MIPS Instruction Set

Instructions:
• Language of the Machine
• More primitive than higher level languagese.g., no sophisticated control flow
• Very restrictivee.g., MIPS Arithmetic Instructions
• We’ll be working with the MIPS instruction set architecture
– similar to other architectures developed since the 1980's
– used by NEC, Nintendo, Silicon Graphics, Sony
Design goals: maximize performance and minimize cost, reduce design time

MIPS arithmetic
• All instructions have 3 operands
• Operand order is fixed (destination first)
Example:
C code: A = B + C
MIPS code: add $s0, $s1, $s2
(associated with variables by compiler)
41998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
MIPS arithmetic
• Design Principle: simplicity favors regularity. Why?
• Of course this complicates some things...
C code: A = B + C + D;E = F - A;
MIPS code: add $t0, $s1, $s2add $s0, $t0, $s3sub $s4, $s5, $s0
• Operands must be registers, only 32 registers provided
• Design Principle: smaller is faster. Why?

Output
• Arithmetic instructions operands must be registers, — only 32 registers provided
• Compiler associates variables with registers
• What about programs with lots of variables
61998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
Memory Organization
• Viewed as a large, single-dimension array, with an address.
• A memory address is an index into the array
• "Byte addressing" means that the index points to a byte of memory.

Memory Organization
• Bytes are nice, but most data items use larger "words"
• For MIPS, a word is 32 bits or 4 bytes.
• 232 bytes with byte addresses from 0 to 232-1
• 230 words with byte addresses 0, 4, 8, ... 232-4
• Words are alignedi.e., what are the least 2 significant bits of a word address?

Instructions
• Load and store instructions
• Example:
C code: A[8] = h + A[8];
MIPS code: lw $t0, 32($s3)add $t0, $s2, $t0sw $t0, 32($s3)
• Store word has destination last
• Remember arithmetic operands are registers, not memory!
91998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
Our First Example
• Can we figure out the code?
swap(int v[], int k);{ int temp;
temp = v[k]v[k] = v[k+1];v[k+1] = temp;
} swap:muli $2, $5, 4add $2, $4, $2lw $15, 0($2)lw $16, 4($2)sw $16, 0($2)sw $15, 4($2)jr $31
101998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
So far we’ve learned:
• MIPS— loading words but addressing bytes— arithmetic on registers only
• Instruction Meaning
add $s1, $s2, $s3 $s1 = $s2 + $s3sub $s1, $s2, $s3 $s1 = $s2 – $s3lw $s1, 100($s2) $s1 = Memory[$s2+100] sw $s1, 100($s2) Memory[$s2+100] = $s1
111998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• Instructions, like registers and words of data, are also 32 bits long
– Example: add $t0, $s1, $s2– registers have numbers, $t0=9, $s1=17, $s2=18
• Instruction Format:
000000 10001 10010 01000 00000 100000
op rs rt rd shamt funct
• Can you guess what the field names stand for?
Machine Language
121998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• Consider the load-word and store-word instructions,– What would the regularity principle have us do?– New principle: Good design demands a compromise
• Introduce a new type of instruction format– I-type for data transfer instructions– other format was R-type for register
• Example: lw $t0, 32($s2)
35 18 9 32
op rs rt 16 bit number
• Where's the compromise?
Machine Language
131998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• Instructions are bits• Programs are stored in memory
— to be read or written just like data
• Fetch & Execute Cycle– Instructions are fetched and put into a special register– Bits in the register "control" the subsequent actions– Fetch the “next” instruction and continue
Processor Memory
memory for data, programs, compilers, editors, etc.
Stored Program Concept
141998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• Decision making instructions– alter the control flow,– i.e., change the "next" instruction to be executed
• MIPS conditional branch instructions:
bne $t0, $t1, Label beq $t0, $t1, Label
• Example: if (i==j) h = i + j;
bne $s0, $s1, Labeladd $s3, $s0, $s1
Label: ....
Control
151998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• MIPS unconditional branch instructions:j label
• Example:
if (i!=j) beq $s4, $s5, Lab1 h=i+j; add $s3, $s4, $s5else j Lab2 h=i-j; Lab1: sub $s3, $s4, $s5
Lab2: ...
• Can you build a simple for loop?
Control
161998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
So far:
• Instruction Meaning
add $s1,$s2,$s3 $s1 = $s2 + $s3sub $s1,$s2,$s3 $s1 = $s2 – $s3lw $s1,100($s2) $s1 = Memory[$s2+100] sw $s1,100($s2) Memory[$s2+100] = $s1bne $s4,$s5,L Next instr. is at Label if $s4 ° $s5beq $s4,$s5,L Next instr. is at Label if $s4 = $s5j Label Next instr. is at Label
• Formats:

171998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• We have: beq, bne, what about Branch-if-less-than?
• New instruction:if $s1 < $s2 then
$t0 = 1 slt $t0, $s1, $s2 else
$t0 = 0
• Can use this instruction to build "blt $s1, $s2, Label" — can now build general control structures
• Note that the assembler needs a register to do this,— there are policy of use conventions for registers

191998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• Small constants are used quite frequently (50% of operands) e.g., A = A + 5;
B = B + 1;C = C - 18;
• Solutions? Why not?– put 'typical constants' in memory and load them. – create hard-wired registers (like $zero) for constants like one.
• MIPS Instructions:
addi $29, $29, 4slti $8, $18, 10andi $29, $29, 6ori $29, $29, 4
• How do we make this work?

Constants
201998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• We'd like to be able to load a 32 bit constant into a register
• Must use two instructions, new "load upper immediate" instruction
lui $t0, 1010101010101010
• Then must get the lower order bits right, i.e.,
ori $t0, $t0, 1010101010101010
1010101010101010 0000000000000000
0000000000000000 1010101010101010

ori
1010101010101010 0000000000000000
filled with zeros
How about larger constants?
211998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• Assembly provides convenient symbolic representation
– much easier than writing down numbers
– e.g., destination first
• Machine language is the underlying reality
– e.g., destination is no longer first
• Assembly can provide 'pseudoinstructions'
– e.g., “move $t0, $t1” exists only in Assembly
– would be implemented using “add $t0,$t1,$zero”
• When considering performance you should count real instructions
Assembly Language vs. Machine Language
221998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• simple instructions all 32 bits wide
• very structured, no unnecessary baggage
• only three instruction formats
• rely on compiler to achieve performance— what are the compiler's goals?
• help compiler where we can

• Instructions:

• Formats:
• Could specify a register (like lw and sw) and add it to address– use Instruction Address Register (PC = program counter)– most branches are local (principle of locality)
• Jump instructions just use high order bits of PC – address boundaries of 256 MB

MIPS Compare and Branch (Fixup)
• Compare and Branch– BEQ rs, rt, offset if R[rs] == R[rt] then PC-relative
branch– BNE rs, rt, offset <>
• Compare to zero and Branch– BLEZ rs, offset if R[rs] <= 0 then PC-relative branch
– BGTZ rs, offset >– BLT <– BGEZ >=– BLTZAL rs, offset if R[rs] < 0 then branch and link
(into R 31)– BGEZAL >=
• Remaining set of compare and branch take two instructions• Almost all comparisons are against zero

To summarize:MIPS operands
Name Example Comments$s0-$s7, $t0-$t9, $zero, Fast locations for data. In MIPS, data must be in registers to perform
32 registers $a0-$a3, $v0-$v1, $gp, arithmetic. MIPS register $zero always equals 0. Register $at is $fp, $sp, $ra, $at reserved for the assembler to handle large constants.
Memory[0], Accessed only by data transfer instructions. MIPS uses byte addresses, so
230 memory Memory[4], ..., sequential words differ by 4. Memory holds data structures, such as arrays,
words Memory[4294967292] and spilled registers, such as those saved on procedure calls.

• Things we are not going to coversupport for procedureslinkers, loaders, memory layoutstacks, frames, recursionmanipulating strings and pointersinterrupts and exceptionssystem calls and conventions
• Some of these we'll talk about later
• We've focused on architectural issues
– basics of MIPS assembly language and machine code
– we’ll build a processor to execute these instructions.
Other Issues
391998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• Design alternative:
– provide more powerful operations
– goal is to reduce number of instructions executed
– danger is a slower cycle time and/or a higher CPI
• Sometimes referred to as “RISC vs. CISC”
– virtually all new instruction sets since 1982 have been RISC
– VAX: minimize code size, make assembly language easy
instructions from 1 to 54 bytes long!
• We’ll look at PowerPC and 80x86
Alternative Architectures
401998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
PowerPC
• Indexed addressing– example: lw $t1,$a0+$s3 #$t1=Memory[$a0+$s3]– What do we have to do in MIPS?
• Update addressing– update a register as part of load (for marching through arrays)– example: lwu $t0,4($s3) #$t0=Memory[$s3+4];$s3=$s3+4– What do we have to do in MIPS?
• Others:– load multiple/store multiple– a special counter register “bc Loop”
decrement counter, if not 0 goto loop
411998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
80x86
• 1978: The Intel 8086 is announced (16 bit architecture)
• 1980: The 8087 floating point coprocessor is added
• 1982: The 80286 increases address space to 24 bits, +instructions
• 1985: The 80386 extends to 32 bits, new addressing modes
• 1989-1995: The 80486, Pentium, Pentium Pro add a few instructions(mostly designed for higher performance)
• 1997: MMX is added
“This history illustrates the impact of the “golden handcuffs” of compatibility
“adding new features as someone might add clothing to a packed bag”
“an architecture that is difficult to explain and impossible to love”
421998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
A dominant architecture: 80x86
• See your textbook for a more detailed description• Complexity:
– Instructions from 1 to 17 bytes long– one operand must act as both a source and destination– one operand can come from memory– complex addressing modes
e.g., “base or scaled index with 8 or 32 bit displacement”• Saving grace:
– the most frequently used instructions are not too difficult to build– compilers avoid the portions of the architecture that are slow
“what the 80x86 lacks in style is made up in quantity, making it beautiful from the right perspective”
431998 Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and UCB
• Instruction complexity is only one variable
– lower instruction count vs. higher CPI / lower clock rate
• Design Principles:
– simplicity favors regularity
– smaller is faster
– good design demands compromise
– make the common case fast
• Instruction set architecture
– a very important abstraction indeed!
