  • Introduction to Microcoded Implementation of a CPU Architecture

    Introduction to Microcoded Implementation of a CPU Architecture

    Introduction to Microcoded Implementation of a CPU Architecture N.S. Matloff, revised by D. Franklin January 30, 1999, revised March 2004 1 Microcoding Throughout the years, Microcoding has changed dramatically. The debate over simple computers vs complex computers once raged within the architecture community. In the end, the most popular microcoded computers survived for three reasons - marketshare, technological improvements, and the embracing of the principles used in simple computers. So the two eventually merged into one. To truly understand microcoding, one must understand why they were built, what they are, why they survived, and, finally, what they look like today. 1.1 Motivation Strictly speaking, the term architecture for a CPU refers only to \what the assembly language programmer" sees|the instruction set, addressing modes, and register set. For a given target architecture, i.e. the architecture we wish to build, various implementations are possible. We could have many different internal designs of the CPU chip, all of which produced the same effect, namely the same instruction set, addressing modes, etc. The different internal designs could then all be produced for the different models of that CPU, as in the familiar Intel case. The different models would have different speed capabilities, and probably different prices to the consumer. But the same machine languge program, say a .EXE file in the Intel/DOS case, would run on any CPU in the family. When desigining an instruction set architecture, there is a tradeoff between software and hardware. If you provide very few instructions, it takes more instructions to perform the same task, but the hardware can be very simple.
