CS 366 - Mythsim Microprogram Assignment

You are to work in groups of 2 or 3 students for this assignment. Working in groups is required for the assignment. For Part 1, the work you turn in must include the information from Part 0. For Part 2, the work you turn in must include the information from Part 0 and Part 1.

For part 1 of this assignment, your group will need to write a microprogram for the Mythsim machine for all opcodes specified below for parts 0 or 1. You will need to electronically turn in (via turnin) your assignment using the project name of mp4. Each group should only submit one copy of the assignment. Make sure that the assignment includes the names and UIC email addresses of all members of the group in a header comment. Here is a working Mythsim program for part 0.

For part 2 of this assignment, your group will need to write a microprogram must run all opcodes as specified in this write up. You will need to electronically turn in (via turnin) your assignment using the project name of mp5. Each group should only submit one copy of the assignment. Make sure that the assignment includes the names and UIC email addresses of all members of the group in a header comment.

Here are two mem files, that show the machine code for the assembly language instructions for two programs. The first program just lists all of the operations for part0. The second program lists the operations to perform an assembly langauge equivelent to x = y + z.

The grading for part 2 will be done as follows:

NameDescription
00no-opThis operation does nothing
01addRi ← Rj + Rk

This operation will add the values from registers Rj and Rk and store the result in resiter Ri.

02set registerRi ← Const8

This operation will store in register Ri the constant value given in the last 8 bits of the instruction register.

03Branch if zeroif (Rj == 0) then PC ← PR + Const4

This instruction will check if the value in register Rj is zero. If so, it will add the 4 bit constant value from the instruction register to the PC.

04moveRi ← Rj

This instruction will take the value in register Rj and store it in register Ri.

05StoreMem[Rj] ← Rk

This instruction will take a value in register Rk and store it in the computer's memory. The memory address is given by the value in register Rj.

06LoadRi ← Mem[Rj]

This instruction will take a value from the computer's memory and store it in register Ri. The memory address is given by the value in register Rj.

07SubtractionRi ← Rj - Rk

This operation will subtract from the value in register Rj the value in register Rk and store the result in resiter Ri.

18Bitwise ORRi ← Rj | Rk

This operation will perform a BITWISE OR (each bit position is ORed independently of the other bit positions). It will or each bit of the value in register Rj with the value in register Rk and store the result in register Ri.

19Bitwise ANDRi ← Rj & Rk

This operation will perform a BITWISE AND (each bit position is ANDed independently of the other bit positions). It will and each bit of the value in register Rj with the value in register Rk and store the result in register Ri.

110Bitwise NOTRi ← ¬ Rj

This operation will perform a BITWISE NOT (each bit position is NOTed independently of the other bit positions). It will not (invert) each bit of the value in register Rj and store the result in register Ri.

111Bitwise XORRi ← Rj \305 Rk

This operation will perform a BITWISE XOR (each bit position is XORed independent of the other bit positions). It will XOR each bit of the of the value in register Rj with the corresponding bit of the valus in register Rk and store the result in register Ri.

112IncrementRi ← Rj + Const4

This operation will add to the value in regsiter Rj the sign extented value contained in the Const4 field of the instruction register and store this result in register Ri. Note the sign extention of the 4 bit constant value is automatically done by the machine.

113NegationRi ← -Rj

This operation will change the sign on the value in register Rj and store the result in register Ri.
In effect this operation performs: Ri ← 0 - Rj.

114Logical Left ShiftRi ← Rj<<Rk

This operation will shift the value in register Rj to the left by the number of bits equal to the value in register Rk. The result will be stored in register Ri. The value is filled in with zeros for each bit position shifted. Note that if the value in register Rk is 8 or greater, the result will be all zeros. The value in Rk is assumed to be greater than or equal to zero. If the value in Rk is negative, do something reasonable (leave the value unshifted, set the value to zero, etc).

215Logical Right ShiftRi ← Rj>>Rk

This operation will shift the value in register Rj to the right by the number of bits equal to the value in register Rk. The result will be stored in register Ri. The value is filled in with zeros for each bit position shifted. Note that if the value in register Rk is 8 or greater, the result will be all zeros. The value in Rk is assumed to be greater than or equal to zero. If the value in Rk is negative, do something reasonable (leave the value unshifted, set the value to zero, etc).

216Arithmetic Right ShiftRi ← Rj>>Rk

This operation will shift the value in register Rj to the right by the number of bits equal to the value in register Rk. The result will be stored in register Ri. The value is filled in with zeros or ones depending on the sign bit of the original value in Rj. The sign bit is the most significant bit (the leftmost). If the sign bit is zero, the shifted value is filled in with zeros. If the sign bit is one, the shifted value is filled in with ones. Note that if the value in register Rk is 8 or greater, the result will be all zeros or all ones (depending on the sign bit of the original value in Rj. The value in Rk is assumed to be greater than or equal to zero. If the value in Rk is negative, do something reasonable (leave the value unshifted, set the value to zero, etc).

117MultiplicationRi ← Rj * Rk

This operation will multiply the value in register Rj by the value in register Rk and store the result in register Ri. Only the lower 8 bits of the result is stored in register Ri. Do not worry about overflow.

218DivisionRi ← Rj / Rk

This operation will divide the value in register Rj by the value in register Rk and store the integer quotent in register Ri.

219RemainderRi ← Rj % Rk

This operation will divide the value in register Rj by the value in register Rk and store the integer remainder in register Ri.

120Branch if equalif (Rj == Rk) then PC ← PC + Const4

131Jump with ConstantPC ← Const8

Store in the program counter (register 7) the value in the 8 bit constant field in the instruction.

132Jump with RegisterPC ← Rj

Store in the program counter (register 7) the value from register Rj.

133HaltStop exectution

In Mythsim, execution is halted when the machine detects a microinstruction that does a goto to itself. The microinstruction for this is:

opcode[33]: goto opcode[33];

Below is a table showing how to check for a comparison between to values. Remember, to compare A with B, look at the result of A - B. The comparision uses the following pieces of information:
