Addressing ModesAn addressing mode is the method by which an

instruction references memoryTypes of addressing modes:

ImmediateDirect IndirectRegisterRegister IndirectDisplacement (Indexed)Stack

3

Immediate AddressingSimplest form of addressingActual data is stored in instructionValue of the operand is stored within instructionData sizes vary by processor and by instructionNo memory reference (other than instruction

fetch) required to obtain operandSize of number limited to size of address field

5

Direct AddressingInstruction points to location of stored value, but

value itself is out of memorySingle memory reference to access dataNo additional calculations needed to work out

effective addressFrequently used for global variables in high level

languageLimited address space

Register Indirect AddressingVery similar to indirect addressingOnly one main difference between the twoAlgorithms:

Register Indirect: EA = (R) Indirect: EA = (A)

Advantages/disadvantages also similar to those of indirect addressing:Advantage: Large address space (2n)Disadvantage: Extra memory reference

Displacement AddressingVery powerful addressing modeCombines capabilities of direct and register

indirect addressing ( EA = A + (R) )Three common uses for displacement addressing

Relative addressingBase-register addressing Indexing

14

Displacement Addressing (continued)Relative addressing

Implicitly referred to in PC. If most memory references near to instruction being executed, use of relative addressing saves address bits in instruction

Base-register addressingConvenient means of implementing segmentation

Indexed addressingAddress field references a main memory address;

referenced register contains positive displacement from that address

ARM Addressing Modes

Arm has a rich set of addressing modes.Typically they are classified with respect to the type of

instruction.Load/Store AddressingData Processing Instruction AddressingBranch InstructionsLoad/Store Multiple Addressing

21

ARM Addressing ModesLoad/StoreLoads and stores Instructions are the only instructions

that reference memory, always done indirectly through a base register plus offset.

3 alternatives are : Offset Preindex Postindex

22

ARM Data Processing Instruction Addressing & Branch InstructionsData Processing

Or mixture of register and immediate addressingBranch

Immediate Instruction contains 24 bit valueShifted 2 bits left

On word boundary Effective range +/-32MB from PC

23

ARM Load/Store Multiple AddressingLoad/store subset of general-purpose registers 16-bit instruction field specifies list of registersSequential range of memory addressesIncrement after, increment before, decrement

after, and decrement beforeBase register specifies main memory address Incrementing or decrementing starts before or

after first memory access

24

Instruction FormatsLayouts of bits in an instructionIncludes opcodeIncludes (implicit or explicit) operand(s)Usually more than one instruction in an instruction

set

25

Instruction LengthAffected by and affects:

Memory size Memory organization Bus structure CPU complexity CPU speed

Tradeoff between powerful instruction repertoire and saving space

26

Instruction Length (continued)Should be equal to or multiple of memory transfer

lengthShould be multiple of character length (usually 8

bits)Word length of memory is “natural” unit of

organization

27

Allocation of BitsTradeoff between number of opcodes and power

of the addressing capabilityMore opcodes mean more bits in the opcode fieldIn an instruction format, this reduces number of

bits available for addressingInterrelated factors that determine the use of

addressing bits:

28

Allocation of Bits (continued)Number of addressing modes: can be implicit,

but sometimes one or more mode bits are neededNumber of operands: today’s machines provide

for two operands, each requiring its own mode indicator

Register versus memory: one operand address is implicit and consumes no instruction bits, but causes awkward programming and many instructions (a total of 8 to 32 user-visible registers is desirable)

29

Allocation of BitsNumber of register sets: most machines have

one set of 32 general-purpose registers to store data and addressesArchitectures like Pentium have more specialized

sets, that by a functional split the instruction uses fewer bits

Address range: related to number of address bits, has severe limitations (which is why direct addressing is rarely used) With displacement addressing, the range is opened

up to the length of the address register

30

Allocation of BitsAddress granularity: a factor for addresses that

reference memory rather than registers In a system with 16- or 32-bit words, an address can

reference a word or a byte at the designer’s choice Byte addressing is convenient for character

manipulation but requires more address bits

31

PDP-8 Instruction Format32

PDP-10 Instruction Format33

Variable-Length InstructionMake it difficult to decouple memory fetchesFetch part, then decide whether to fetch more,

and maybe miss in cache before instruction is complete

Fixed length allows full instruction to be fetched in one access

34

PDP-11Designed to provide powerful and flexible

instruction set within constraints of 16-bit minicomputer

Employs set of eight 16-bit general-purpose registers

Two of these registers have additional significanceOne is used as a stack pointer for special-purpose

stack operationsThe other is used as the program counter, which

contains the address of the next instruction

35

PDP-11 (continued) PDP-11 instructions set and addressing capability

are complexThis increases both hardware cost and

programming complexityThe advantage is that more efficient or compact

programs can be developed

36

PDP-11 Instruction Format37

VAXMost architectures provide a relatively small

number of fixed instruction formatsTo avoid problems two criteria were used in

designing the VAXAll instructions should have the “natural” number of

operandsAll operands should have the same generality in

specification

VAX instruction begins with a 1-byte opcode, which suffices to handle most VAX instructions

38

VAX Instruction Examples39

VAX Instruction FormatsThe remainder of the instructions consists of up

to six operand specifiersIs, at minimum, a 1-byte format in which the

leftmost 4 bits are the address mode specifier The only exception to this rule is the literal mode,

which is signaled by the pattern 00 in the leftmost 2 bits, leaving space for a 6-bit literal

Because of this exception, a total of 12 different addressing modes can be specified

40

VAX Instruction FormatsAn example uses an 8-, 16-, or 32-bit

displacement. An indexed mode of addressing may be used. In this case, the first byte of the operand specifier consists of the 4-bit addressing mode code of 0100 and a 4-bit index register identifier.

The remainder of operand specifier consists of base address specifier, which may be one or more bytes.

The VAX instruction set provides for a wide variety of operations and addressing modes. This gives the programmer a very powerful and flexible tool for developing programs.
