PART 6: (1/2) Enhancing CPU Performance CHAPTER 16: MICROPROGRAMMED CONTROL 1

Control Unit Organization 2

Micro-programmed Control Use sequences of instructions (see earlier notes) to control complex operations Called micro-programming or firmware 3

Implementation (1) All the control unit does is generate a set of control signals Each control signal is on or off Represent each control signal by a bit Have a control word for each micro-operation Have a sequence of control words for each machine code instruction Add an address to specify the next micro- instruction, depending on conditions 4

Implementation (2) Today’s large microprocessor – Many instructions and associated register-level hardware – Many control points to be manipulated This results in control memory that – Contains a large number of words co-responding to the number of instructions to be executed – Has a wide word width Due to the large number of control points to be manipulated 5

Micro-program Word Length Based on 3 factors – Maximum number of simultaneous micro- operations supported – The way control information is represented or encoded – The way in which the next micro-instruction address is specified 6

Micro-instruction Types Each micro-instruction specifies single (or few) micro-operations to be performed – (vertical micro-programming) Each micro-instruction specifies many different micro-operations to be performed in parallel – (horizontal micro-programming) 7

Vertical Micro-programming Width is narrow n control signals encoded into log 2 n bits Limited ability to express parallelism Considerable encoding of control information requires external memory word decoder to identify the exact control line being manipulated 8

Horizontal Micro-programming Wide memory word High degree of parallel operations possible Little encoding of control information 9

Typical Microinstruction Formats 10

Horizontal versus Vertical 11

Compromise Divide control signals into disjoint groups Implement each group as separate field in memory word Supports reasonable levels of parallelism without too much complexity 12

Organization of Control Memory 13

Control Unit 14

Control Unit Function Sequence login unit issues read command Word specified in control address register is read into control buffer register Control buffer register contents generates control signals and next address information Sequence login loads new address into control buffer register based on next address information from control buffer register and ALU flags 15

Next Address Decision Depending on ALU flags and control buffer register – Get next instruction Add 1 to control address register – Jump to new routine based on jump microinstruction Load address field of control buffer register into control address register – Jump to machine instruction routine Load control address register based on opcode in IR 16

Functioning of Micro programmed Control Unit 17

Wilkes Control 1951 Matrix partially filled with diodes During cycle, one row activated – Generates signals where diode present – First part of row generates control – Second generates address for next cycle 18

Wilkes's Microprogrammed Control Unit 19

Advantages and Disadvantages of Microprogramming Simplifies design of control unit – Cheaper – Less error-prone Slower 20

Tasks Done By Microprogrammed Control Unit Microinstruction sequencing Microinstruction execution Must consider both together 21

Design Considerations Size of microinstructions Address generation time – Determined by instruction register Once per cycle, after instruction is fetched – Next sequential address Common in most designed – Branches Both conditional and unconditional 22

Sequencing Techniques Based on current microinstruction, condition flags, contents of IR, control memory address must be generated Based on format of address information – Two address fields – Single address field – Variable format 23

Address Generation ExplicitImplicit Two-fieldMapping Unconditional BranchAddition Conditional branchResidual control

Execution The cycle is the basic event Each cycle is made up of two events – Fetch Determined by generation of microinstruction address – Execute 28

Execute Effect is to generate control signals Some control points internal to processor Rest go to external control bus or other interface 29

Control Unit Organization 30

A Taxonomy of Microinstructions Vertical/horizontal Packed/unpacked Hard/soft microprogramming Direct/indirect encoding 31

Improvements over Wilkes Wilkes had each bit directly produced a control signal or directly produced one bit of next address More complex address sequencing schemes, using fewer microinstruction bits, are possible Require more complex sequencing logic module Control word bits can be saved by encoding and subsequently decoding control information 32

How to Encode K different internal and external control signals Wilkes’s: – K bits dedicated – 2K control signals during any instruction cycle Not all used – Two sources cannot be gated to same destination – Register cannot be source and destination – Only one pattern presented to ALU at a time – Only one pattern presented to external control bus at a time Require Q < 2K which can be encoded with log2Q < K bits Not done – As difficult to program as pure decoded (Wilkes) scheme – Requires complex slow control logic module Compromises – More bits than necessary used – Some combinations that are physically allowable are not possible to encode 33

Specific Encoding Techniques Microinstruction organized as set of fields Each field contains code Activates one or more control signals Organize format into independent fields – Field depicts set of actions (pattern of control signals) – Actions from different fields can occur simultaneously Alternative actions that can be specified by a field are mutually exclusive – Only one action specified for field could occur at a time 34
