1、Computer System and Application,Chapter 6: Instruction System of CPU,Concepts of Instruction System,Instruction system: machine instruction set Interface between hardware and software Determine CPUs structure and function Determine structure and function of programming language The same part viewed
2、by architect and programmer A large part of CPU design task is implementing instruction set Different CPU architecture, different instruction set RISC vs CISC Contents of designing instruction set Instruction format design Instruction function design Data type support Addressing mode design,Componen
3、ts of An Instruction,Instruction set The collection of different instructions that the processor can execute Tenshundreds of instructions An instruction includes Opcodes Addressing mode flag Addresses: source operands and result operands Main memory or virtual memory Register I/O devices Source oper
4、and may be immediate operand Address of next instruction: explicit or implicit Machine instruction is presented as a sequence of 0,1 codes Many formats exist in instruction set,4,Opcode Optimization Design,Frequently used opcode representations Fixed-length opcode Huffman encoding Extended Huffman e
5、ncoding Fixed-length opcode One byte length Simple hardware, but total opcode is too long Used in RISC CPU Huffman encoding Variable opcode length Shortest average opcode length Extended Huffman encoding Combining fixed-length and Huffman encoding,5,Huffman Encoding,Principle Frequently events are r
6、epresented by short code Average code length is shortest Theory basis is entropy coding Entropy Shortest average encoding length pi: usage probability of an opcode in program : amount of information of the opcode Redundant amount of information H: average code length of an encoding mode,6,Example fo
7、r Huffman Encoding,Suppose a CPU has 7 opcodes and occurring probability in program is shown as the table. Problems: If fixed-length opcode is used,how many bits are the opcode? How many bits are the shortest average opcode(entropy)? How much is redundant amount of information for fixed-length opcod
8、e?,7,Solutions,7 opcodes, so in fixed-length mode, 3bits are needed Entropy Redundant amount of information for fixed-length opcode 35% is redundant information,8,Opcode Encoding Method Based on Huffman,Encoding using Huffman tree,also called minimum probability merging Step1: construct Huffman tree
9、 Step2:encoding branches Huffman tree constructing procedure in above example Arrange the probabilities of 7 opcodes high-down Merging probable nodes in binary tree from right to left Encode each branch using 0 or 1 Left branch is 0 and right branch is 1 0,1 sequence from the root to a leaf node is
10、the encoding of the opcode See next slide,9,Huffman Tree,10,Average Code Length of Huffman Encoding,Average code length pi: usage probability of ith opcode in program li: length of ith opcode According to values of the fig. Average code length: Amount of redundant information: Huffman encoding appro
