Patterson, UCB Logical Operations Fig. 2.8, p.87 ( 頁 87) Instructions for bitwise manipulation Operation C Java MIPS Shift left << << sll Shift right >> >>> srl Bitwise AND & & and, andi Bitwise OR or, ori Bitwise NOT ~ ~ nor 2.6 Logical Operations Useful for extracting and inserting groups of bits in a word 位元運算子 關係運算子 && 2

4 NOT Operations Useful to invert bits in a word Change 0 to 1, and 1 to 0 MIPS has NOR 3-operand instruction a NOR b == NOT ( a OR b ) not $t0, $t1? nor $t0, $t1, $zero $t1 X Register 0: always read as zero $t nor $t0, $t1, $t1 10 Variety of Logic Gates 11

5 Logical Operations (cont.) Fig. 2.1, p.64 ( 頁 62) $zero Not Shifts Instructions for Making Decisions Decision making A computer vs. a simple calculator: Decision making instructions alter the control flow, i.e., change the "next" instruction to be executed MIPS conditional branch instructions (I-format): beq rs, rt, L1 if (rs == rt) branch to instruction labeled L1; bne rs, rt, L1 if (rs!= rt) branch to instruction labeled L1; j L1 (J-format) unconditional jump to instruction labeled L1? 13

Assembler calculates addresses Fig Supporting Procedures in Computer Hardware MIPS procedure call instruction (jump-and-link): jal ProcedureAddress #jump and link Saves PC+4 in register $ra to have a link to the next instruction for the procedure return PC = Program Counter = Instruction Address Register = IAR Source: 27

X I op rs rt 16 bit address/constant Machine format (J-format): op 26 bit address Supporting Procedures in Computer Hardware MIPS procedure call instruction (jump-and-link): jal ProcedureAddress #jump and link Saves PC+4 in register $ra to have a link to the next instruction for the procedure return Machine format (J-format): op 26 bit address Then can do procedure return with a jump register instruction jr $ra #return Instruction format (R-format): op rs funct

8 ? 30 Supporting Procedures (cont.) Convention in allocating its registers for procedure calling: $a0 - $a3: four argument registers $v0 - $v1: two value registers in which to return values $ra: one return address register (PC + 4) PC = Program Counter $v0 =? = Instruction Address Register = IAR Caller vs. Callee $a0 = n Procedure 33

9 Aside: Spilling Registers What if the callee needs more registers? What if the procedure is recursive? uses a stack a last-in-first-out queue in memory for passing additional values or saving (recursive) return address(es) high addr Push Pop Push top of stack $sp low addr Pop 34 Aside: Spilling Registers What if the callee needs more registers? What if the procedure is recursive? uses a stack a last-in-first-out queue in memory for passing additional values or saving (recursive) return address(es) high addr One of the general registers, $sp, is used to address the stack (which grows from high address to low address) add data onto the stack push Push top of stack $sp $sp = $sp 4 data on stack at new $sp low addr Pop remove data from the stack pop data from stack at $sp $sp = $sp

10 Stack Fig p.100( 頁 100) 38 Allocating Space for New Data on the Heap stack pointer? Heap: data structure, LV global pointer Constants Static v./array MIPS machine code program counter Fig The MIPS memory allocation for program and data p.120 ( 頁 117) 43

11 e.g., A = A + 5; B = B + 1; Small constants are used often in typical codec = C - 18; 2.9 MIPS Immediate Instructions Possible approaches? put typical constants in memory and load them create hard-wired registers (like $zero) for constants like 1 have special instructions that contain constants! addi $sp, $sp, 4 #$sp = $sp + 4 Machine format (I format): op rs rt 16 bit immediate I format The constant is kept inside the instruction itself! Immediate format limits values to the range to Design Principle: Make the common case fast. 52 How About Larger Constants? p.107( 頁 108) We'd also like to be able to load a 32 bit constant into a register, for this we must use two instructions 數大便是美! 徐志摩 西湖記 addi $sp, $sp, 4? 數大 便是美, 碧綠的山坡前幾千隻綿羊, 挨成一片的雪絨, 是美 op rs rt 16 bit immediate I format 32 bits = 53

12 How About Larger Constants? p.107( 頁 108) We'd also like to be able to load a 32 bit constant into a register, for this we must use two instructions a new "load upper immediate" instruction lui $t0, Then must get the lower order bits right, use ori $t0, $t0, 大數 Addresses in Branches Instructions: bne $t4,$t5,label #Next instruction is at Label if $t4 $t5 beq $t4,$t5,label #Next instruction is at Label if $t4=$t5 Formats: I 64KB op rs rt 16 bit address Could specify a register (like lw and sw) and add it to address 256KB Word addressing offset (= byte addressing 18 bits) use Instruction Address Register (PC = program counter) most branches are local (principle of locality) 4GB 56

13 MIPS Control Flow Instructions MIPS conditional branch instructions: bne $s0, $s1, Lbl #go to Lbl if $s0 $s1 beq $s0, $s1, Lbl #go to Lbl if $s0=$s1 Instruction Format (I-format): op rs rt 16 bit offset PC How is the branch destination address specified? PC-relative addressing instruction address is the sum of the PC and a 16-bit constant contained within the instruction op rs rt offset sll 2 bits Program Counter (PC) Memory branch destination instruction 57 Specifying Branch Destinations op rs rt 16 bit offset 64KB Fetch PC = PC+4 sll 2 bits 256KB Exec Decode PC = PC+4 4GB 58

14 Other Control Flow Instructions MIPS also has an unconditional branch instruction or jump instruction: j label # go to label jal proc # call proc Instruction Format (J-format): op 26-bit address 4GB from the low order 26 bits of the jump instruction 26 4 PC 64MB MB Fetch new instruction Jump instructions just use high order bits of PC address boundaries of 256 MB 60 Branching Far Away What if the branch destination is further away than can be captured in 16 bits? The assembler comes to the rescue it inserts an unconditional jump to the branch target and inverts the condition beq $s0, $s1, L1 becomes > 16bits L2: bne $s0, $s1, L2 j L1 62

15 MIPS Operand Addressing Modes Register addressing operand is in a register op rs rt rd funct Register Base (displacement) addressing operand is at the memory location whose address is the sum of a register and a 16-bit constant contained within the instruction base register Register relative (indirect) with Pseudo-direct with 0($a0) word operand op rs rt offset Memory word or byte operand addr($zero) Immediate addressing operand is a 16-bit constant contained within the instruction op rs rt operand p.112 ( 頁 113) 63 MIPS Instruction Addressing Modes PC-relative addressing instruction address is the sum of the PC and a 16-bit constant contained within the instruction sll 2 bits op rs rt offset Program Counter (PC) Memory branch destination instruction Pseudo-direct addressing instruction address is the 26-bit constant contained within the instruction concatenated with the upper 4 bits of the PC op 4 bits jump address Program Counter (PC) sll 2 bits Memory jump destination instruction p.112 ( 頁 113) 64
