Central Processing Unit (CPU)
• CPU is the heart and brain
• It interprets and executes machine level instructions
• Controls data transfer from/to Main Memory (MM) and CPU
• Detects any errors
• In the following lectures, we will learn:
• Instruction representation
• Data transfer mechanism between MM and CPU
• The internal functional units of two different CPU architectures
• How these units are interconnected
• How a processor executes instructions
Instruction Representation
• CPU operation is determined by the instruction it executes
• Collection of these instructions that a CPU can execute forms its Instruction
Set
• An instruction is represented as sequence of bits, for example:
• Instruction is divided into fields
• Opcode indicates the operation to be performed, eg., 92 above indicates a
copy operation – we need two operands – one source and other destination
• Opcode represents
• nature of operands (data or address), operand 1 is address and operand 2 is data
• mode (register or memory), operand 1 is memory, and operand 2 is immediate data

9 2 0 3 B B 8 1
Opcode Operand1 Operand2
Basic Instruction Types
Not all instructions require two operands
• 3-address instructions
Operation Source1, Source2, Destination
e.g. Add A, B, C ; C = A + B
• 2-address instructions
Operation Source, Destination
e.g. Move B, C ; C = B
Add A, C ; C = C + A
Here Source2 is implicitly the destination
• 1-address instructions
e.g. Load A
Store C
• 0-address instructions
e.g. Stop
Simple Instruction Set
Assume we have a processor whose Instruction Set consists of four machine
language instructions
• Move from a memory location to a data register in CPU
• Move from a data register in CPU to a memory location
• Add the contents of a memory location to a data register
• Stop
Suppose our program for Z = X + Y looks like:
Move X, D0
Add Y, D0
Move D0, Z
Stop
This program is coded into machine instruction and suppose is loaded into memory
starting at location $0000 0000
$0000 0000
move
add
move
stop
• How does the CPU know which instruction to execute?
• There is a dedicated register in CPU called Program Counter (PC)
that points to the memory location where next instruction is stored
Therefore, at start PC = $0000 0000
• Instruction is in Main Memory – it is to be transferred
(fetched) to CPU to be executed
• CPU has an Instruction Register (IR) that holds the instruction
• What kind of instruction is to be executed?
• CPU has its own Instruction Interpreter (Decoder)
• Followed by Instruction execution
• Next instruction follows. PC is incremented by length of
instruction just completed
Mechanism of Transferring Data from MM to CPU
CPU has an external bus that connects it to the Memory and I/O devices.
The data lines are connected to the processor via the Memory Data Register
(MDR)
The address lines are connected to the processor via the Memory Address
Register (MAR)
• Memory address from where the instruction/data is to be accessed is copied into
MAR
• Contents of MAR are loaded onto address bus
• Corresponding memory location accessed
• Contents of this location put onto data bus
• Data on data bus loaded into MDR

CISC and RISC
Reduced Instruction Set Computers (RISC)
• Performs simple instructions that require small number of basic steps to execute
(smaller S)
• Requires large number of instructions to perform a given task – large code size
(larger N)
• more RAM is needed to store the assembly level instructions
• Advantage: Low cycles per second – each instruction is executed faster in one clock
cycle (smaller R)
• Example: Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) processor
Complex Instruction Set Computers (CISC)
• Complex instructions that involve large number of steps (larger S)
• Fewer instructions needed (smaller N) – small code size
• Commands represent more closely to high-level languages
• Less RAM required to store the program
• Disadvantage: High cycles per second
• Example: Motorola 68000 processor, Intel x86
General Purpose Register (GPR)Architecture
Its functional units are:
Data Registers: D0, D1, D2,..., D7 for arithmetic operations – holds any kind of data
Address Registers: A0, A1, A2,..., A7 serve as pointers to memory addresses
Working Registers: several such registers – serve as scratch pads for CPU
Program Counter (PC) holding the address in memory of the next instruction to be
executed. After an instruction is fetched from memory, the PC is automatically
incremented to hold the address of, or point to, the next instruction to be executed.
Instruction Register (IR) holds the most recently read instruction from memory while it is
being decoded by the Instruction Interpreter.
Memory Address Register (MAR) holds the address of the next location to be accessed in
memory.
Memory Buffer Register (MBR or MDR) holds the data just read from memory, or the
data which is about to be written to memory. Buffer is referring to temporarily holding
data.

Program Execution
Fetch Cycle:
• Processor fetches one instruction at a time from successive memory locations until
a branch/jump occurs.
• Instructions are located in the memory location pointed to by the PC
• Instruction is loaded into the IR
• Increment the contents of the PC by the size of an instruction
Decode Cycle:
• Instruction is decoded/interpreted, opcode will provide the type of operation to be
performed, the nature and mode of the operands
• Decoder and control logic unit is responsible to select the registers involved and
direct the data transfer.
Execute Cycle:
• Carry out the actions specified by the instruction in the IR

Accumulator (Acc)Architecture
• Its functional units are same as GPR architecture, except there is only ONE
register – accumulator (Acc) – instead of the Register File
Ex: Z = X + Y
Move contents of location X to Acc
Add contents of location Y to Acc
Move from Acc to location Z
Stop
• All operations and data movements are on this single register
• Most of the instructions in the instruction set require only one Operand
• Destination and Source are implicitly Acc
• Leads to shorter instructions but program may be slower to execute since
there are more moves to memory for intermediate results (to free Acc)
• May lead to inefficiency
