmetic. Divides bit patterns into a positive half and a negative half (with zero considered positive); n bits creates a range of [-2n-1… 2n-1 -1]. CODE Simple Signed 2’s comp 0000 0 +0 0 0001 1 1 1 0010 2 2 2 0011 3 3 3 0100 4 4 4 0101 5 5 5 0110 6 6 6 0111 7 7 7 1000 8 -0 -8 1001 9 -1 -7 1010 10 -2 -6 1011 11 -3 -5 1100 12 -4 -4 1101 13 -5 -3 1110 14 -6 -2 1111 15 -7 -1 57 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 Positive numbers: same as simple binary 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 CSE360 Ex.: convert -32010 to 16-bit 2’s complement Ex.: extend the 12-bit 2’s complement number 1101 0111 1000 to 16 bits. 58 Information Representation 14 Binary Arithmetic – Addition and subtraction only for now – Rules: similar to standard addition and subtraction, but only working with 0 and 1. 0+0=0 1+0=1 0+1=1 1 + 1 = 10 0-0=0 1-0=1 1-1=0 10 - 1 = 1 – Must be aware of possible overflow. CSE360 Ex.: 8-bit signed magnitude 0101 0110 + 0110 0011 = Ex.: 8-bit signed magnitude 0101 0110 - 0110 0011 = 59 Information Representation 15 2’s Complement binary arithmetic – Addition and subtraction are the same operation – Still must be aware of overflow. CSE360 Ex.: 8 bit 2’s complement: 2310 + 4510 = Ex.: 8 bit 2’s complement: 2310 - 4510 = Ex.: 8 bit 2’s complement: 10010 + 4510 = 60 Information Representation 16 – 2’s Complement overflow signs on operands can’t overflow If operand signs are same, but result’s sign is different, must have overflow Opposite CSE360 61 Information Representation 17 Characters and Strings – EBCDIC, Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code Used by IBM in mainframes (360 architecture and descendants). Earliest system – ASCII, American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Most common system – Unicode, http://www.unicode.org CSE360 New international standard Variable length encoding scheme with either 8- or 16-bit minimum “a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language.” 62 Information Representation 18 ASCII – see table 1.7 on pg. 18. In Unix, run “man ascii”. – 7 bit code Printable characters for human interactions Control characters for non-human communication (computercomputer, computer-peripheral, etc.) – 8-bit code: most significant bit may be set CSE360 Extended ASCII (IBM), includes graphical symbols and lines ISO 8859, several international standards Unicode’s UTF-8, variable length code with 8-bit minimum 63 ASCII Easy to decode – But takes up a predictable amount of space Upper and lower case characters are 0x20 (3210) apart ASCII representation of ‘3’ is not the same as the binary representation of 3. – To convert ASCII to binary (an integer), ‘3’-‘0’ = 3 Line feed (LF) character – 000 10102 = 0x0a = 1010 – ‘\n’ = 0xa CSE360 Character ‘ ’ ‘A’ ‘a’ ‘R’ ‘r’ ‘0’ ‘3’ ASCII Binary 010 100 110 101 111 011 011 0000 0001 0001 0010 0010 0000 0011 ASCII Hex 0x20 0x41 0x61 0x52 0x72 0x30 0x33 64 Information Representation 19 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 How many bytes is this? What’s the use of the ’00’? String definition is programming language dependent. C, C++: strings are arrays of characters terminated by a null byte. CSE360 Character ‘ ’ ‘A’ ‘a’ ‘R’ ‘r’ ‘0’ ‘3’ ASCII Binary 010 100 110 101 111 011 011 0000 0001 0001 0010 0010 0000 0011 ASCII Hex 0x20 0x41 0x61 0x52 0x72 0x30 0x33 65 Information Representation 20 Simple data compression – ASCII codes are fixed length. – Huffman codes are variable length and based on statistics of the data to be transmitted. 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. CSE360 “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) 66 ECL - Expected Code Length Char Fixed len encoding Freq Var len encoding # bits Expected # bits 00 .5 1 1 .5 01 .25 01 2 .5 10 .15 001 3 .45 11 .10 000 3 .3 Avg len 2 CSE360 1.75 67 Information Representation 21 Huffman Tree for “a man a plan a canal panama” – Determine frequencies of letters (example ignores spaces) ‘a’ ‘c’ ‘l’ ‘m’ ‘n’ ‘p’ Count Frequency 10 1 2 2 4 2 0.476190 0.047619 0.095238 0.095238 0.190476 0.095238 – Create a forest of single node trees. CSE360 Choose the two trees having the smallest total frequencies (the two “smallest” trees) Merge them together (lesser frequency as the left subtree. Continue merging until only one tree remains. 68 Information Representation 22 Reading a ‘1’ calls for following the left branch. Reading a ‘0’ calls for following the right branch. Decoding using the tree: To decode ‘0001’, start at root and follow r_child, r_child, r_child, l_child, revealing encoded ‘m’.

Single bit errors detected by using parity checking. Parity, here, is the “the state of being odd or even.” CSE360 74 Information Representation 24 How to detect a 1-bit error: – Add a 1-bit parity to make an odd or even number of bits per byte. ASCII Even parity Odd Parity ‘S’ 101 0011 0101 0011 1101 0011 ‘E’ 100 0101 1100 0101 0100 0101 – 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? CSE360 75 Information Representation 25 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. The ASCII encoding scheme has a Hamming distance of 1. A simple parity encoding scheme has a Hamming distance of 2. Hamming distance serves as a measure of the robustness of error checking (as a measure of the redundancy of the encoding). CSE360 76 Basic Components 1 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. Data In D Flip Flop Clock CSE360 Data Out one cycle 77 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). Input Bus d7 d6 d5 d4 d3 Clock d2 d1 d0 8 Clock 8 Bit Register 8 Output Bus CSE360 78 Basic Components 3 – Combinational circuits: implement Boolean functions. No feedback in the circuit, output is strictly a function of input. Gates: and, or, not, xor AND OR NOT XOR E.g., xy + z x y z CSE360 f 79 Basic Components 4 – Gates can be used in combination to implement a simple (half) adder. Addition creates a value, plus a carry-out. Z=XY CO = X Y CSE360 X Y Z CO 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 X Y Z CO 80 Basic Components 5 – Sequential Circuits: introduce feedback into the circuit. Outputs are functions of input and current state. D Q C – Multiplexers: combinational circuits that use n bits to select an output from 2n input lines. i0 i1 i2 i3 4 to 1 MUX f s0 s1 CSE360 81 Basic Components 6 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 Main Memory System Address Pathway Data and Instruction Pathway Operational Registers Arithmetic and Logic Unit Program Counter Control Unit Input/Output System CSE360 82 Basic Components 7 Examples of Von Neumann architecture to be explored in this course: SAM: tiny, good for learning architecture MIPS: text’s example assembly language SPARC: labs M68HC11: used in ECE 567 (taken by CSE majors) Roughly, the order of presentation in this course is as follows: A couple of days on the Main Memory System Weeks on the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Finish the course with the I/O System CSE360 83 Memory Subsystem – the busses Address Bus k Data Bus n The number of elements depend on the size of the address bus. • If k=3, how many addresses? • If k=4, how many addresses? 000 001 010 011 100 101 n-bit Addressible # Addresses = 2k CSE360 84 Memory Subsystem – the busses Address Bus k Data Bus n Capacity depends on how many bits in each element, or the size of the data bus. 000 001 010 011 100 101 • If n=1 and k=3, how many bits? If n=2? • If n=8 and k=3, how many Bytes? n-bit Addressible Bit capacity = 2k * n CSE360 85 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 23 = 8 distinct addresses. •Such a memory can store at most 8 5 = 40 bits of data. Address Contents Decimal Binary 0 000 00011 1 001 01111 2 010 01110 3 011 10100 4 100 00101 5 101 01110 6 110 10100 7 111 10011 •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. CSE360 86 Memory Subsystem - Addressibility Address Bus 001 k Data Bus 010 011 n 000 Addressibility is the size of the memory element 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 100 101 n-bit Addressible How does Addressibility affect capacity? CSE360 87 Memory Subsystem - Addressing Memory may be organized into banks, with bit labels The GLOBAL address of each addressible element would be: [relative address] & [bank address] Address Bus Data Bus Bank 0 Bank 1 000 000 0 000 1 001 001 0 001 1 010 010 0 010 1 011 011 0 011 1 100 100 0 100 1 101 101 0 101 1 See the pattern that forms? CSE360 88 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!

(read = fetch = load, write = store) CPU puts address on address bus A0 A1 CPU sends read signal A(m-1) – (R/W=1, CS=1) – (Read/don’t Write, Chip Select) Wait Memory puts data on data bus – reset (CS=0) CSE360 CS R/ D0 D1 D(n-1) 92 W Basic Components 13 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. Many variations (types) of RAM, all volatile – SDRAM, DDR SDRAM – RDRAM – www.tomshardware.com CSE360 93 Instructional Sparc Emulator - ISEM Editing, Assembling, Linking, and Loading – There are three components to the Instructional SPARC Emulator (ISEM) package that we use for this class: the assembler, the linker, and the emulator/debugger. CSE360 94 Instructional Sparc Emulator - ISEM – Editing – There are a number of programs that you can use to create your source files. Emacs is probably the most popular; vi is also available, but its command syntax is difficult to learn and use; 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. CSE360 95 Example Sparc Assembly Language Instructions % type xmp0.s .data A_m: .word ’?’ B_m : .word 0x30 C_m : .word 0 .text ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Assembler directive: data starts here. A_m, B_m, and C_m are symbolic constants. Furthermore, each is an address of a certain-sized chunk of memory. Here, 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. ! start: ! set A_m, %r2 ! ld [%r2], %r2 ! set B_m, %r3 ! ld [%r3], %r3 ! sub %r2, %r3, %r2 ! set C_m, %r4 ! st %r2, [%r4] ! terminate: ! ta 0 ! beyond_end: ! CSE360 Assembler directive, instructions start here Label (symbolic constant) for this address Put address A_m into register 2 Use r2 as an indirect address for a load (read) Put address B_m into register 3 Read from B_m and replace r3 w/ value at addr B_m Subtract r3 from r2, save in r2 Put address C_m into register 4 Store (write) r2 to memory at address C_m Label for address where ’ta 0’ instruction stored Stop the program Label for address beyond the end of this program 96 Instructional Sparc Emulator - ISEM 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. CSE360 97 Instructional Sparc Emulator - ISEM 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.

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. CSE360 100 Instructional Sparc Emulator - ISEM 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.

CSE360 104 ISEM Debugging Tools For the all-time “most wanted” list of errors (and their fixes) CSE360 105 ISEM Debugging If you still need help – – – – CSE360 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 106 Basic Components 14 CPU: executes instructions -- primitive operations that the computer can perform. – E.g., CSE360 arithmetic data movement control logical A+B A := B if expr goto label AND, OR, XOR… 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). 107 Basic Components 15 – Instruction set: all instructions for a machine. Instruction format specifies number and type of operands. 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. Addr Memory Label 0 8 A 4 9 B 17 R 8 C CSE360 108 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. CSE360 109 A Simple Instruction Set 1 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.

CSE360 137 Instruction Set Architectures 1 RISC vs. CISC – Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC): Many, powerful instructions. High code density to address the Von Neumann Bottleneck. Instructions have varying lengths, number of operands, formats, and clock cycles in execution. – Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC): CSE360 Fewer, less powerful, optimized instructions. Requires simpler, faster hardware. Instructions have fixed length, number of operands, formats, and similar number of clock cycles in execution. 138 Instruction Set Architectures 2 Motivation: memory is comparatively slow. – 10x to 20x slower than processor. – Need to minimize number of trips to memory. Provide faster storage in the processor -- registers. Registers (16, 32, 64 bits wide) are used for intermediate storage for calculations, or repeated operands. Accumulator machine – One data register -- ACC. – 2 memory accesses per instruction -- one for the instruction and one for the operand. CSE360 Add more registers (R0, R1, R2, …, Rn) 139 Instruction Set Architectures 3 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: CSE360 3 addr. machine: both sources and dest are named. 2 addr. machine: both sources named, dest is a source. 1 addr. machine: one source named, other source and dest. is the accumulator. 0 addr. machine: all operands implicit and available on the stack. 140 Instruction Set Architectures 4 1-address architecture: a:=ab+cde – Memory only Code LOAD MPY STORE LOAD MPY MPY ADD STORE # mem refs 100 104 100 108 112 116 100 100 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 Using registers Code LOAD MPY STORE LOAD MPY MPY ADD STORE # mem refs 100 104 R2 108 112 116 R2 100 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 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. CSE360 141 Instruction Set Architectures 5 3-address architecture: a:=ab+cde – Using memory only: Code MPY MPY MPY ADD 100, 200, 200, 100, # mem refs 100, 108, 116, 200, 104 112 200 100 ;a:=ab ;t:=cd ;t:=et ;a:=t+a Memory – Using registers: Code MPY MPY MPY ADD R2, 100, R3, 108, R3, 116, 100, R3, # mem refs 104 112 R3 R2 ;t1:=ab ;t2:=cd ;t2:=et2 ;a:=t1+t2 100 104 108 112 116 ... 200 (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (t) What about instruction size? CSE360 142 Instruction Set Architecture How does instruction size affect addressing? – 16-bit instruction, 3 address, 6 instructions Opcode = 3 bits (23=8) Operand = (size -opcode) / #addr =4 bits Operand = (16-3) / 3 =4 bits Operand = 13 / 3 =4 bits – How many addresses will be supported? – What if the instruction were 32 bit? CSE360 143 Instruction Set Architectures 6 2-address architecture: a:=ab+cde – Using memory only: Code MPY MOVE MPY MPY ADD # mem refs 100, 200, 200, 200, 100, 104 108 112 116 200 ;a:=ab ;t:=c ;t:=td ;t:=te ;a:=t+a 4 3 4 4 4 Memory – Using registers: Code MPY 100, MOVE R2, MPY R2, MPY R2, ADD 100, # mem refs 104 108 112 116 R2 ;a:=ab ;R2:=c ;R2:=R2d ;R2:=R2e ;a:=t+a 4 2 2 2 3 100 104 108 112 116 ... 200 (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (t) Most CISC arch. this way, making 1 operand implicit CSE360 144 Instruction Set Architectures 7 0-address architecture: a:=ab+cde – 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. Code PUSH A PUSH B MPY PUSH C PUSH D PUSH E MPY MPY ADD POP A CSE360 # mem refs 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 1 1 2 Stack E D*E D B C C*D*E A*B + AC*D*E A*B 145 Instruction Set Architectures 8 Load/Store Architectures -- RISC RISC Load/ Store Use of registers is simple and efficient. Therefore, the only instructions that can access memory are load and store. All others reference registers. Code LOAD LOAD LOAD LOAD LOAD MPY MPY MPY ADD STORE CSE360 # mem refs R2, 100 R3, 104 R4, 108 R5, 112 R6, 116 R2, R2, R3, R4, R3, R3, R2, R2, 100, R2 R3 R5 R6 R3 ;R2a ;R3b ;R4c ;R5d ;R6e ;R2ab ;R3cd ;R3(cd)e ;R2ab+(cd)e ;aab+(cd)e 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 2 146 Instruction Set Architectures 9 Why load/store architectures? – Number of instructions (hence, memory references to fetch them) is high, but can work without waiting on memory. 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 Fetch …. execute Fetch …. execute CSE360 Fetch …. execute 147 Instruction Set Architectures 9 Side effects – Register interlock: delaying execution until memory read completes. Machine waits when necessary, to avoid erroneous results. ld [%r1], %r2 add %r2, 100, %r3 – Branch delays: instruction after branch is always executed. Instruction scheduling – Rearranging instructions to maximize efficiency of pipelining CSE360 To prevent register interlock (loads on SPARC) To use branch delay slots (branches on SPARC). 148 SPARC Assembly Language 1 SPARC (Scalable Processor ARChitecture) – Used in Sun workstations, descended from RISC-II developed at UC Berkeley – General Characteristics: 32-bit word size (integer, address, register size, etc.) Byte-addressable memory RISC load/store architecture, 32-bit instruction, few addressing modes 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. CSE360 149 SPARC Assembly Language 2 Structure – Line oriented: 4 types of lines Blank - Ignored 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. Instructions – Comments start after “!” character and go to the end of the line. CSE360 .data x_m: y_m: z_m: .word 0x42 .word 0x20 .word 0 .text start: set ld set ld x_m, %r2 [%r2], %r2 y_m, %r3 [%r3], %r3 ! Load x into reg 2 ! Load y into reg 3 150 SPARC Assembly Language 3 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., w: x: y: z: CSE360 .data .half .byte .byte .word 27000 8 ’m’, 0x6e, 0x0, 0, 0 0x3C5F .text -- following section contains executable instructions 151 SPARC Assembly Language 11 – More assembler directives (.asciz and .ascii): Each of the following two directives is equivalent: – msg01: .asciz "a phrase" – msg01: .byte 'a', ' ', 'p', 'h', 'r' .byte 'a', 's', 'e', 0 Note that .asciz generates one byte for each character between the quote (") marks in the operand, plus a null byte at the end. 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 CSE360 152 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 CSE360 153 SPARC Assembly Language 4 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 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. CSE360 154 SPARC Assembly Language 5 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) CSE360 indirect address notation: @addr vs [addr] operand order, especially the destination register register notation: R2 vs. %r2 branches 155 SPARC Assembly Language 6 – 2-address operations: load and store ld [addr], %r2 st %r2, [addr] ! %r2 M[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 CSE360 156 SPARC Assembly Language 7 Immediate values: operand is not an address, but a value E.g., add %rs, siconst13, %rd !%rd%rs+const CSE360 Immediate value coded as 13 bit 2’s complement. Range is, then, -212…212-1 or -4096 to 4095. Immediate values can be specified in decimal, hexadecimal, octal, or binary. E.g., add %r2, 0x1A, %r2 Constant is coded into instruction itself, therefore available after fetching the instruction (no extra trip to memory for an operand). On SPARC, no special notation for differentiating constants from addresses because no ambiguity in a load/store architecture. 157 SPARC Assembly Language 8 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 iconst32, %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. CSE360 158 SPARC Assembly Language 9 – Operand sizes – set ld ldsb ldub x_m, %r2 [%r2], %r1 [%r2], %r1 [%r2], %r1 !Put addr x_m in %r2 !load word !load byte, sign extended !load byte, extend with 0’s st stb sth %r1, [%r2] !store word, addr is mult of 4 %r1, [%r2] !store byte, any address %r1, [%r2] !store half word, address is even Characters use 8 bits CSE360 double word = 8 bytes, word = 4 bytes, half word = 2 bytes, byte = 8 bits. Recall memory alignment issues. ldub to load a character stb to store a character 159 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 ta 1 ta 5 mov %r8, %r1 set 0x0a, %r8 ta 1 CSE360 !put ’=’ in %r8 !output the ’=’ !read in value into %r8 !copy %r8 into %r1 !load a newline into %r8 !output the newline 160 SPARC Assembly Language 12 – Quick review of instructions so far: ld [addr], %rd st %rd, [addr] op %rs1, %rs2, %rd op %rs, siconst13, %rd set siconst32, %rd ta # ! ! ! ! ! ! %rd M[addr] M[addr] %r2 op is ALU op %rd%rs op const %rdconst trap signal – Have actually seen many more variants, e.g., ldub, ldsb, sth, clr, mov, neg, add, sub, smul, sdiv, umul, udiv, etc. Can evaluate just about any simple arithmetic expression. CSE360 161 Review: Sparc Loads, Stores x_m: .data .word 0xa1b2c3d4 .skip 12 .text set x_m, %r2 ld [%r2], %r3 ldsb [%r2], %r4 ldub [%r2], %r5 st %r3, [%r2+4] sth %r3, [%r2+8] stb %r3, [%r2+12] ta 0 After this runs, what values are in %r2-5, and memory locations starting at byte address x_m? CSE360 162 Flow of Control 1 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; while (i <= n) { f = f * i; i = i + 1; } CSE360 f = 1 i = 2 loop: if (i > n) goto done f = f * i i = i + 1 goto loop done: ... 163 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) (SPARC) BRANCH ba addr addr ! PC addr ! PC addr – Conditional branch CSE360 (book) BRcc R1, R2, target “if R1 cc R2 then PC target” and cc is comparison operation (e.g., LT is <, GE is , etc.) 164 Flow of Control 4 Other conditions (from text, very similar to MIPS) BRLT BRLE BREQ BRNE BRGE BRGT Rn, Rn, Rn, Rn, Rn, Rn, Rm, Rm, Rm, Rm, Rm, Rm, target target target target target target ; ; ; ; ; ; if if if if if if Rn < Rn Rn Rn Rn Rn Rm Rm Rm Rm Rm Rm then then then then then then PCtarget PCtarget PCtarget PCtarget PCtarget PCtarget Can implement high level control structures now. – Factorial example, using the book’s assembly language: loop: done: CSE360 LOAD LOAD LOAD BRGT MPY ADD BRANCH STORE R1, R2, R3, R2, R1, R2, loop f, #1 #2 n R3, R1, R2, R1 done R2 #1 ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; R1 = f = 1 R2 = i = 2 R3 = n branch if i > n f = f * i i = i + 1 goto loop f = n! 165 Flow of Control 3 Evaluating conditional branches – Evaluate condition – If condition is true, then PC target, else PC PC+1 PC to bus, etc. Fetch Addr to bus, load PC Yes No Yes 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? CSE360 OP= BRANCH Yes Cond=T No OP=BRcc Execute No 166 Flow of Control 5 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 Z V C – 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. CSE360 167 ALU Hardware 1 Recall the half-adder – Full-adder adds three single digit binary numbers. Results in a sum, and a carry out.

Technical explanation: the efficiency advantage of pipelining is greater if the following instruction, which has almost completed execution, is allowed to complete. Compilers take advantage of branch delay slots by putting a useful instruction there if possible. For our purposes, use the nop (no operation) instruction to fill branch delay slots. Beware! Forgetting the nop will be a large source of errors in your programs! CSE360 174 High Level Control Structures 1 Converting high level control structures – You get to be the “compiler”. Some compilers convert the source language (C, Pascal, Modula 2, etc.) into assembly language and then assemble the result to an object file. GNU C, C++ do this to GAS (Gnu Assembler). – if-then-else, while-do, repeat-until are all possible to create in a structured way in assembly language. CSE360 175 High Level Control Structures 2 General guidelines – Break down into independent (or nested) logical units – Convert to if/goto pseudo-code. f = 1; for (i=2; i<=n; i++) f = f * i; f=1 i=2 loop: if (i>n) goto done f = f*i i = i+1 goto loop done: ... – Mechanical, step-by-step, non-creative process CSE360 176 High Level Control Structures 3 if-then-else if (a<b) c = d + 1; else c = 7; init: set ld set ld if: cmp bge nop set ld add ba nop else: set end: set st if/goto if (a >= b) goto else c = d + 1 goto end else: c = 7 end: CSE360 a, [%r2], b, [%r3], %r2, else %r2 %r2 %r3 %r3 %r3 d, %r5 [%r5], %r5 %r5, 1, %r4 end 7, c, %r4, ! ! ! ! ! ! get &a into r2 get a into r2 get &b into r3 get b into r3 a ?? b (want >=) a >= b, do then ! get &d into r5 ! get d into r5 ! r4 <- d+1 %r4 ! get 7 into r4 %r5 ! get &c into r5 [%r5] ! c <- r4 177 High Level Control Structures 4 while loops: while (a<b) a = a+1; c = d; if/goto: init: set ld set ld whle: cmp bge nop body: add st ba nop done: set ... a, [%r4], b, [%r3], %r2, done %r4 %r2 %r3 %r3 %r3 ! ! ! ! ! ! get &a into r4 get a into r2 get &b into r3 get b into r3 a ?? b (want >=) a >= b skip body %r2, 1, %r2 ! r2 = a + 1 %r2, [%r4] ! a = a + 1 whle ! repeat loop body c, %r5 ! get &c into r5 whle: if (a>=b) goto done body: a = a+1 goto whle done: c = d CSE360 178 High Level Control Structures 5 repeat-until loops: rpt: repeat … until (a>b) ... ... set ld set ld cmp ble nop a, [%r2], b, [%r3], %r2, rpt %r2 %r2 %r3 %r3 %r3 ; ; ; ; ; ; get &a into r2 get a into r2 get &b into r3 get b into r3 a <= b? do body again if/goto: repeat: … if (a<=b) goto repeat CSE360 179 High Level Control Structures 6 Complex condition if((a<b)and(b>=c)) … if((a<b)or(b>=c)) … These can be combined and used in if/else or while loops.

CSE360 182 Instruction Encodings 1 First, Instruction Encoding is how instructions are assembled – All instructions must fit into 32 bits.

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. bit positions #1 #2 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 sethi 0x10, %r3 !

(However, there is no notcc; use xnorcc.) 191 Bitwise Operations 3 CSE360 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 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! What if we subtract 32 (0b100000) from %r1? What about converting upper to lower case? 192 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 CSE360 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?) 193 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. Rotating shifts: Bits that would have gone into the bit bucket are shifted in instead. (E.g., rr, rl) Rotate Right Rotate Left – Rotate not implemented in SPARC CSE360 194 Addressing Modes 1 Addressing Modes – How do we specify operand values? In a register, location is encoded in the instruction. As a constant, immediate value is in the instruction. In memory, operand is somewhere in memory, location may only be known at runtime. – Memory operands: CSE360 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. 195 Addressing Modes 2 – Summary of addressing modes: Mode Immediate Register Direct Memory Direct Memory Indirect Register Indirect Register Indexed Register Displaced Post Increment Example add %r1, 100, %r1 add %r1, %r2, %r1 add %r1, [2000], %r2 add %r1, [[2000]], %r2 ld [%r1], %r2 st %r1, [%r2+%r3] st %r1, [%r2+x] Loc. Of Operand instruction %r2 mem[2000] mem[mem[2000]] mem[%r1] mem[%r2+%r3] mem[%r2+x] Suitable for SPARC? Constants Integers, constants Integers, constants Pointers Pointers Arrays Records Yes Yes No No Yes Yes Yes ld [%r1]+, %r2 ld -[%r1], %r2 Arrays, strings, stacks Arrays, strings, stacks No Pre Decrement mem[%r1] increment %r1 decrement %r1, mem[%r1] CSE360 No 196 Addressing Modes 3 – Memory Direct addressing 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 CSE360 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! 197 Addressing Modes 4 Register Indirect addressing – Register has address of operand (a pointer). Instruction specifies register number, effective address is contents of register. n_m: set ld .data .word 5 .text n_m, %r1 [%r1], %r3 ; initialize n to 5 ; %r1 has n_m, pointer to n ; fetch n into %r3 – Simulating Register Indirect addressing on SPARC CSE360 SPARC doesn't truly have register indirect addressing. Assembler converts ‘st %r2, [%r1]’ into ‘st %r2, [%r1+%r0]’ 198 Addressing Modes 5 n_m: a_m: sum_m: b_m: loop: .data .word .word .word .skip Ex.: sum up array of integers: 5 4,2,5,8,3 0 5*4 ! ! ! ! .text clr %r2 ! set n_m, %r3 ! ld [%r3], %r3 ! set a_m, %r4 ! ld [%r4], %r5 ! add %r5, %r2, %r2 ! add %r4, 4, %r4 ! subcc %r3, 1, %r3 ! bg loop ! nop ! set sum_m, %r1 ! st %r2, [%r1] ! ta 0 !

CSE360 200 Addressing Modes 7 – Register Indexed addressing .data A: .skip Suitable for accessing successive elements of the same type in a data structure. Ex.: Swap elements A[i] and A[k] in array 24*4 ! reserve array[0..23] of int ! assume i is in %r2 and k is in %r3 .text set A, %r4 ! beginning of array ptr. sll %r2, 2, %r2 ! “multiply” i by 4 sll %r3, 2, %r3 ! “multiply” k by 4 ld [%r2+%r4], %r7 ! r7 <- a[i] r2 r3 ld [%r3+%r4], %r8 ! r8 <- a[k] st %r8, [%r2+%r4] ! a[i] <- r8 001 0010 <- r7 st %r7, [%r3+%r4] ! a[k] <= 100 1000 CSE360 A A+4 A+8 A+12 r4 A r7 r8 after sll Effective address calculations! 201 Addressing Modes 8 Array mapping functions: used by compilers to determine addresses of array elements. – Must know upper bound, lower bound, and size of elements of array. Total storage = (upper - lower + 1)*element_size 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! CSE360 202 Addressing Modes 9 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) kth (k can range from 0…n-1) element is at arr+4k. Array uses zero-based indexing. arr+0 k=0 arr+4 k=1 arr+8 k=2 arr+12 arr+16 arr+20 k=3 k=4 k=5 array of 6 elements, 4 bytes each CSE360 203 Addressing Modes 10 2D array mapping functions: must linearize the 2D concept; e.g., map the 2D structure into 1D memory. 0 1 2 3 4 0 0,0 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4 1 1,0 1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 2 2,0 2,1 2,2 2,3 2,4 3 Rows (0...2) 5 Columns (0...4) – Convert into 1D array in memory 0,0 CSE360 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4 1,0 1,1 ..... 2,3 2,4 204 Addressing Modes 11 2 ways to convert to 1D – Row major order (Pascal, C, Modula-2) stores first by rows, then by columns. E.g., 0,0 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4 1,0 1,1 ..... 2,3 2,4 – Column major order (FORTRAN) stores first by columns then by rows. E.g., 0,0 CSE360 1,0 2,0 0,1 1,1 2,1 0,2 ..... 1,4 2,4 205 Addressing Modes Row major 2D array mapping function: 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: 0 1 2 3 4 0 0,0 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4 1 1,0 1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 2 2,0 2,1 2,2 2,3 2,4 arr + (y ´ i + j) ´ m Offset to A (0,2) = (5 * 0 + 2) * element size 3 Rows (0...2) 5 Columns (0...4) 0,0 CSE360 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4 1,0 1,1 ..... 2,3 2,4 206 Addressing Modes 12 – 3D array mapping function: natural extension of 2D function.

Element (i, j, k) is found at location: arr + (z(yi + j) + k)m CSE360 207 Addressing Modes 15 – Displacement Addressing Suitable for accessing the individual fields of record data structures. Each field can be of a different type. 20 Characters Name Age Integer DOB Integer Logical view of a record Use .set directive to establish offsets to fields within records. Then use displacement addressing to access those fields. Actual layout of record in memory 20 bytes person+0 CSE360 4 bytes 4 bytes person+20 person+24 208 Addressing Modes 16 Ex.: Add 1 to the age field in a person record .data .set name, 0 .set age, 20 .set dob, 24 person: .skip 28 ! ! ! ! offset to offset to offset to size of a name field age field date of birth person record ! ! ! ! get addr of person record get the age of the person increment age by 1 store back to record .text .... set ld add st person, %r1 [%r1+age], %r2 %r2, 1, %r2 %r2, [%r1+age] CSE360 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. 209 Addressing Modes 17 – Auto-increment and Auto-decrement addressing CSE360 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. Useful for traversing arrays forward (auto-increment) and backward (auto-decrement). Also useful for stacks and queues of data elements. 210 Subroutines 1 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. 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. CSE360 211 Subroutines 2 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 CSE360 212 Subroutines 3 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 CSE360 213 Subroutines 4 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 CSE360 214 Subroutines 4 Returning from a subroutine – Assembly language syntax for returning from a subroutine retl nop 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 CSE360 215 Subroutines 5 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). CSE360 216 Register-based Linkage 1 – Subroutine linkage: Startup Sequence Cleanup Sequence Prologue Body tl CSE360 Callee Caller re Startup Sequence: load parameters and return address into registers, branch to subroutine. Prologue: if non-leaf procedure then save return address to memory, save registers used by callee. Epilogue: place return parameters into registers, restore registers saved in prologue, restore saved return address, return. Cleanup Sequence: work with returned values ca ll Epilogue 217 Register-based Linkage 2 – Example: Print subroutine. main: print: CSE360 .text set set mov call nop mov call nop add call nop ta set or mov ta mov ta retl nop 1, %r1 3, %r2 %r1, %r8 print ! Initialize r1 and r2 %r2, %r8 print ! Print %r2 %r1, %r2, %r8 print ! Do our calculation ! Print the result (expect ‘4’) 0 ‘0’, %r1 %r8, %r1, %r2 %r2, %r8 1 ‘\n’, %r8 1 ! Print %r1 ! ! ! ! Ascii value of zero Treat r8 as parameter Move into output register Output character ! Output end of line (newline) ! Return What’s wrong with the above code? 218 Register-based Linkage 3 – Which registers can leaf subroutines change? Convention for optimized leaf procedures: Register(s) %r0 %r1 %r2-%r7 %r8 %r8-%r13 %r14 %r15 %r30 %r16-%r29, %r31 CSE360 Use Zero Temporary Caller’s variables Return value Parameters Stack pointer Return address Frame pointer Caller’s variables Mentionable? Yes Yes No Yes Yes No Yes, but preserve No No 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. Problem: how can a subroutine call another subroutine? How can a subroutine call itself? 219 Register-based Linkage 4 – Example: procedure to print linked list of ints. head 5 7 4 1 .data .set dta, 0 .set ptr, 4 head: .word 0 ! offset in record to data ! offset in record to next pointer .text main: . . . . set head, %r8 ld [%r8], %r8 call trav nop . . . . ! ! ! ! ! nil does all init and allocation of list prepare parameter to traverse proc follow head pointer to first node call subroutine branch delay trav: mov %r8, %r1 ! copy pointer to %r1 loop: cmp %r1, 0 ! check for null pointer be done ! null pointer means we are done nop ! branch delay ld [%r1+dta], %r8 ! follow pointer and get data field ta 4 ! print data field ld [%r1+ptr], %r1 ! get pointer to next record ba loop nop ! branch delay done: retl nop CSE360 220 Parameter Passing 1 – Review of parameter passing mechanisms: CSE360 Pass by value copy: parameters to subroutine are copies upon which the subroutine acts. Pass by result copy: parameters are copies of results produced by the subroutine. 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. 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. 221 Parameter Passing 2 – Parameter passing notes: Array or record parameters typically are passed by reference copy (efficiency reasons). Primitive data types may be passed either way. 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. CSE360 222 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 CSE360 223 Parameter Passing 4 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.) CSE360 224 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 index = 0 count = 0 LOOP: if [A+index]=0 go to END if [A+index]B go to INC [A+index]=C count=count+1 INC: index=index+1 go to LOOP END: Assume C_m: B_m: A_m: R_m: CSE360 denoted by "ch". // while (ch != 0) { // if (ch == B) { // ch = C; // count++; } // index++; // } .data ! data section .byte ’I’ ! parameter C .byte ’i’ ! parameter B .asciz "i will tip" ! parameter A .align 4 .word 0 ! for storing result count 225 Stack-based Linkage 1 Stack based linkage – Advantages Permits subroutines to call others. Allows a larger number of parameters to be passed. Permits records and arrays to be passed by value copy. Saving of registers by callee is “built-in”. A way for callee to reserve memory for other uses is “built-in”, too. – Disadvantages Slower than register based More complex protocol – Why a stack? CSE360 Subroutine calls and returns happen in a last-in first-out order (LIFO). Also known as a runtime stack, parameter stack, or subroutine stack. 226 Stack-based Linkage 2 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 CSE360 Say A() calls B(), B() calls C(), and C() calls A() Runtime Stack 2nd stack frame for A 1st stack frame for C 1st stack frame for B 1st stack frame for A Expanded View Local variables Saved general purpose registers Return addresses Return values Parameters 227 Stack-based Linkage 3 – Stack based linkage parameter passing convention Startup sequence: Caller – Push parameters – Push space for return value Prologue Epilogue – Restore general purpose registers – Free local variable space – Use return address to return Body tl Cleanup Sequence Prologue re – Push registers that are changed (including return address) – Allocate space for local variables Startup Sequence Callee ca ll Epilogue Cleanup Sequence – Pop and save returned values – Pop parameters CSE360 228 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). CSE360 229 Stack-based Linkage 5 – Stack based parameter passing example: ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 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 index = 0 count = 0 LOOP: if *(A+index)=0 go to END if *(A+index)B go to INC *(A+index)=C count=count+1 INC: index=index+1 go to LOOP END: denoted by "ch". // while (ch != 0) { // if (ch == B) { // ch = C; // count++; } // index++; // } C_m: B_m: A_m: R_m: CSE360 .data ! data section .byte ’I’ ! parameter C .byte ’i’ ! parameter B .asciz "i will tip" ! parameter A .align 4 .word 0 ! for storing result count 230 Stack-based Linkage 6 .data ! data section .word ’I’ ! parameter C .word ’i’ ! parameter B .asciz "i will tip" ! parameter A .align 4 ! align to word address stack: .skip 250*4 ! allocate 250 word stack bstak: ! point to bottom of stack R_m: .word 0 ! reserve for count .text !

CSE360 235 HC11 compared with Sparc (1) HC11 Sparc CISC RISC, Load/Store Instruction encoding lengths vary (8 to 32 bits) Instruction encoding lengths constant (32 bits) About 316 instructions About 175 instructions 4 16-bit user registers, one of which is divided into two 8bit registers 32 32-bit user integer registers CSE360 236 HC11 compared with Sparc (2) HC11 Sparc 8-bit data bus 32-bit data bus 16-bit address bus 32-bit address bus 8-bit addressable 8-bit addressable Instruction execution not overlapped Instruction execution overlapped in a pipeline CSE360 237 HC11 compared with Sparc (3) 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] 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.

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] CSE360 241 HC11 Assembly Language Format (2) 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 09, period (‘.’), dollar sign (‘$’), or underscore (‘_’) CSE360 242 HC11 Assembly Language Format (3) Operation: – Cannot begin in column 1 – Contains: Instruction mnemonic, Assembler directive, or Macro call (we haven’t studied macro expansion in this course) Operand field: – Terminated by a space or tab character, – So multiple operands are separated by commas (‘,’) without using any spaces or tabs CSE360 243 HC11 Assembly Language Format (4) 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 (‘;’) CSE360 244 Prefixes for Numeric Constants Encoding Decimal HC11 Sparc No symbol No symbol Hexadecimal $ 0x Octal @ 0 Binary % 0b CSE360 245 Assembler Directives (1) Meaning HC11 Sparc Set location counter (origin) ORG .data or .text End of source END Doesn’t have Equate symbol to a value EQU .set Form constant byte FCB .byte CSE360 246 Assembler Directives (2) Meaning HC11 Sparc Form double byte FDB .half Form character string constant FCC .ascii Reserve memory byte or bytes RMB .skip CSE360 247 HC11 Addressing Modes Immediate (IMM) Extended (EXT) Direct (DIR) Inherent (INH) Relative (REL) Indexed (INDX, INDY) CSE360 248 Immediate (IMM) Assembler interprets the # symbol to mean the immediate addressing mode Examples – – – – – – CSE360 LDAA LDAA LDAA LDAA LDAA LDAA #10 #$1C #@17 #%11100 #’C’ #LABEL 249 Extended (EXT) Lack of # symbol indicates extended or direct addressing mode. These are forms of memory direct addressing, like SAM. “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. Examples – LDAA $2025 – LDAA LABEL CSE360 250 Direct (DIR) Examples – LDAA $C2 – LDAA LABEL CSE360 251 Inherent (INH) All operands are implicit (i.e., inherent in the instruction) Examples: ABA, SBA, DAA ABA means add the contents of register B to the contents of A, placing the sum in A (A + B A) SBA means A – B A 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. CSE360 252 Relative (REL) Used only for branch instructions Relative to the address of the following instruction (the new value of the PC) Signed offset from -128 to +127 bytes Examples – BGE – BHS – BGT CSE360 -18 27 LABEL 253 Indexed (INDX, INDY) 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 Example – LDAA 4,X CSE360 254 Interrupts 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. CSE360 255 Condition Code Register (CCR) 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. 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). CSE360 256 HC11 Condition Code Register The H bit is turned on by an 8-bit addition operation when there is a carry from the lowerorder nibble into the higher-order nibble, that is to say, from bit 3 into bit 4. 1 000 0000 1111 +0000 1000 ------------0001 0111 CSE360 257 HC11 Condition Code Register The Z bit is turned on when the result is zero. 0000 0000 The N bit is turned on when the result is negative according to the appropriately-sized 2's complement encoding scheme. 1010 1010 CSE360 258 HC11 Condition Code Register 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 CSE360 2’s Comp Simple Binary +4 +4 -4 +12 ------Incorrec 0 0?? t so C-bit Correct so V-bit is off is on 259 HC11 Condition Code Register 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 CSE360 2’s Comp Simple Binary +7 +7 +7 +7 ------Correct -2?? 14 so C-bit Incorrec t so V-bit is on is off 260 Example HC11 Program 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 X 20 ms Y 15 ms Z CSE360 261 Example Source File, p. 1 STACK: EQU PORTB: EQU $00FF $1004 ORG 0 DELAY1: FCB 10 DELAY2: FCB 20 DELAY3: FCB 15 CSE360 ; set stack pointer ; set address of Port B ; set the waveform times ; for X, Y, and Z 262 Example Source File, p. 2 ORG $E000 ; program starts at $E000 MAIN: LDS #STACK ; initialize stack pointer L0: LDAA #1 ; set X on Port B to 1 STAA PORTB LDAB DELAY1 ; delay for 10 ms L1: JSR DELAY_1MS DECB BNE L1 CSE360 263 Example Source File, p. 3 LDAA #%00000010 STAA PORTB LDAB DELAY2 L2: JSR DELAY_1MS DECB BNE L2 LDAA #%00000100 STAA PORTB LDAB DELAY3 L3: JSR DELAY_1MS DECB BNE L3 BRA L0 CSE360 ; set Y on Port B to 1 ; delay for 20 ms ; set Z on Port B to 1 ; delay for 15 ms ; continue to cycle 264 Example Source File, p. 4 DELAY_1MS: PSHB LDAB #198 DELAY: DECB BRN DELAY NOP BNE DELAY PULB RETURN: RTS RESET: CSE360 ORG FDB END $FFFE MAIN ; subr. to delay for 1 ms ; initialize reset vector 265 Traps and Exceptions 1 Traps, Exceptions, and Extended Operations – Other side of low level programming -- the interface between applications and peripherals – OS provides access and protocols CSE360 266 Traps and Exceptions 2 – BIOS: Basic Input/Output System Subroutines that control I/O No need for you to write them as application programmer OS interfaces application with BIOS through traps (extended operations (XOPs)) Applications software BIOS Keyboard CSE360 Screen Mouse Disk 267 Traps and Exceptions 3 – Where are OS traps kept? Two approaches: Transient monitor: traps kept in a library that is copied into the application at link-time Appl 1 Appl 2 Appl 3 Appl 4 OS rtns OS rtns OS rtns OS rtns Resident monitor: always keep OS in main memory; applications share the trap routines. Appl 1 Appl 3 Appl 5 Appl 2 Appl 4 Appl 6 OS rtns CSE360 OS routines monitor devices. Frequently used routines kept resident; others loaded as needed. 268 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. 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. BIOS 1 Application Dispatcher BIOS 12 BIOS n CSE360 269 Traps and Exceptions 5 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. CSE360 100 Addr of trap 0 100 104 Addr of trap 1 116 108 Addr of trap 2 132 100+4n Addr of trap n 100+16n 270 Traps and Exceptions 6 – Levels of privilege CSE360 Supervisor mode - can access every resource User mode - limited access to resources 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) 271 Traps and Exceptions 7 – Exceptions Caused by invalid use of resource. E.g., divide by zero, invalid address, illegal operation, protection violation, etc. Control transferred automatically to exception handler routine. Similar to trap or XOP transfer. 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. CSE360 0-127 are reserved for exceptions and external interrupts. 128255 are used for XOPs. Trap table begins at address 0x0000. Each entry is 4 instructions (16 bytes) long. 272 Traps and Exceptions 8 – Trap example: non-blocking read ta 3 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. ! ta 3 returns character if one is there, otherwise ! it returns 0x8000000 into %r8 set 0x8000000, %r8 ! set default return val set KbdStatus, %r1 ! KbdStatus is memory loc ld [%r1], %r1 ! read status (1 is ready) andcc %r1, 1, %r1 ! check status be rtn ! can’t read anything set KbdBuff, %r1 ! KbdBuff is memory loc ld [%r1], %r8 ! get character rtn: rett ! return to caller CSE360 273 Traps and Exceptions 9 – Trap execution: ta 3 Calculate trap address: 3 * 16 + 0x0800 = 16 * (3 + 0x080) Save nPC and PSW to memory – SPARC uses register windows – Assumes local registers are available Set privilege level to supervisor mode Update PC with trap address (and make nPC = PC + 4) (jumps to trap table) Trap table has instruction ba ta3_handler rett – Restores PC (from saved nPC value) and PSW (resets to user mode) – Returns to application program CSE360 274 Programmed I/O 1 Programmed I/O – Early approach: Isolated I/O Special instructions to do input and output, using two operands: a register and an I/O address. CPU puts device address on address bus, and issues an I/O instruction to load from or store to the device. CSE360 275 Programmed I/O 2 Isolated I/O addr bus data bus Memory read/write CPU addr bus data bus I/O read/write CSE360 276 Memory Mapped I/O 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. Use high addresses (not “real” memory) for I/O memory maps. E.g., 0xFFFF0000 through 0xFFFFFFFF. memory addr bus unused data bus Memory read/write CPU I/O I/O unused CSE360 277 Programmed I/O 3 – Advantages of each Memory mapped: reduced instruction set, reduced redundancy in hardware. Isolated: don’t have to give up memory address space on machines with little memory CSE360 278 Programmed I/O - UARTs UARTs – Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter Keyboard 01101010 serial UART parallel 0 1 1 0 CPU . . 0 – Asynchronous = not on the same clock. – Handshake coordinates communication between two devices. – A kind of programmed I/O. CSE360 279 UARTs 1 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 bidirectional communications, – Status/control, transmit / receive often combined. Why? CSE360 Control bus Address bus Control Reg Status Reg Transmit Reg Receive Reg Transmit Logic Receive Logic Data bus 280 UARTs 2 FFFF 0000 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?) Address bus Control bus CPU Memory UART1 UART 1 data FFFF 0004 UART 1 status FFFF 0008 UART 1 control FFFF 000C UART 2 xmit FFFF 0010 UART 2 recv FFFF 0014 UART 2 status FFFF 0018 UART 2 control FFFF 001C UART 3 xmit and so on UART2 Data bus CSE360 281 Programmed I/O 4 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. CSE360 282 Programmed I/O – Polling Ex.: ta 2 handler (blocking keyboard input) ta_2_handler: set KbdBuff, %r1 set KbdStatus, %r9 wait: ld [%r9], %r10 andcc %r10, 1, %r10 be wait nop ld [%r1], %r8 rett ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! get addr of kbd buffer get addr of kbd status get status check if ready loop until ready branch delay get data return from trap Are you ready?... Are you ready now?... How about NOW?... Nope .. Not yet.. Hang on.. Can’t afford to wait like this. Computer is millions of times faster than a typist. Also, multi-tasking operating systems can’t wait. Special purpose computers can wait. E.g., microwave oven controllers. Must have a better way! Interrupts are the answer! CSE360 283 Interrupts and DMA transfers 1 Programmed (polled) I/O used busy waiting. – Advantages: simpler hardware – Disadvantages: wastes time 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. CSE360 284 Interrupts and DMA transfers 2 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. CSE360 Application Program : : *Interrupt Detected* : : Interrupt Handler Service Request : : Clear Interrupt 285 Interrupts and DMA transfers 3 Changes to fetch/execute cycle 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 CSE360 Y Interrupt Pending? N Save PC Save PSW PSW=new PSW PC=handler_addr PC -> bus load MAR INC to PC load PC 286 Interrupts and DMA transfers 4 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! CSE360 287 Trap handler implementation Install trap handler into trap table – Buffer is like circular queue – only outputs, at most, one character disp_buf: .skip 256 disp_frnt: .byte 0 disp_bck: .byte 0 ! buffers string to print ! offset to front of queue ! 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 CSE360 Disp_buf: disp_frnt Oldest byte Undisplayed byte newest byte disp_bck 288 Interrupt handler implementation 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 I’m ready! Uses the UART for transmission. CPU Memory CSE360 289 Interrupts and DMA transfers 5 Problems with interrupt driven I/O CPU is involved with each interrupt Each interrupt corresponds to transfer of a single byte Lots of overhead for large amounts of data (blocks of 512 bytes) Execute 10s or 100s of instructions per byte Memory Transfer one word of data CSE360 CPU Device Controller Interrupt Transfer one byte of data 290 Interrupts and DMA transfers 6 DMA (Direct Memory Access) Want I/O without CPU intervention Want larger than one byte data transfers 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. CPU Device Controller Memory DMA Controller CSE360 291 Interrupts and DMA transfers 7 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. Problem – Conflicts accessing memory. Can either arbitrate access or get a more expensive dual ported memory system. CSE360 292
