Introduction This handout is a reference guide for the β, the RISC processor design for 6.004. This is intended to be a complete and thorough specification of the programmer-visible state and instruction set. 2. Machine Model The β is a general-purpose 32-bit architecture: all registers are 32 bits wide and when loaded with an address can point to any location in the byte-addressed memory. When read, register 31 is always 0; when written, the new value is discarded. Program Counter Main Memory PC always a multiple of 4 0x00000000: 3 2 1 0 0x00000004: 32 bits … Registers SUB(R3,R4,R5) 232 bytes R0 ST(R5,1000) R1 … … R30 0xFFFFFFF8: R31 always 0 0xFFFFFFFC: 32 bits 32 bits 3. Instruction Encoding Each β instruction is 32 bits long. All integer manipulation is between registers, with up to two source operands (one may be a sign-extended 16-bit literal), and one destination register. Memory is referenced through load and store instructions that perform no other computation. Conditional branch instructions are separated from comparison instructions: branch instructions test the value of a register that can be the result of a previous compare instruction. -
How Data Hazards Can Be Removed Effectively
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 7, Issue 9, September-2016 116 ISSN 2229-5518 How Data Hazards can be removed effectively Muhammad Zeeshan, Saadia Anayat, Rabia and Nabila Rehman Abstract—For fast Processing of instructions in computer architecture, the most frequently used technique is Pipelining technique, the Pipelining is consider an important implementation technique used in computer hardware for multi-processing of instructions. Although multiple instructions can be executed at the same time with the help of pipelining, but sometimes multi-processing create a critical situation that altered the normal CPU executions in expected way, sometime it may cause processing delay and produce incorrect computational results than expected. This situation is known as hazard. Pipelining processing increase the processing speed of the CPU but these Hazards that accrue due to multi-processing may sometime decrease the CPU processing. Hazards can be needed to handle properly at the beginning otherwise it causes serious damage to pipelining processing or overall performance of computation can be effected. Data hazard is one from three types of pipeline hazards. It may result in Race condition if we ignore a data hazard, so it is essential to resolve data hazards properly. In this paper, we tries to present some ideas to deal with data hazards are presented i.e. introduce idea how data hazards are harmful for processing and what is the cause of data hazards, why data hazard accord, how we remove data hazards effectively. While pipelining is very useful but there are several complications and serious issue that may occurred related to pipelining i.e. -

Computer Organization & Architecture Eie
COMPUTER ORGANIZATION & ARCHITECTURE EIE 411 Course Lecturer: Engr Banji Adedayo. Reg COREN. The characteristics of different computers vary considerably from category to category. Computers for data processing activities have different features than those with scientific features. Even computers configured within the same application area have variations in design. Computer architecture is the science of integrating those components to achieve a level of functionality and performance. It is logical organization or designs of the hardware that make up the computer system. The internal organization of a digital system is defined by the sequence of micro operations it performs on the data stored in its registers. The internal structure of a MICRO-PROCESSOR is called its architecture and includes the number lay out and functionality of registers, memory cell, decoders, controllers and clocks. HISTORY OF COMPUTER HARDWARE The first use of the word ‘Computer’ was recorded in 1613, referring to a person who carried out calculation or computation. A brief History: Computer as we all know 2day had its beginning with 19th century English Mathematics Professor named Chales Babage. He designed the analytical engine and it was this design that the basic frame work of the computer of today are based on. 1st Generation 1937-1946 The first electronic digital computer was built by Dr John V. Atanasoff & Berry Cliford (ABC). In 1943 an electronic computer named colossus was built for military. 1946 – The first general purpose digital computer- the Electronic Numerical Integrator and computer (ENIAC) was built. This computer weighed 30 tons and had 18,000 vacuum tubes which were used for processing. -
Advanced Computer Architecture
Computer Architecture MTIT C 103 MIPS ISA and Processor Compiled By Afaq Alam Khan Introduction The MIPS architecture is one example of a RISC architecture The MIPS architecture is a register architecture. All arithmetic and logical operations involve only registers (or constants that are stored as part of the instructions). The MIPS architecture also includes several simple instructions for loading data from memory into registers and storing data from registers in memory; for this reason, the MIPS architecture is called a load/store architecture Register ◦ MIPS has 32 integer registers ($0, $1, ....... $30, $31) and 32 floating point registers ($f0, $f1, ....... $f30, $f31) ◦ Size of each register is 32 bits The $k0, $K1, $at, and $gp registers are reserved for os, assembler and global data And are not used by the programmer Miscellaneous Registers ◦ $PC: The $pc or program counter register points to the next instruction to be executed and is automatically updated by the CPU after instruction are executed. This register is not typically accessed directly by user programs ◦ $Status: The $status or status register is the processor status register and is updated after each instruction by the CPU. This register is not typically directly accessed by user programs. ◦ $cause: The $cause or exception cause register is used by the CPU in the event of an exception or unexpected interruption in program control flow. Examples of exceptions include division by 0, attempting to access in illegal memory address, or attempting to execute an invalid instruction (e.g., trying to execute a data item instead of code). ◦ $hi / $lo : The $hi and $lo registers are used by some specialized multiply and divide instructions.
