Josh PottsECE291 Outline Hash functions Interrupt driven I/O Interrupt service routines (ISR)

Josh PottsECE291 Hash Functions Consider using a table lookup when the input (I) can span a large range of values but is sparsely populated. Example: Count incoming packets from each of 100 hosts scattered throughout the internet using the 32-bit IP source address. A Table-Lookup would require 4 billion table entries, most of which would be empty.

Josh PottsECE291 Hash Functions (cont.) A Hash Function, H(x), can be used to re-map the four-byte (W.X.Y.Z) IP address to smaller (8-bit) value. H(W.X.Y.Z)=W xor X xor Y xor Z H( ) = 17 H( ) = 190 H( ) = 14 Hash Table IndexIP address 0….. …… … … …..

Josh PottsECE291 Hash Functions Issues Collisions, can occur when two inputs map to the same output. Collision Resolution: Linear Probing Use next-available location in the hash table Add an extra identifier (a tag) to distinguish different entries in the table, example (simplest algorithm) to retrieve data: tag = IP_addressTag i = h(IP_address); if (ht[i].tag == IP_addressTag) then else

Josh PottsECE291 Interrupt Vectors The term interrupt is used in three different contexts: Software interrupts (e.g., 21h) –provide a mechanism whereby the programmer can use the int instruction to access blocks of code that already exist and are resident in machine memory Hardware interrupts –triggered by hardware events external to the microprocessor, rather than resulting from an int or any other instruction –e.g., request for service by external devices such as disk drives Exceptions –hardware origin within the microprocessor itself –e.g., anomalous event within a program, such as an attempt to divide by zero

Josh PottsECE291 Interrupt Driven I/O Consider an I/O operation, where the CPU constantly tests a port (e.g., keyboard) to see if data is available –CPU polls the port if it has data available or can accept data Polled I/O is inherently inefficient Wastes CPU cycles until event occurs Analogy: Checking your watch, standing at the door... Solution is to provide an interrupt driven I/O Perform regular work until an event occurs Process event when it happens, then resume normal activities Analogy: Alarm clock, doorbell, telephone ring...

Josh PottsECE291 Interrupting an 80x86 Microprocessor Interrupt signal (pin) on the 80x86 CPU 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller (typically built into motherboard chipset) ISA/PCI System Bus (pins defined for IRQ signals) Peripheral Devices (example) IRQ 0: Timer (triggered 18.2/second) IRQ 1: Keyboard (keypress) IRQ 2: PIC IRQ 3: Serial Ports (Modem, network) IRQ 5: Audio card IRQ 6: Floppy (read/write completed) IRQ 8: Real-time Clock IRQ 12: Mouse IRQ 13: Math Co-Processor IRQ 14: IDE Hard-Drive Controller

Josh PottsECE291 Servicing an Interrupt Complete current instruction Preserve current context –PUSHF Store flags to stack –Clear Trap Flag (TF) & IF (Interrupt Flag) –Store return address to stack PUSH CS, PUSH IP Identify Source –Read 8259 PIC status register –Determine which device (N) triggered interrupt Activate Interrupt Service Routine –Use N to index vector table –Read CS/IP from table –Jump to instruction Execute Interrupt Service Routine –usually the handler immediately re- enables the interrupt system (to allow high priority interrupts to occur) –process the interrupt Indicate End-Of-Interrupt (EOI) to 8259 PIC MOV AL,20h OUT 20h,AL ;transfer s the contents of AL to I/O port 20h Return (IRET) –POP IP (Far Return) –POP CS –POPF (Restore Flags)

Josh PottsECE291 Interrupt Service Routines (ISR) Reasons for writing your own ISR –to supersede the default ISR for internal hardware interrupts (e.g., division by zero) –to chain your own ISR onto the default system ISR for a hardware device, so that both the system’s actions and your own will occur on an interrupt (e.g., clock -tick interrupt) –to service interrupts not supported by the default device drivers –to provide communication between a program that terminates and stays resident and other application software

Josh PottsECE291 Interrupt Service Routines (ISR) DOS facilities to enable ISR Restrictions –Currently running program should have no idea that it was interrupted. –ISR should never make DOS call during the actual interrupt processing DOS calls are non-reentrant,i.e., expect single execution FunctionAction INT 21h Function 25hSet Interrupt vector INT 21h Function 35hGet Interrupt vector INT 21h Function 31hTerminate and stay resident

Josh PottsECE291 Interrupt Service Routines ISRs are meant to be short. –keep the time that interrupts are disable and the total length of the service routine to an absolute minimum –remember after interrupts are re-enabled (STI instruction), interrupts of the same or lower priority remain blocked if the interrupt was received through the 8259A PIC ISRs can be interrupted. ISRs must be in memory – Option 1: Redefine interrupt only while your program is running the default ISR will be restored when the executing program terminates – Option 2: Use DOS Terminate-and-Stay-Resident (TSR) command the ISR stays permanently in machine memory

Josh PottsECE291 Installing ISR Let N==interrupt to service Read current function pointer in vector table –Use DOS function 35h –Set AL=N –Call DOS Function AH=35h, INT 21h –Returns: ES:BX = Address stored at vector Set new function pointer in vector table –Use DOS function 25h –Set DS:DX=New Routine –Set AL=N –DOS Function AH=25h, INT 21H
