Topics to cover in Chapter 2 MIPS operations and operands MIPS registers Memory view Instruction encoding Arithmetic operations Logic operations Memory transfer operations
MIPS Operations/Operands “Operation” (instruction) “Operand” MIPS operations Arithmetic operations (integer/floating-point) (add, sub,…) Logical operations (and, or,…) Shift operations (shift a certain number of bits to the left or right) Compare operations (do something if one operand is less than another,…) Load/stores to transfer data from/to memory Branch/jump operations System control operations/coprocessor operations MIPS operands General-purpose registers Fixed registers, e.g., HI/LO registers Memory location Immediate value
MIPS Arithmetic rd rs rt <op> <rdestination> <rsource1> <rsource2> All arithmetic instructions have 3 operands Operand order is fixed: destination first 32 registers (page 2 of green card) Examples add $t0, $s0, $s2 # $t0 = $s0 + $s2 sub $s0, $t0, $t1 # $s0 = $t0 – $t1

General-Purpose Registers GPR: all can be used as operands in instructions Still, conventions and limitations exist to keep GPRs from being used arbitrarily r0, termed $zero, always has a value “0” r31, termed $ra (return address), is reserved for subroutine call/return Etc. (we’ll see otherc conventsion/limitations later) Register usage and related software conventions are summarized in “application binary interface” (ABI), which is important when writing system software such as an assembler and a compiler
Instruction Encoding Instructions are encoded in binary numbers Assembler translates assembly programs into binary numbers Machine decodes binary numbers to figure out what the instruction is MIPS has “fixed” 32-bit instruction encoding MIPS has several instruction formats R-format: arithmetic instructions I-format: transfer/branch/immediate format J-format: jump instruction format (FI/FR-format: floating-point instruction format)(later chapter)
MIPS Instruction Formats Name Fields Comments 6 bits 5 bits All MIPS instructions 32 bits R-format op rs rt rd shamt funct Arithmetic/logic instruction format I-format address/immediate Transfer, branch, immediate format J-format target address Jump instruction format
R-Format Instructions Define “fields” of the following number of bits each: 6 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 = 32 6 5 For simplicity, each field has a name: opcode rs rt rd funct shamt For shift instructions: “shift amount”
R-Format Example MIPS Instruction: add $8,$9,$10 Decimal number per field representation: Binary number per field representation: hex representation: decimal representation: On Green Card: Format in column 1, opcodes in column 3 (Let’s look and then come back)

R-Format Instructions (REMINDER) Define “fields” of the following number of bits each: 6 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 = 32 6 5 For simplicity, each field has a name: opcode rs rt rd funct shamt

Andi and Ori andi I R[rt] & ZeroExtImm (3) lui I R[rt] = {immediate,16’b0} (3) ZeroExtImm = {16{1’b0},immediate} In Verilog: 4'b1001 // a 4-bit binary number 16'h704f // a 16-bit hex number 1b‘0 // a 1-bit binary number .text lui $t1,0x7F40 addi $t2,$t1,0x777 andi $t3,$t2,0x5555 In class
Long Immediates (review) Sometimes we need a long immediate, e.g., 32 bits MIPS requires that we use two instructions lui $t0, 0xaa55 Then we get lower-order 16 bits ori $t0, $t0, 0xcc33 1010101001010101 0000000000000000 $t0 1010101001010101 1100110000110011 $t0
Loading a memory address .data places values in memory starting at 0x10010000. So, 32 bits are needed to specify a memory address. Format I has a 16 bit field and Format J has a 26 bit field…neither is long enough. la $t0,0x1001008 is a pseudo instruction – not implemented in the hardware lui $1,4097 la $t0,0x10010008 ori $8,$1,8 lw $t1,0($t0)
