  1. Chapter 11Instruction Sets Addressing Modes and Formats

  2. Team Members • Jose Alvarez • Daniel Monsalve • Marlon Calero • Alfredo Guerrero • Oskar Pio • Andres Manyoma

  3. Addressing Modes • An addressing mode is the method by which an instruction references memory • Types of addressing modes: • Immediate • Direct • Indirect • Register • Register Indirect • Displacement (Indexed) • Stack

  4. Immediate Addressing • Simplest form of addressing • Actual data is stored in instruction • Value of the operand is stored within instruction • Data sizes vary by processor and by instruction • No memory reference (other than instruction fetch) required to obtain operand • Size of number limited to size of address field

  5. Immediate Addressing Diagram Instruction Opcode Operand

  6. Direct Addressing • Instruction points to location of stored value, but value itself is out of memory • Single memory reference to access data • No additional calculations needed to work out effective address • Frequently used for global variables in high level language • Limited address space

  7. Direct Addressing Diagram Instruction Opcode Address A Memory Operand

  8. Indirect Addressing • Memory pointed to by address field contains the address of the operand • Large address space • 2n where n = word length • Multiple memory accesses to find operand • Hence slower

  9. Indirect Addressing Diagram Instruction Opcode Address A Memory Pointer to operand Operand

  10. Register Addressing • Specified instruction contains required operand • Limited number of registers • Small address field needed • Leads to shorter instructions, but faster fetch cycle • No memory access • Fast execution • Limited address space

  11. Register Addressing Diagram Instruction Opcode Register Address R Registers Operand

  12. Register Indirect Addressing • Very similar to indirect addressing • Only one main difference between the two • Algorithms: • Register Indirect: EA = (R) • Indirect: EA = (A) • Advantages/disadvantages also similar to those of indirect addressing: • Advantage: Large address space (2n) • Disadvantage: Extra memory reference

  13. Register Indirect Addressing Diagram Instruction Opcode Register Address R Memory Registers Operand Pointer to Operand

  14. Displacement Addressing • Very powerful addressing mode • Combines capabilities of direct and register indirect addressing ( EA = A + (R) ) • Three common uses for displacement addressing • Relative addressing • Base-register addressing • Indexing

  15. Displacement Addressing (continued) • Relative addressing • Implicitly referred to in PC. If most memory references near to instruction being executed, use of relative addressing saves address bits in instruction • Base-register addressing • Convenient means of implementing segmentation • Indexed addressing • Address field references a main memory address; referenced register contains positive displacement from that address

  17. Stack Addressing • Linear array of locations • Other names: Pushdown list, last-in-first-out queue • Stack is a reverse block of locations • Has a pointer associated with it • Stack locations in memory are register indirect addressed

  19. x86 Addressing Modes (continued) • 8 addressing modes available • Immediate • Register operand • Displacement • Base • Base with displacement • Scaled index with displacement • Base with index and displacement • Base scaled index with displacement • Relative

  20. x86 Addressing Mode Calculation

  21. ARM Addressing Modes • Arm has a rich set of addressing modes. • Typically they are classified with respect to the type of instruction. • Load/Store Addressing • Data Processing Instruction Addressing • Branch Instructions • Load/Store Multiple Addressing

  22. ARM Addressing ModesLoad/Store • Loads and stores Instructions are the only instructions that reference memory, always done indirectly through a base register plus offset. • 3 alternatives are : • Offset • Preindex • Postindex

  23. ARM Data Processing Instruction Addressing & Branch Instructions • Data Processing • Or mixture of register and immediate addressing • Branch • Immediate • Instruction contains 24 bit value • Shifted 2 bits left • On word boundary • Effective range +/-32MB from PC

  24. ARM Load/Store Multiple Addressing • Load/store subset of general-purpose registers • 16-bit instruction field specifies list of registers • Sequential range of memory addresses • Increment after, increment before, decrement after, and decrement before • Base register specifies main memory address • Incrementing or decrementing starts before or after first memory access

  25. Instruction Formats • Layouts of bits in an instruction • Includes opcode • Includes (implicit or explicit) operand(s) • Usually more than one instruction in an instruction set

  26. Instruction Length • Affected by and affects: • Memory size • Memory organization • Bus structure • CPU complexity • CPU speed • Tradeoff between powerful instruction repertoire and saving space

  27. Instruction Length (continued) • Should be equal to or multiple of memory transfer length • Should be multiple of character length (usually 8 bits) • Word length of memory is “natural” unit of organization

  28. Allocation of Bits • Tradeoff between number of opcodes and power of the addressing capability • More opcodes mean more bits in the opcode field • In an instruction format, this reduces number of bits available for addressing • Interrelated factors that determine the use of addressing bits:

  29. Allocation of Bits (continued) • Number of addressing modes: can be implicit, but sometimes one or more mode bits are needed • Number of operands: today’s machines provide for two operands, each requiring its own mode indicator • Register versus memory: one operand address is implicit and consumes no instruction bits, but causes awkward programming and many instructions (a total of 8 to 32 user-visible registers is desirable)

  30. Allocation of Bits 30 • Number of register sets: most machines have one set of 32 general-purpose registers to store data and addresses • Architectures like Pentium have more specialized sets, that by a functional split the instruction uses fewer bits • Address range: related to number of address bits, has severe limitations (which is why direct addressing is rarely used) • With displacement addressing, the range is opened up to the length of the address register

  31. Allocation of Bits 31 • Address granularity: a factor for addresses that reference memory rather than registers • In a system with 16- or 32-bit words, an address can reference a word or a byte at the designer’s choice • Byte addressing is convenient for character manipulation but requires more address bits

  32. PDP-8 Instruction Format

  33. PDP-10 Instruction Format

  34. Variable-Length Instruction • Make it difficult to decouple memory fetches • Fetch part, then decide whether to fetch more, and maybe miss in cache before instruction is complete • Fixed length allows full instruction to be fetched in one access

  35. PDP-11 • Designed to provide powerful and flexible instruction set within constraints of 16-bit minicomputer • Employs set of eight 16-bit general-purpose registers • Two of these registers have additional significance • One is used as a stack pointer for special-purpose stack operations • The other is used as the program counter, which contains the address of the next instruction

  36. PDP-11 (continued) • PDP-11 instructions set and addressing capability are complex • This increases both hardware cost and programming complexity • The advantage is that more efficient or compact programs can be developed

  37. PDP-11 Instruction Format

  38. VAX • Most architectures provide a relatively small number of fixed instruction formats • To avoid problems two criteria were used in designing the VAX • All instructions should have the “natural” number of operands • All operands should have the same generality in specification • VAX instruction begins with a 1-byte opcode, which suffices to handle most VAX instructions

  39. VAX Instruction Examples

  40. VAX Instruction Formats • The remainder of the instructions consists of up to six operand specifiers • Is, at minimum, a 1-byte format in which the leftmost 4 bits are the address mode specifier • The only exception to this rule is the literal mode, which is signaled by the pattern 00 in the leftmost 2 bits, leaving space for a 6-bit literal • Because of this exception, a total of 12 different addressing modes can be specified

  41. VAX Instruction Formats • An example uses an 8-, 16-, or 32-bit displacement. An indexed mode of addressing may be used. In this case, the first byte of the operand specifier consists of the 4-bit addressing mode code of 0100 and a 4-bit index register identifier. • The remainder of operand specifier consists of base address specifier, which may be one or more bytes. • The VAX instruction set provides for a wide variety of operations and addressing modes. This gives the programmer a very powerful and flexible tool for developing programs.
