  6. DLX Instructions Instruction type/ Instruction meaning Opcode Data transfers Only memory address mode is 16-bit disp + contents of a GPR LB, LBU, SB Load byte, load byte unsigned, store byte LH, LHU, SH Half word LW, SW Word(to/from integer registers) LF, LD, SF, SD Load SP float, load DP float, store SP float, store DP float MOVI2S, MOVS2I Move from/to GPR to/from a special register MOVF, MOVD Copy one FP register or a DP pair to another register or pair MOVFP2I, MOVI2FP Move 32 bits from/to FP registers to/from integer registers Arithmetic/logical ADD, ADDI, ADDU, ADDUI Add, add immediate(16 bits); signed and unsigned SUB, SUBI, SUBU, SUBUI Subtract MULT, MULTU, DIV, DIVU Multiply and divide, signed and unsigned; operands must be FP regs; all operations take and yield 32-bit values AND, ANDI And, and immediate OR, ORI, XOR, XORI OR, Exclusive-OR LHI Load high immediate --- load upper half of register with immediate CS510 Computer Architectures

  7. DLX instructions Shift SLL, SRL, SRA, SLLI, Shifts: both immediate(S__I) and variable form (S__); logical, arithmetic SRLI, SRAI S__, S__I Set conditional: “__” may be LT, GT, LE, GE, EQ, NE ControlConditional branches and jumps; PC-relative or through register BEQZ, BNEZ Branch GPR equal/not equal to zero: 16-bit offset from PC+4 BFPT, BFPF Test comparison bit in the FP status register and branch; 16-bit offset J, JR Jumps:26-bit offset or target in register JAL, JALR Jump and link: save PC+4 in R31 TRAP Transfer to operating system at a vectored address RFE Return to user code from an exception; restore user mode Floating pointFP operations on DP and SP format FcnD, FcnF Fcn: ADD, SUB, MULT, DIV CVTF2D, CVTF2I, Convert instructions: F single precision, D double precision, I integer CVTD2F, CVTD2I, Both operands are FPRs CVTI2F, CVTI2D, __D, __F DP and SP compares: “__” = LT, GT, LE, GE, EQ, NE; sets bits in FP status register CS510 Computer Architectures

  9. Add NPC +4 PC Instr. Memory IR 5 Steps of DLX Instr. Execution:Step1 Step 1: Instruction fetch cycle (IF) • Read instruction from memory and store into IR • IR ¬ Mem[PC] • Calculate the next instruction address • NPC ¬ PC+4 • 1 instruction is stored in consecutive 4 bytes CS510 Computer Architectures

  10. A Reg File IR B Rd b OP Sign Ext Imm 32 16 5 Steps of DLX Instr. Execution:Step2 • Step 2: Instruction decode/register fetch cycle (ID) • Read source registers to A and B • A ¬ Regs[IR6..10] • B ¬ Regs[IR11..15] • Make 16 bits sign extension of 16-bit immediate field to make a 32-bit immediate value Imm ¬ ((IR16)16## IR16..31) • Decoding is done in parallel: fixed-field decoding b ¬ Rd CS510 Computer Architectures

  11. 5 Steps of DLX Instr. Execution:Step 3 • Step 3: Execution/effective address cycle (EX): • Memory reference: Effective Address calculation • ALUOutput ¬A + Imm • Register-register ALU instruction: Perform ALU operation with R’s • ALUOutput ¬ A func B; func B • Register-Immediate ALU instruction: Perform ALU operation with immediate operand • ALUOutput ¬ A op Imm • Branch: Effective Address calculation for branch target address • Determine condition code • ALUOutput ¬ NPC + Imm; Cond ¬ (A op 0) CS510 Computer Architectures

  13. NPC MUX PC ALUOut Cond Data Memory LMD B 5 Steps of DLX Instr. Execution:Step 4 Step 4: Memory access/branch completion cycle (MEM): • Memory reference : Access memory either • for LD: LMD ¬ Mem[ALUOutput] or • for ST: Mem[ALUOutput] ¬ B • Branch : Test Condition • if (cond) PC ¬ ALUOutput, else PC ¬ NPC; CS510 Computer Architectures

  14. LMD MUX Register File ALUOut OP 5 Steps of DLX Instr. Execution:Step 5 • Step 5: Write-back cycle (WB): • Reg-Reg ALU : Store the result into the destination register • Regs[IR16..20] ¬ ALUOutput; • Reg-Immediate ALU : Store the result into destination register • Regs[IR11..15] ¬ ALUOutput; • Load instruction: Store the data read from memory to the destination register • Regs[IR11..15] ¬ LMD; CS510 Computer Architectures

  16. MR-instructions A Simple Implementation • A multi-cycle implementation • needs temporary registers-- NPC, IC, A, B, Imm, Cond, ALUOutput, LMD • CPI improvements: Branch - 4 cycles, ALU - 4 cycles • if brach freq : 12 %, ALU instr. freq : 44% CPI = 0.12 x 4 + 0.44 x 4 + 0.44 x 5 = 4.44 • A single-cycle implementation • one long clock cycle • very inefficient for most machines that have a reasonable variation among the amount of work • requires the duplication of FU that could be shared in a multi-cycle implementation CS510 Computer Architectures

  18. Saving Information Produced by Each Stage of Pipeline • Information need to be stored at the end of a clock cycle, otherwise it will be lost • Each pipeline stage produces information(data, address, and control) at the end of the clock cycle • Thus, we need a storage(called inter-stage buffer) at end of each pipeline stage CS510 Computer Architectures

  19. Inter-Stage Buffer in DLX Pipeline • F/D Buffer • IR, NPC • D/A Buffer • A, B, Imm, b(destination Reg address to store result), OP(OP-code), cond • NPC • A/M Buffer • ALUout(arithmetic result or effective address) • NPC, cond, b, OP • M/W Buffer • LMD(data for LD) • ALUout(arithmetic result), b, OP CS510 Computer Architectures

  21. Reminder • In conventional Single Port Memory, Instruction Memory and Data Memory are the same memory • Both IF and Mem stages use memory • One instruction uses the same hardware resource in two different cycles • Two instructions try to use the same hardware resource in different stages of pipeline at the same time • For Branch instructions, Branch Target Address is available in the Mem stage CS510 Computer Architectures
