1 Chapter 3 Arithmetic for Computers 1

2 Arithmetic Where we've been: Abstractions: Instruction Set Architecture Assembly Language and Machine Language What's up ahead: Implementing the Architecture operation a 32 ALU result 32 b 32 2

3 Numbers Bits are just bits (no inherent meaning) conventions define relationship between bits and numbers Binary numbers (base 2) decimal: n -1 Of course it gets more complicated: numbers are finite (overflow) fractions and real numbers negative numbers e.g., no MIPS subi instruction; addi can add a negative number) How do we represent negative numbers? i.e., which bit patterns will represent which numbers? 3

4 Possible Representations Sign Magnitude One's Complement Two's Complement 000 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -1 Issues: balance, number of zeros, ease of operations 4

5 MIPS 32 bit signed numbers: two = 0 ten two = + 1 ten two = + 2 ten two = + 2,147,483,646 ten two = + 2,147,483,647 ten two = 2,147,483,648 ten two = 2,147,483,647 ten two = 2,147,483,646 ten two = 3 ten two = 2 ten two = 1 ten maxint minint 5

6 Two's Complement Operations Negating a two's complement number: invert all bits and add 1 remember: negate and invert are quite different! Converting n bit numbers into numbers with more than n bits: MIPS 16 bit immediate gets converted to 32 bits for arithmetic copy the most significant bit (the sign bit) into the other bits > > "sign extension" (lbu vs. lb) 6

7 2 s complement 16-bit binary two Negate number (invert & add 1) two 1 two two 7

8 2 s complement two two 1 two two 8

9 Sign extension 16-bit two 32-bit two 16-bit two 32-bit two 9

10 Two s complement Number binary 2 s complement

11 Addition & Subtraction Just like in grade school (carry/borrow 1s) Two's complement operations easy subtraction using addition of negative numbers Overflow (result too large for finite computer word): e.g., adding two n-bit numbers does not yield an n-bit number note that overflow term is somewhat misleading, 1000 it does not mean a carry overflowed 11

12 Detecting Overflow No overflow when adding a positive and a negative number No overflow when signs are the same for subtraction Overflow occurs when the value affects the sign: overflow when adding two positives yields a negative or, adding two negatives gives a positive or, subtract a negative from a positive and get a negative or, subtract a positive from a negative and get a positive 12

13 Overflow Operation A B Result indicating overflow A + B 0 0 < 0 A + B < 0 < 0 0 A - B 0 < 0 < 0 A - B <

14 Effects of Overflow An exception (interrupt) occurs Control jumps to predefined address for exception Interrupted address is saved for possible resumption Details based on software system / language example: flight control vs. homework assignment Don't always want to detect overflow new MIPS instructions: addu, addiu, subu note: addiu still sign-extends! note: sltu, sltiu for unsigned comparisons 14

15 Review: Boolean Algebra & Gates Problem: Consider a logic function with three inputs: A, B, and C. Output D is true if at least one input is true Output E is true if exactly two inputs are true Output F is true only if all three inputs are true Show the truth table for these three functions. Show the Boolean equations for these three functions. Show an implementation consisting of inverters, AND, and OR gates. 15

16 An ALU (arithmetic logic unit) Let's build an ALU to support the andi and ori instructions we'll just build a 1 bit ALU, and use 32 of them operation op a b res a b result Possible Implementation (sum-of-products): 16

17 Review: The Multiplexor Selects one of the inputs to be the output, based on a control input S A B 0 1 C note: we call this a 2-input mux even though it has 3 inputs! Lets build our ALU using a MUX: 17

18 Different Implementations Not easy to decide the best way to build something Don't want too many inputs to a single gate Dont want to have to go through too many gates for our purposes, ease of comprehension is important Let's look at a 1-bit ALU for addition: Carryin (Cin) a b Sum Carryout (Cout) c out = a b + a c in + b c in sum = a xor b xor c in How could we build a 1-bit ALU for add, and, and or? How could we build a 32-bit ALU? 18

19 Building a 32 bit ALU Operation Operation a0 b0 ALU0 CarryOut Result0 a 0 a1 b1 ALU1 CarryOut Result1 1 Result a2 b2 ALU2 CarryOut Result2 b 2 CarryOut a31 b31 ALU31 Result31 19

20 What about subtraction (a b)? Two's complement approach: just negate b and add. How do we negate? A very clever solution: Binvert Operation a 0 1 Result b CarryOut 20

21 Tailoring the ALU to the MIPS Need to support the set-on-less-than instruction (slt) remember: slt is an arithmetic instruction produces a 1 if rs < rt and 0 otherwise use subtraction: (a-b) < 0 implies a < b Need to support test for equality (beq $t5, $t6, $t7) use subtraction: (a-b) = 0 implies a = b 21

22 Supporting slt Binvert Operation Can we figure out the idea? a 0 1 b 0 2 Result 1 Less 3 a. CarryOut Binvert Operation a 0 1 b 0 2 Result 1 Less 3 Set b. Overflow detection Overflow

23 Binvert Operation a0 b0 ALU0 Less CarryOut Result0 a1 b1 0 ALU1 Less CarryOut Result1 a2 b2 0 ALU2 Less CarryOut Result2 a31 b31 0 ALU31 Less Set Result31 Overflow 23

24 Test for equality Notice control lines: Bnegate Operation 000 = and 001 = or 010 = add 110 = subtract 111 = slt a0 b0 a1 b1 0 ALU0 Less CarryOut ALU1 Less CarryOut Result0 Result1 Zero a2 b2 0 ALU2 Less CarryOut Result2 Note: zero is a 1 when the result is zero! a31 b31 0 ALU31 Less Result31 Set Overflow 24

25 Conclusion We can build an ALU to support the MIPS instruction set key idea: use multiplexor to select the output we want we can efficiently perform subtraction using two s complement we can replicate a 1-bit ALU to produce a 32-bit ALU Important points about hardware all of the gates are always working the speed of a gate is affected by the number of inputs to the gate the speed of a circuit is affected by the number of gates in series (on the critical path or the deepest level of logic ) Our primary focus: comprehension, however, Clever changes to organization can improve performance (similar to using better algorithms in software) we ll look at two examples for addition and multiplication 25

26 Problem: ripple carry adder is slow Is a 32-bit ALU as fast as a 1-bit ALU? Is there more than one way to do addition? two extremes: ripple carry and sum-of-products Can you see the ripple? How could you get rid of it? c 1 = b 0 c 0 + a 0 c 0 + a 0 b 0 c 2 = b 1 c 1 + a 1 c 1 + a 1 b 1 c 2 = c 3 = b 2 c 2 + a 2 c 2 + a 2 b 2 c 3 = c 4 = b 3 c 3 + a 3 c 3 + a 3 b 3 c 4 = Not feasible! Why? c 2 = b 1 (b 0 c 0 +a 0 c 0 +a 0 b 0 ) + a 1 (b 0 c 0 +a 0 c 0 +a 0 b 0 ) + a 1 b 1 26

27 Carry-lookahead adder An approach in-between our two extremes Motivation: If we didn't know the value of carry-in, what could we do? When would we always generate a carry? g i = a i b i When would we propagate the carry? p i = a i + b i Did we get rid of the ripple? c 1 = g 0 + p 0 c 0 c 2 = g 1 + p 1 c 1 c 2 = c 3 = g 2 + p 2 c 2 c 3 = c 4 = g 3 + p 3 c 3 c 4 = Feasible! Why? 27

28 Use principle to build bigger adders a0 b0 a1 b1 a2 b2 a3 b3 ALU0 P0 G0 C1 pi gi ci + 1 Result0--3 Carry-lookahead unit a4 b4 a5 b5 a6 b6 a7 b7 a8 b8 a9 b9 a10 b10 a11 b11 ALU1 P1 G1 ALU2 P2 G2 C2 C3 pi + 1 gi + 1 ci + 2 pi + 2 gi + 2 ci + 3 Result4--7 Result8--11 Can t build a 16 bit adder this way... (too big) Could use ripple carry of 4-bit CLA adders Better: use the CLA principle again! a12 b12 a13 b13 a14 b14 a15 b15 ALU3 P3 G3 C4 pi + 3 gi + 3 ci + 4 Result CarryOut 28

29 Multiplication More complicated than addition accomplished via shifting and addition More time and more area Let's look at 3 versions based on grade school algorithm 0010 (multiplicand) x_1011 (multiplier) Negative numbers: convert and multiply there are better techniques, we won t look at them 29
