Arithmetic, Logic, Shift Microoperations- Arithmetic Logic Shift Unit -Example Architectures: MIPS, Power PC, RISC, CISC Central Processing Unit The part of the computer that performs the bulk of data-processing operations is called the central processing unit CPU. The CPU is made up of three major parts, as shown in Fig.1 Fig 1. Major components of CPU. The register set stores intermediate data used during the execution of the instructions. The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) performs the required microoperations for executing the instructions. The control unit supervises the transfer of information among the registers and instructs the ALU as to which operation to perform. General Register Organization When a large number of registers are included in the CPU, it is most efficient to connect them through a common bus system. The registers communicate with each other not only for direct data transfers, but also while performing various microoperations. Hence it is necessary to provide a common unit that can perform all the arithmetic, logic, and shift microoperations in the processor. A bus organization for seven CPU registers is shown in Fig.2. The output of each register is connected to two multiplexers (MUX) to form the two buses A and B. The selection lines in each multiplexer select one register or the input data for the particular bus. The A and B buses form the inputs to a common arithmetic logic unit (ALU). -

LECTURE NOTE 5: the MEMORY MANAGEMENT REAL MODE Allows the Microprocessor to Address Only the First 1Mbyte of Memory Even If Its Pentium II Microprocessor
LECTURE NOTE 5: THE MEMORY MANAGEMENT REAL MODE Allows the microprocessor to address only the first 1Mbyte of memory even if its Pentium II microprocessor. The first 1Mbyte of memory is called either the real mode or conventional memory system. The DOS operating system requires the microprocessor to operate in this mode. It allows application software. Segment and Offset Through the combination of these two, a memory location is accessed in the real mode. All real mode memory address must consist of a segment address plus an offset address. Segment Address Defines the beginning address of any 64k-byte memory segment. Offset Address Sometimes called displacement or relative. Selects any location within the 64k-byte memory segment. It is the distance above the start of the segment. Note: Each segment register is internally appended with a 0H on its right end. The segment address can begin only at a 16-byte boundary, which is called paragraph. Once the beginning address in known, an ending address is known, by adding FFFFH. The code segment register defines the start of the code segment and the instruction pointer to locate the next instruction within the code segment. This combination (CS:IP or CS:EIP) locates the next instruction executed by the microprocessor. Stack data are referenced through the stack segment at the memory location addressed by either the stack pointer (SP/ESP) or the base pointer (BP/EBP). These combinations are referred to as SS:SP (SS:ESP) or SS:BP (SS:EBP). Addressing Modes 1. Register Addressing Mode transfer a copy of a byte or word from the source register or memory location to the destination register or memory location. -
The Pentium Processor
Chapter 7 The Pentium Processor 7–1 The main purpose of registers is to provide a scratch pad so that the processor can keep data on a temporary basis. For example, the processor may keep the procedure return address, stack pointer, instruction pointer, and so on. Registers are also used to keep the data handy so that it can avoid costly memory accesses. Keeping frequently accessed data in registers is a common compiler optimization technique. 7–2 Pentium supports the following three address spaces: 1. Linear address space 2. Physical address space 3. I/O address space (from discussion in Section 1.7) 7–3 In segmented memory organization, memory is partitioned into segments, where each segment is a small part of the memory. In the real mode, each segment of memory is a linear contiguous sequence of up to 64 KB. In the protected mode, it can be up to 4 GB. Pentium supports segmentation largely to provide backward compatibility to 8086. Note that 8086 is a 16-bit processor with 20 address lines. This mismatch between the processor’s 16-bit registers and 20-bit addresses is solved by using the segmented memory architecture. This segmented architecture has been carried over to Pentium. However, in the protected mode, it is possible to consider the entire memory as a single segment; thus, segmentation is completely turned off. 7–4 In the real mode, a segment is limited to 64 KB due to the fact that 16 bits are used to indicate the offset value into a segment. This magic number 16 is due to the 16-bit registers used 8086 processor. -

Sep. 2015 Abstract There are many applications of microprocessors in embedded applications, where power efficiency becomes a critical requirement, e.g. wearable or mobile devices in healthcare, space instrumentation and handheld devices. One of the methods of achieving low power operation is by simplifying the device architecture. RISC/CISC processors consume considerable power because of their complexity, which is due to their multiplexer system connecting the register file to the func- tional units and their instruction pipeline system. On the other hand, the Stack machines are comparatively less complex due to their implied addressing to the top two registers of the stack and smaller operation codes. This makes the instruction and the address decoder circuit simple by eliminating the multiplex switches for read and write ports of the register file. -

Microprocessor Architecture
MICROPROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE UOP S.E.COMP (SEM-I) OPERATING IN REAL MODE Prof.P.C.Patil Department of Computer Engg Matoshri College of Engg.Nasik [email protected]. Introduction 2 Introduction . The 80386 microprocessor can operate basically in either Real Mode or Protected Mode. When 80386 is reset or powered up it is initialized in Real Mode. The 80386 maintains the compatibility of the object code with 8086 and 80286 running in real mode. In this mode, the 80386 supports same architecture as the 8086, but it can access the 32-bit register set of 80386DX. In real mode, it is also possible to use addressing modes with the 32-bit override instruction prefixes. 3 Real Mode Programming Model 4 Real Mode Programming Model . The programming model makes it easier to understand the microprocessor in a programming environment. The real mode programming model gives the programming environment for 80386DX in real mode. It shows only those parts of the microprocessor which the programmer can use such as various registers within the microprocessor. 5 6 Real Mode Programming Model . In the diagram, only the shaded portion is a part of real mode. It consists of eight 16-bit registers (IP, CS, DS, SS, ES, FS, GS and Flag register) and eight 32-bit registers (EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX, ESP, EBP, ESI, EDI). In Real mode 80386DX can access the Protection Enable (PE) bit from CR0 which is used to enter into the protected mode. 7 Real Mode Programming Model . 80386DX in real mode is a 8086 with extended registers and two additional data segment registers such as FS and GS. -
X86-64 Machine-Level Programming∗
x86-64 Machine-Level Programming∗ Randal E. Bryant David R. O'Hallaron September 9, 2005 Intel’s IA32 instruction set architecture (ISA), colloquially known as “x86”, is the dominant instruction format for the world’s computers. IA32 is the platform of choice for most Windows and Linux machines. The ISA we use today was defined in 1985 with the introduction of the i386 microprocessor, extending the 16-bit instruction set defined by the original 8086 to 32 bits. Even though subsequent processor generations have introduced new instruction types and formats, many compilers, including GCC, have avoided using these features in the interest of maintaining backward compatibility. A shift is underway to a 64-bit version of the Intel instruction set. Originally developed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and named x86-64, it is now supported by high end processors from AMD (who now call it AMD64) and by Intel, who refer to it as EM64T. Most people still refer to it as “x86-64,” and we follow this convention. Newer versions of Linux and GCC support this extension. In making this switch, the developers of GCC saw an opportunity to also make use of some of the instruction-set features that had been added in more recent generations of IA32 processors. This combination of new hardware and revised compiler makes x86-64 code substantially different in form and in performance than IA32 code. In creating the 64-bit extension, the AMD engineers also adopted some of the features found in reduced-instruction set computers (RISC) [7] that made them the favored targets for optimizing compilers. -
