21CSS201T COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE UNIT-2 Topic : Basic Structure of a Computer 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 1 Basic Structure of Computers Computer Architecture in general covers three aspects of computer design namely: Computer Hardware, Instruction set Architecture and Computer Organization. Computer hardware consists of electronic circuits, displays, magnetic and optical storage media and communication facilities. Instruction set Architecture is programmer visible machine interface such as instruction set, registers, memory organization and exception handling. Two main approaches are mainly CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) and RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) Computer Organization includes the high level aspects of a design, such as memory system, the bus structure and the design of the internal CPU. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 2 Computer Types Computer is a fast electronic calculating machine which accepts digital input, processes it according to the internally stored instructions (Programs) and produces the result on the output device. The internal operation of the computer can be as depicted in the figure below: 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 3 Computer Types – contd. The computers can be classified into various categoriesas given below: Micro Computer Laptop Computer Work Station Super Computer Main Frame Hand Held Multi core 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 4 Computer Types – contd. Micro Computer: A personal computer; designed to meet the computer needs of an individual. Provides access to a wide variety of computing applications, such as word processing, photo editing, e-mail, and internet. Laptop Computer: A portable, compact computer that can run on power supply or a battery unit. All components are integrated as one compact unit. It is generally more expensive than a comparable desktop. It is also called a Notebook. Work Station: Powerful desktop computer designed for specialized tasks. Generally used for tasks that requires a lot of processing speed. Can also be an ordinary personal computer attached to a LAN (local area network). 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 5 Computer Types – contd. Super Computer: A computer that is considered to be fastest in the world. Used to execute tasks that would take lot of time for other computers. For Ex: Modeling weather systems, genome sequence, etc (Refer site: http://www.top500.org/) Main Frame: Large expensive computer capable of simultaneously processing data for hundreds or thousands of users. Used to store, manage, and process large amounts of data that need to be reliable, secure, and centralized. Hand Held: It is also called a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). A computer that fits into a pocket, runs on batteries, and is used while holding the unit in your hand. Typically used as an appointment book, address book, calculator and notepad. Multi Core: Have Multiple Cores – parallel computing platforms. Many Cores or computing elements in a single chip. Typical Examples: Sony Play station, Core 2 Duo, i3, i7 etc. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 6 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 7 FUNCTIONAL UNITS OF COMPUTER Input Unit Output Unit Central processing Unit (ALU and Control Units) Memory Bus Structure 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 8 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 9 What is a computer? a computer is a sophisticated electronic calculating machine that: – Accepts input information, – Processes the information according to a list of internally stored instructions and – Produces the resulting output information. Functions performed by a computer are: – Accepting information to be processed as input. – Storing a list of instructions to process the information. – Processing the information according to the list of instructions. – Providing the results of the processing as output. What are the functional units of a computer? 6 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 10 Functions ALL computer functions are: – Data PROCESSING – Data STORAGE Data = – Data MOVEMENT Information – CONTROL Coordinates How Information is Used 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 11 Functions of a computer The operations performed by a computer using the functional units can be summarized as follows: It accepts information (program and data) through input unit and transfers it to the memory. Information stored in the memory is fetched, under program control, into an arithmetic and logic unit for processing. Processed information leaves the computer through an output unit. The control unit controls all activities taking place inside a computer. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 12 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 13 Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) Operations are executed in the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU). – Arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction. – Logic operations such as comparison of numbers. In order to execute an instruction, operands need to be brought into the ALU from the memory. – Operands are stored in general purpose registers available in the ALU. – Access times of general purpose registers are faster than the cache. Results of the operations are stored back in the memory or retained in the processor for immediate use. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization 14 and Architecture 14 Output unit Computers represent information in a specific binary form. Output units: - Interface with output devices. - Accept processed results provided by the computer in specific binary form. - Convert the information in binary form to a form understood by an output device. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization 15 and Architecture 15 Control unit Operation of a computer can be summarized as: – Accepts information from the input units (Input unit). – Stores the information (Memory). – Processes the information (ALU). – Provides processed results through the output units (Output unit). Operations of Input unit, Memory, ALU and Output unit are coordinated by Control unit. Instructions control “what” operations take place (e.g. data transfer, processing). Control unit generates timing signals which determines “when” a particular operation takes place. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization 16 and Architecture 16 CPU (Central processing Unit) The “brain” of the machine Responsible for carrying out computational task Contains ALU, CU, Registers ALU Performs Arithmetic and logical operations CU Provides control signals in accordance with some timings which in turn controls the execution process Register Stores data and result and speeds up the operation 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 17 CONTROL UNIT Control unit works with a reference signal called T1 Processor clock T2 Processor divides the operations into basic steps Each basic step is R1 R2 executed in one clock cycle R2 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 18 Example Add R1, R2 T1 Enable R1 T2 Enable R2 T3 Enable ALU for addition operation T4 Enable out put of ALU to store result of the operation 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 19 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 20 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 21 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 22 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 23 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 24 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 25 Registers Registers are fast stand-alone storage locations that hold data temporarily. Multiple registers are needed to facilitate the operation of the CPU. Some of these registers are Two registers-MAR (Memory Address Register) and MDR (Memory Data Register) : To handle the data transfer between main memory and processor. MAR-Holds addresses, MDR-Holds data Instruction register (IR) : Hold the Instructions that is currently being executed Program counter (PC) : Points to the next instructions that is to be fetched from memory General-purpose Registers: are used for holding data, intermediate results of operations. They are also known as scratch-pad registers. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 26 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 27 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 28 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 29 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 30 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 31 Bus Structures 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 32 Connecting CPU and memory The CPU and memory are normally connected by three groups of connections, each called a bus: data bus, address bus and control bus Connecting CPU and memory using three buses 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 33 BUS STRUCTURE Group of wires which carries information form CPU to peripherals or vice – versa Single bus structure: Common bus used to communicate between peripherals and microprocessor INPUT MEMORY PROCESSOR OUTPUT Single Bus Structure 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 34 Drawbacks of the Single Bus Structure The devices connected to a bus vary widely in their speed of operation. Some devices are relatively slow, such as printer and keyboard. Some devices are considerably fast, such as optical disks. Memory and processor units operate are the fastest parts of a computer. Efficient transfer mechanism thus is needed to cope with this problem. A common approach is to include buffer registers with the devices to hold the information during transfers. An another approach is to use two-bus structure and an additional transfer mechanism 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 35 TWO BUS STRUCTURE: One bus can be used to fetch instruction other can be used to fetch data, required for execution. The bus is said to perform two distinct functions The main advantage of this structure is good operating speed but on account of more cost. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 36 MULTI BUS STRUCTURE To improve performance multi bus structure can be used.

Data is usually accessed in n-bit groups. n is called word length. i th word The memory of a computer can be schematically represented as a collection of words as shown in last word Figure 1. Figure 1 Main Memory words. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 42 MEMORY LOCATIONS AND ADDRESSES Main memory is the second major subsystem in a computer. It consists of a collection of storage locations, each with a unique identifier, called an address. Data is transferred to and from memory in groups of bits called words. A word can be a group of 8 bits, 16 bits, 32 bits or 64 bits (and growing). If the word is 8 bits, it is referred to as a byte. The term “byte” is so common in computer science that sometimes a 16-bit word is referred to as a 2-byte word, or a 32-bit word is referred to as a 4-byte word. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 43 Main memory 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 44 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 45 Address space To access a word in memory requires an identifier. Although programmers use a name to identify a word (or a collection of words), at the hardware level each word is identified by an address. The total number of uniquely identifiable locations in memory is called the address space. For example, a memory with 64 kilobytes (16 address line required) and a word size of 1 byte has an address space that ranges from 0 to 65,535. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 46 Memory addresses are defined using unsigned binary integers. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 47 Example 1 A computer has 32 MB (megabytes) of memory. How many bits are needed to address any single byte in memory? Solution The memory address space is 32 MB, or 225 (25 × 220). This means that we need log2 225, or 25 bits, to address each byte. Example 2 A computer has 128 MB of memory. Each word in this computer is eight bytes. How many bits are needed to address any single word in memory? Solution The memory address space is 128 MB, which means 227. However, each word is eight (23) bytes, which means that we have 224 words. This means that we need log2 224, or 24 bits, to address each word. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 48 MEMORY OPERATIONS Today, general-purpose computers use a set of instructions called a program to process data. A computer executes the program to create output data from input data Both program instructions and data operands are stored in memory Two basic operations requires in memory access Load operation (Read or Fetch)-Contents of specified memory location are read by processor Store operation (Write)- Data from the processor is stored in specified memory location 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 49 Assignment of Byte Address Big-endian and little-endian are terms that describe the order in which a sequence of bytes are stored in computer memory. Big-endian is an order in which the "bigend" (most significant value in the sequence) is stored first (at the lowest storage address). Little-endian is an order in which the “Little end" (least significant value in the sequence) is stored first (at the lowest storage address). 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 50 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 51 Assignment of byte addresses Little Endian (e.g., in DEC, Intel) » low order byte stored at lowest address » byte0 byte1 byte2 byte3 Eg: 46,78,96,54 (32 bit data) H BYTE L BYTE 54 8000 96 8001 78 8002 46 8003 8004 | 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 52 Big Endian Big Endian (e.g., in IBM, Motorolla, Sun, HP) » high order byte stored at lowest address » byte3 byte2 byte1 byte0 Programmers/protocols should be careful when transferring binary data between Big Endian and Little Endian machines 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 53 Big-Endian and Little-Endian Assignments Big-Endian: lower byte addresses are used for the most significant bytes of the word Little-Endian: opposite ordering. lower byte addresses are used for the less significant bytes of the word W ord address Byte address Byte address 0 0 1 2 3 0 3 2 1 0 4 4 5 6 7 4 7 6 5 4 k k k k k k k k k k 2 - 4 2 - 4 2 - 3 2 - 2 2 - 1 2 - 4 2 - 1 2 - 2 2 - 3 2 - 4 24-09-2023 (a) Big-endian assignment (b) Little-endian assignment 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 54 Byte and word addressing. In case of 16 bit data, aligned words begin at byte addresses of 0,2,4,…………………………. In case of 32 bit data, aligned words begin at byte address of 0,4,8,…………………………. In case of 64 bit data, aligned words begin at byte addresses of 0,8,16,……………………….. In some cases words can start at an arbitrary byte address also then, we say that word locations are unaligned 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 55 Instruction and instruction sequencing 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 56 Instruction: is command to the microprocessor to perform a given task on specified data. Instruction Set: The entire group of these instructions are called instruction set. instruction sequencing : The order in which the instructions in a program are carried out. 4 TYPES OF OPERATION:- A computer must have instructions capable of performing 4 types of operation Data transfer between memory and processor register Arithmetic and logic operation Program sequencing and control I/O transfer 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 57 Register transfer notation (RTN) Transfer between processor registers & memory, between processor register & I/O devices Memory locations, registers and I/O register names are identified by a symbolic name in uppercase alphabets LOC,PLACE,MEM are the address of memory location R1 , R2,… are processor registers DATA_IN, DATA_OUT are I/O registers Contents of location is indicated by using square brackets [ ] RHS of RTN always denotes a values, and is called Source LHS of RTN always denotes a symbolic name where value is to be stored and is called destination Source contents are not modified 24-09-2023 Destination contents are overwritten 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 58 Examples of RTN statements R2 [LOCN] R4 [R3] +[R2] 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 59 Data transfer Instructions They are also called copy instructions. Some instructions in 8086: MOV -Copy from the source to the destination LDA - Load the accumulator STA - Store the accumulator PUSH - Push the register pair onto the stack POP - Pop off stack to the register pair 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 60 Data Manipulation Instructions To perform the operations by the ALU Three categories: Arithmetic Instructions Logical and bit manipulation instructions Shift instructions 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 61 Arithmetic Instructions Used to perform arithmetic operations Some instruction in 8086 INC Increment the data by 1 DEC Decreases data by 1 ADD perform sum of data ADC Add with carry bit. MUL perform multiplication 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 62 Logical and bit manipulation instructions Used to perform logical operations Some instructions are: AND bitwise AND operation OR bitwise AND operation NOT invert each bit of a byte or word XOR Exclusive-OR operation over each bit 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 63 Shift instructions used for shifting or rotating the contents of the register Some instructions are: SHR shift bits towards the right and put zero(S) in MSBs ROL rotate bits towards the left, i.e. MSB to LSB and to Carry Flag [CF] RCL rotate bits towards the left, i.e. MSB to CF and CF to LSB. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 64 Instruction Formats (Types of instruction based on the address field) A instruction in computer comprises of groups called fields. These field contains different information The most common fields are: Operation field : specifies the operation to be performed like addition. Address field : contain the location of operand Mode field : specifies how to find the operand 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 65 A instruction is of various length depending upon the number of addresses it contain. On the basis of number of address, instruction are classified as: Zero Address Instructions One Address Instructions Two Address Instructions Three Address Instructions 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 66 Zero Address Instructions Used in stack based computers which do not use address field in instruction Location of all operands are defined implicitly Operands are stored in a structure called pushdown stack Operation 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 67 If processor supports ALU operations one data in memory and other in register then the instruction sequence is MOVE D, Ri ADD E, Ri MOVE Ri, F If processor supports ALU operations only with registers then one has to follow the instruction sequence given below LOAD D, Ri LOAD E, Rj ADD Ri, Rj MOVE Rj, F 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 68 Example: Evaluate (A+B) (C+D) Using Zero-Address instruction 1. PUSH A ; TOS ← A 2. PUSH B ; TOS ← B 3. ADD ; TOS ← (A + B) 4. PUSH C ; TOS ← C 5. PUSH D ; TOS ← D 6. ADD ; TOS ← (C + D) 7. MUL ; TOS ← (C+D)(A+B) 8. POP X ; M[X] ← TOS 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 69 One address Instruction Syntax- Operation source/destination In this type either a source or destination operand is mentioned in the instruction Other operand is implied to be a processor register called Accumulator Eg: ADD B (general) Load D; ACC [memlocation _D] ADD E; ACC (ACC) +(E) STORE F; memlocation_ F (ACC ) 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 70 One address Instruction This use a implied ACCUMULATOR register for data manipulation. Operation Destination One operand is in accumulator and other is in register or memory location. Example: Evaluate (A+B) (C+D) Using One-Address Instruction 1. LOAD A ; AC ← M[A] 2. ADD B ; AC ← AC + M[B] 3. STORE T ; M[T] ← AC 4. LOAD C ; AC ← M[C] 5. ADD D ; AC ← AC + M[D] 6. MUL T ; AC ← AC M[T] 7. STORE X ; M[X] ← AC 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 71 Two Address Instruction Syntax : Operation source, destination Eg: MOVE E,F MOVE D,F ADD D,F OR ADD E,F Perform ADD A,B,C using 2 instructions MOVE B,C ADD A,C Disadvantage: Single instruction is not sufficient to perform the entire operation. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 72 Two Address Instruction This is common in commercial computers. Operation Source, Destination Here two address can be specified in the instruction. Example: Evaluate (A+B) (C+D) Using Two address Instruction: 1. MOV R1,A ; R1=M[A] 2. ADD R1,B ;R1=R1+M[B] 3. MOV R2,C ;R2=M[C] 4. ADD R2,D ;R2=R2+M[D] 5. MUL R1,R2 ; R1=R1*R2 24-09-2023 6. MOV X,R1 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture ; M[X]=R1 73 Three Address Instruction Syntax: Operation source 1, source 2, destination Eg: ADD D,E,F where D,E,F are memory location Advantage: Single instruction can perform the complete operation Disadvantage : Instruction code will be too large to fit in one word location in memory 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 74 Three Address Instruction This has three address field to specify a register or a memory location. Program created are much short in size creation of program much easier does not mean that program will run much faster Example: Evaluate (A+B) (C+D) Using Three address Instruction 1. ADD R1,A,B ;R1=M[A]+M[B] 2. ADD R2,C,D ;R2=M[C]+M[D] 3. MUL X,R1,R2 ;M[X]=R1*R2 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 75 Instruction Cycle the basic operational process of a computer. also known as fetch-decode-execute cycle This process is repeated continuously by CPU from boot up to shut down of computer. steps that occur during an instruction cycle: 1. Fetch the Instruction 2. Decode the Instruction 3. Read the Effective Address 4. Execute the Instruction 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 76 1. Fetch the Instruction The instruction is fetched from memory address that is stored in PC(Program Counter) and stored in the (instruction register) IR. At the end of the fetch operation, PC is incremented by 1 and it then points to the next instruction to be executed. 2. Decode the Instruction The instruction in the IR is decoded(Interpreted). 3. Read the Effective Address If the instruction has an indirect address, the effective address is read from the memory. Otherwise operands are directly read in case of immediate operand instruction. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 77 4. Execute the Instruction The Control Unit passes the information in the form of control signals to the functional unit of CPU. The result generated is stored in main memory or sent to an output device. The cycle is then repeated by fetching the next instruction. Thus in this way the instruction cycle is repeated continuously. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 78 Instruction execution and straight line sequencing Instruction execution needs the following steps, which are PC (program counter) register of the processor gives the address of the instruction which needs to be fetched from the memory. If the instruction is fetched then, the instruction opcode is decoded. On decoding, the processor identifies the number of operands. If there is any operand to be fetched from the memory, then that operand address is calculated. Operands are fetched from the memory. If there is more than one operand, then the operand fetching process may be repeated (i.e. address calculation and fetching operands). After this, the data operation is performed on the operands, and a result is generated. If the result has to be stored in a register, the instructions end here. If the destination is memory, then first the destination address has to be calculated. Then the result is then stored in the memory. If there are multiple results which need to be stored inside the memory, then this process may repeat (i.e. destination address calculation and store result). Now the current instructions have been executed. Side by side, the PC is incremented to calculate the address of the next instruction. The above instruction cycle then repeats for further instructions. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 79 Straight line sequencing Straight line sequencing means the instruction of a program is executed in a sequential manner(i.e. every time PC is incremented by a fixed offset). And no branch address is loaded on the PC. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 80 Example 1: programs and data are stored in the same memory, i.e. von Neumann architecture. First instruction of a program is stored at address i. PC gives address i and instruction stored at that address i is fetched from the memory and then decoded and then operand A is fetched from the memory and stored in a temporary register and then the instruction is executed(i.e. content of address A is copied into processor register R0). the PC gets incremented by 4(i.e. it contains the address of the next instruction) because the instruction and memory segment is of 4 bytes. So the instruction at address i is executed. So every time, the PC is incremented by 4. Therefore, the program is executing in a sequential manner. And this process is called 24-09-2023 straight line sequencing. 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 81 The addresses of the memory locations containing the n numbers are represented as NUM1,NUM2…..NUMn(i.e. NUM1 address includes first number). The first number is stored into processor register R0. And every other number is added to register R0. Finally, when the program ends(i.e. n numbers are added, the result is placed in memory location SUM 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 82 The second way is to use a loop to add n number. But here straight line sequencing is not used because every time loop iteration ends, PC has to load the branch address and program execution starts from that address. Here the location N stores the value of n. Processor register R1 is used as a counter to determine the number of times the loop gets executed. The contents of the location N are moved into R1 at the start of program execution. After that, register R0 is cleared. The address LOOP is reloaded again and again until R1 becomes 0. Every time a number is added, then the R1 value is decremented. When R1 becomes 0, we come out of the loop and the result which is stored at R1 is copied into memory location SUM. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 83 Condition Codes The processor keeps track of information about the results of various operations for use by subsequent conditional branch instructions N – Negative 1 if results are Negative 0 if results are Positive Z – Zero 1 if results are Zero 0 if results are Non zero V – Overflow 1 if arithmetic overflow occurs 0 non overflow occurs C – Carry 1 if carry and from MSB bit 0 if there is no carry from MSB bit 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 84 Addressing Modes 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 85 Addressing Modes Different ways in which the location of the operand is specified in an instruction is referred as addressing modes.

Types of Addressing Modes Immediate Addressing Direct Addressing Indirect Addressing Register Addressing Register Indirect Addressing Relative Addressing Indexed Addressing Auto Increment Auto Decrement 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 86 Immediate Addressing Operand is given explicitly in the instruction e.g. ADD 5 Add 5 to contents of accumulator 5 is operand No memory reference to fetch data Fast Limited range MOV AL,25H ; Immediate addressing AL=25 MOV AX,2345H ; AX=2345 AX=> AH=23 AL=45 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 87 Direct Addressing Address field contains address of operand Effective address (EA) = address field (A) e.g. ADD A Add contents of cell A to accumulator Look in memory at address A for operand Single memory reference to access data No additional calculations to work out effective address Limited address space MOV AL,DATA1 ; Direct Addressing AL=23 MOV AX,DATA2 ; AX=1234 MOV DATA3,AL ; DATA3=23 MOV DATA4,AX ; DATA4=1234 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 88 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 89 Indirect Addressing Memory cell pointed to by address field contains the address of (pointer to) the operand Two references to memory are required to fetch the operand. Effective Address = [A] Look in A, find address (A) and look there for operand e.g. ADD (A) Add contents of cell pointed to by contents of A to the accumulator 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 90 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 91 Register Direct Addressing In this addressing mode, The operand is contained in a register set. The address field of the instruction refers to a CPU register that contains the operand. No memory access Very fast execution Very limited address space Limited number of registers Very small address field needed Shorter instructions Faster instruction fetch 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 92 Register Direct Addressing Eg: ADD R will increment the value stored in the accumulator by the content of register R. AC ← AC + [R] This addressing mode is similar to direct addressing mode. The only difference is address field of the instruction refers to a CPU register instead of main memory. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 93 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 94 Register Indirect Addressing The address field of the instruction refers to a CPU register that contains the effective address of the operand. Only one reference to memory is required to fetch the operand Eg: ADD R will increment the value stored in the accumulator by the content of memory location specified in register R. AC ← AC + [[R]] 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 95 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 96 Indexed Addressing In this addressing mode, Effective address of the operand is obtained by adding the content of index register with the address part of the instruction. Effective Address = Content of Index Register + Address part of the instruction 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 97 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 98 Relative Addressing A version of displacement addressing In this addressing mode, Effective address of the operand is obtained by adding the content of program counter with the address part of the instruction. Effective Address = Content of Program Counter + Address part of the instruction 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 99 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 100 Auto Increment Mode A special case of Register Indirect Addressing Mode where Effective Address of the Operand = Content of Register In this addressing mode, After accessing the operand, the content of the register is automatically incremented by step size ‘d’. Step size ‘d’ depends on the size of operand accessed. Only one reference to memory is required to fetch the operand. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 101 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 102 Auto Decrement Mode A special case of Register Indirect Addressing Mode where Effective Address of the Operand = Content of Register – Step Size In this addressing mode First, the content of the register is decremented by step size ‘d’. Step size ‘d’ depends on the size of operand accessed. After decrementing, the operand is read. Only one reference to memory is required to fetch the operand. 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 103 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 104 Case Study: 8086 Introduction to Microprocessor 24-09-2023 21CSS201T - Computer Organization and Architecture 105 Microprocessors Microprocessor : is a CPU on a single chip.
