Real World Architectures
an Intel architecture, is a CISC machine and MIPS, which is a RISC machine.
CISC is an acronym for complex instruction set computer.
RISC stands for reduced instruction set computer
The classic Intel architecture, the 8086, was born in It is a CISC architecture.
It was adopted by IBM for its famed PC, which was released in 1981.
The 8086 operated on 16-bit data words and supported 20-bit memory addresses.
Later, to lower costs, the 8-bit 8088 was introduced. Like the 8086, it used 20-bit memory addresses.

3. The 8086 had no built in floating-point processing.

The 8086 had four 16-bit general-purpose registers that could be accessed by the half-word.
It also had a flags register, an instruction register, and a stack accessed through the values in two other registers, the base pointer and the stack pointer.
The 8086 had no built in floating-point processing.
In 1980, Intel released the 8087 numeric coprocessor, but few users elected to install them because of their cost.
In 1985, Intel introduced the 32-bit
It also had no built-in floating-point unit.
The 80486, introduced in 1989, was an that had built-in floating-point processing and cache memory.
The and offered downward compatibility with the 8086 and 8088.
Software written for the smaller word systems was directed to use the lower 16 bits of the 32-bit registers.

4. In 1986 the first MIPS CPU was announced.

Currently, Intel’s most advanced 32-bit microprocessor is the Pentium 4.
It can run as fast as 3.8 GHz. This clock rate is nearly 800 times faster than the 4.77 MHz of the 8086.
Speed enhancing features include multilevel cache and instruction pipelining.
Intel, along with many others, is marrying many of the ideas of RISC architectures with microprocessors that are largely CISC.
The MIPS family of CPUs has been one of the most successful in its class.
In 1986 the first MIPS CPU was announced.
It had a 32-bit word size and could address 4GB of memory.
Over the years, MIPS processors have been used in general purpose computers as well as in games.
The MIPS architecture now offers 32- and 64-bit versions.

5. MIPS was one of the first RISC microprocessors.
Dr.Faisal Alzyoud
5/9/2018
MIPS was one of the first RISC microprocessors.
The original MIPS architecture had only 55 different instructions, as compared with the 8086 which had over 100.
MIPS was designed with performance in mind: It is a load/store architecture, meaning that only the load and store instructions can access memory.
The large number of registers in the MIPS architecture keeps bus traffic to a minimum.

CPU Basics
The computer’s CPU fetches, decodes, and executes program instructions.
The two principal parts of the CPU are the datapath and the control unit.
The datapath consists of an arithmetic-logic unit and storage units (registers) that are interconnected by a data bus that is also connected to main memory.
Various CPU components perform sequenced operations according to signals provided by its control unit.

9. Datapath: brawn of the processor Control: brain of the processor

Control: brain of the processor

10. BUSES Registers hold data that can be readily accessed by the CPU.
Dr.Faisal Alzyoud

Registers hold data that can be readily accessed by the CPU.
They can be implemented using D flip-flops.
A 32-bit register requires 32 D flip-flops.
The arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) carries out logical and arithmetic operations as directed by the control unit.
The control unit determines which actions to carry out according to the values in a program counter register and a status register.
BUSES
Buses consist of data lines, control lines, and address lines.
While the data lines convey bits from one device to another, control lines determine the direction of data flow, and when each device can access the bus.
Address lines determine the location of the source or destination of the data

11. Dr.Faisal Alzyoud

Buses

12. The Bus
In a master-slave configuration, where more than one device can be the bus master, concurrent bus master requests must be arbitrated.
Four categories of bus arbitration are:
Daisy chain: Permissions are passed from the highest-priority device to the lowest.
Centralized parallel: Each device is directly connected to an arbitration circuit.
Distributed using self-detection: Devices decide which gets the bus among themselves.
Distributed using collision-detection: Any device can try to use the bus. If its data collides with the data of another device, it tries again.

Clocks
Every computer contains at least one clock that synchronizes the activities of its components.
A fixed number of clock cycles are required to carry out each data movement or computational operation.
The clock frequency, measured in megahertz or gigahertz, determines the speed with which all operations are carried out.
Clock cycle time is the reciprocal of clock frequency.
An 800 MHz clock has a cycle time of 1.25 ns.

14. Clocks Clock speed should not be confused with CPU performance.

Clocks
Clock speed should not be confused with CPU performance.
The CPU time required to run a program is given by the general performance equation:
We see that we can improve CPU throughput when we reduce the number of instructions in a program, reduce the number of cycles per instruction, or reduce the number of nanoseconds per clock cycle.

15. The Input/Output Subsystem

The Input/Output Subsystem
A computer communicates with the outside world through its input/output (I/O) subsystem.
I/O devices connect to the CPU through various interfaces.
I/O can be memory-mapped-- where the I/O device behaves like main memory from the CPU’s point of view.
Or I/O can be instruction-based, where the CPU has a specialized I/O instruction set.

Memory Organization
Computer memory consists of a linear array of addressable storage cells that are similar to registers.
Memory can be byte-addressable, or word-addressable, where a word typically consists of two or more bytes.
Memory is constructed of RAM chips, often referred to in terms of length  width.
If the memory word size of the machine is 16 bits, then a 4M  16 RAM chip gives us 4 megabytes of 16-bit memory locations.

17. Dr.Faisal Alzyoud
5/9/2018
Memory organization
How does the computer access a memory location corresponds to a particular address?
We observe that 4M can be expressed as 2 2  2 20 = 2 22 words.
The memory locations for this memory are numbered 0 through
Thus, the memory bus of this system requires at least 22 address lines.
The address lines “count” from 0 to in binary. Each line is either “on” or “off” indicating the location of the desired memory element.

18. Dr.Faisal Alzyoud

Memory organization
Physical memory usually consists of more than one RAM chip.
Access is more efficient when memory is organized into banks of chips with the addresses interleaved across the chips
With low-order interleaving, the low order bits of the address specify which memory bank contains the address of interest.
Accordingly, in high-order interleaving, the high order address bits specify the memory bank.

Interrupts
The normal execution of a program is altered when an event of higher-priority occurs. The CPU is alerted to such an event through an interrupt.
Interrupts can be triggered by I/O requests, arithmetic errors (such as division by zero), or when an invalid instruction is encountered.
Each interrupt is associated with a procedure that directs the actions of the CPU when an interrupt occurs.
Nonmaskable interrupts are high-priority interrupts that cannot be ignored.

Instruction Processing
For general-purpose systems, it is common to disable all interrupts during the time in which an interrupt is being processed.
Typically, this is achieved by setting a bit in the flags register.
Interrupts that are ignored in this case are called maskable.
Nonmaskable interrupts are those interrupts that must be processed in order to keep the system in a stable condition.
Interrupts are very useful in processing I/O.

Assemblers
Assemblers translate instructions that are comprehensible to humans into the machine language that is comprehensible to computers
We note the distinction between an assembler and a compiler: In assembly language, there is a one-to-one correspondence between a mnemonic instruction and its machine code. With compilers, this is not usually the case.
Assemblers create an object program file from mnemonic source code in two passes.
During the first pass, the assembler assembles as much of the program is it can, while it builds a symbol table that contains memory references for all symbols in the program.
During the second pass, the instructions are completed using the values from the symbol table.

24. Assembler example Consider the following example:

Decoding
A computer’s control unit keeps things synchronized, making sure that bits flow to the correct components as the components are needed.
There are two general ways in which a control unit can be implemented: hardwired control and microprogrammed control.
With microprogrammed control, a small program is placed into read-only memory in the microcontroller.
Hardwired controllers implement this program using digital logic components.

27. Decoding We note that the signal pattern

just described is the same whether
our machine used hardwired or
microprogrammed control.
In microprogrammed control,
the bit pattern of an instruction
feeds directly into the combinational
logic within the control unit.
