INTRODUCTION
Every different processor has its own design
(different registers, buses, micro-operations, machine instructions, etc)
However, to understand how processors work, use a simplified processor model This is similar to what real processors were like ~25 years ago

INSTRUCTIONS
Program
A sequence of (machine) instructions
(Machine) Instruction
A group of bits that tell the computer to perform a specific operation (a sequence of micro-operation)
The instructions of a program, along with any needed data are stored in memory The CPU reads the next instruction from memory
Computer Organization
Instruction codes
INSTRUCTION FORMAT
A computer instruction is often divided into two parts
An opcode (Operation Code) that specifies the operation for that instruction An address that specifies the registers and/or locations in memory to use for that operation
In the Basic Computer, since the memory contains 4096 (= 212) words, we needs 12 bit to specify which memory address this instruction will use In the Basic Computer, bit 15 of the instruction specifies the addressing mode (0: direct addressing, 1: indirect addressing) Since the memory words, and hence the instructions, are 16 bits long, that leaves 3 bits for the instructions opcode

ADDRESSING MODES
The address field of an instruction can represent either
Direct address: the address in memory of the data to use (the address of the operand), or Indirect address: the address in memory of the address in memory of the data to use

PROCESSOR REGISTERS
A processor has many registers to hold instructions, addresses, data, etc The processor has a register, the Program Counter (PC) that holds the memory address of the next instruction
Since the memory in the Basic Computer only has 4096 locations, the PC only needs 12 bits
In a direct or indirect addressing, the processor needs to keep track of what locations in memory it is addressing: The Address Register (AR) is used for this
The AR is a 12 bit register in the Basic Computer
When an operand is found, using either direct or indirect addressing, it is placed in the Data Register (DR). The processor then uses this value as data for its operation
The Basic Computer has a single general purpose register the Accumulator (AC)
Computer Organization
Instruction codes
PROCESSOR REGISTERS
The significance of a general purpose register is that it can be used for loading operands and storing results
e.g. load AC with the contents of a specific memory location; store the contents of AC into a specified memory location
Often a processor will need a scratch register to store intermediate results or other temporary data; in the Basic Computer this is the Temporary Register (TR) The Basic Computer uses a very simple model of input/output (I/O) operations
Input devices are considered to send 8 bits of character data to the processor
The Input Register (INPR) holds an 8 bit character gotten from an input device The Output Register (OUTR) holds an 8 bit character to be send to an output device

Registers
Either one of the registers will have its load signal activated, or the memory will have its read signal activated
Will determine where the data from the bus gets loaded
The 12-bit registers, AR and PC, have 0s loaded onto the bus in the high order 4 bit positions When the 8-bit register OUTR is loaded from the bus, the data comes from the low order 8 bits on the bus

CONTROL UNIT
Control unit (CU) of a processor translates from machine instructions to the control signals (for the microoperations) that implement them Control units are implemented in one of two ways Hardwired Control
CU is made up of sequential and combinational circuits to generate the control signals
Microprogrammed Control
A control memory on the processor contains microprograms that activate the necessary control signals
We will consider a hardwired implementation of the control unit for the Basic Computer

INSTRUCTION CYCLE
In Basic Computer, a machine instruction is executed in the following cycle:
1. Fetch an instruction from memory 2. Decode the instruction and calculate effective address (EA) 3. Read the EA from memory if the instruction has an indirect address (Fetch operand) 1. Execute the instruction
After an instruction is executed, the cycle starts again at step 1, for the next instruction Note: Every different processor has its own (different) instruction cycle

- The I/O interface, instead of the CPU, monitors the I/O device.
- When the interface founds that the I/O device is ready for data transfer, it generates an interrupt request to the CPU
- Upon detecting an interrupt, the CPU stops momentarily the task it is doing, branches to the service routine to process the data transfer, and then returns to the task it was performing.
* IEN (Interrupt-enable flip-flop) - can be set and cleared by instructions - when cleared, the computer cannot be interrupted

- The interrupt cycle is a HW implementation of a branch and save return address operation. - At the beginning of the next instruction cycle, the instruction that is read from memory is in address 1. - At memory address 1, the programmer must store a branch instruction that sends the control to an interrupt service routine - The instruction that returns the control to the original program is "indirect BUN 0"
