MICROPROGRAMMED CONTROL Control Memory Microprogram


- Program stored in memory that generates all the control signals required to execute the instruction set correctly - Consists of microinstructions

Microinstruction
- Contains a control word and a sequencing word Control Word - All the control information required for one clock cycle Sequencing Word - Information needed to decide the next microinstruction address - Vocabulary to write a microprogram

Control Memory(Control Storage: CS)


- Storage in the microprogrammed control unit to store the microprogram

Writeable Control Memory(Writeable Control Storage:WCS)


- CS whose contents can be modified -> Allows the microprogram can be changed -> Instruction set can be changed or modified

Dynamic Microprogramming
- Computer system whose control unit is implemented with a microprogram in WCS - Microprogram can be changed by a systems programmer or a user

Sequencer (Microprogram Sequencer)


A Microprogram Control Unit that determines the Microinstruction Address to be executed in the next clock cycle - In-line Sequencing - Branch - Conditional Branch - Subroutine - Loop - Instruction OP-code mapping

MICROINSTRUCTION FORMAT
Information in a Microinstruction - Control Information - Sequencing Information - Constant Information which is useful when feeding into the system These information needs to be organized in some way for - Efficient use of the microinstruction bits - Fast decoding Field Encoding - Encoding the microinstruction bits - Encoding slows down the execution speed due to the decoding delay - Encoding also reduces the flexibility due to the decoding hardware

HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL MICROINSTRUCTION FORMAT


Horizontal Microinstructions Each bit directly controls each micro-operation or each control point Horizontal implies a long microinstruction word Advantages: Can control a variety of components operating in parallel. --> Advantage of efficient hardware utilization Disadvantages: Control word bits are not fully utilized --> CS becomes large --> Costly Vertical Microinstructions A microinstruction format that is not horizontal Vertical implies a short microinstruction word Encoded Microinstruction fields --> Needs decoding circuits for one or two levels of decoding
One-level decoding Field A 2 bits 2x4 Decoder 1 of 4 Field B 3 bits 3x8 Decoder 1 of 8 Two-level decoding Field A 2 bits 2x4 Decoder Field B 6 bits 6 x 64 Decoder Decoder and selection logic

NANOSTORAGE AND NANOINSTRUCTION


The decoder circuits in a vertical microprogram storage organization can be replaced by a ROM => Two levels of control storage First level - Control Storage Second level - Nano Storage Two-level microprogram
First level -Vertical format Microprogram Second level -Horizontal format Nanoprogram - Interprets the microinstruction fields, thus converts a vertical microinstruction format into a horizontal nanoinstruction format. Usually, the microprogram consists of a large number of short microinstructions, while the nanoprogram contains fewer words with longer nanoinstructions.

TWO-LEVEL MICROPROGRAMMING - EXAMPLE


* Microprogram: 2048 microinstructions of 200 bits each * With 1-Level Control Storage: 2048 x 200 = 409,600 bits * Assumption: 256 distinct microinstructions among 2048 * With 2-Level Control Storage: Nano Storage: 256 x 200 bits to store 256 distinct nanoinstructions Control storage: 2048 x 8 bits To address 256 nano storage locations 8 bits are needed * Total 1-Level control storage: 409,600 bits Total 2-Level control storage: 67,584 bits (256 x 200 + 2048 x 8)
Control address register 11 bits Control memory 2048 x 8 Microinstruction (8 bits) Nanomemory address Nanomemory 256 x 200 Nanoinstructions (200 bits)
