Sic Xe

The SIC/XE machine architecture features include memory, registers, data formats, instruction formats, addressing modes, instruction set, and input/output. It consists of 1 MB of memory organized in 8-bit bytes, nine registers of 24 bits each, and supports various data formats including integers and floating-point numbers. The instruction set encompasses operations for loading, storing, arithmetic, comparison, and control flow, with multiple addressing modes available for instruction execution.

SIC/XE Machine Architecture
• The SIC/XE machine architecture depends on the following features:
- Memory

- Registers

- Data Formats

- Instruction Formats

- Addressing Modes

- Instruction Set

- Input and Output


SIC/XE Machine Architecture
• Memory
- Memory consists of 8-bit bytes
- Any 3 consecutive bytes form a word (24 bits) Total

of I Mb ( 220) bytes in the computer memory


• Registers
- There are nine registers;
each register is 24 bits in
length except floating
point register. Mnemonic Number Special use
B (Base Register) 3 This type of register is mainly used for
- Their 1nnemonic, number addressing.
and uses are shown in the S 4 This type of register is a general-purpose
register, and there is no special use of this
following table. register.
T 5 This type of register is also the
general-purpose register, and there is no
special use of this register.
F 6 This is a floating-point register.
SIC/XE Machine Architecture
• Data Formats
- Integers are stored as 24-bit binary number
•

- 2's complement representation for negative values

Characters are stored using 8-bit ASCII codes

- Support 48 bit floating-point numbers

- Base relative (n=l, i=l, b=l, p=O)
- Program-counter relative (n=l, i=l, b=O, p=l)
- Direct (n=l, i=l, b=O, p=O)
- Immediate (n=O, i=l, x=O)
- Indirect (n=l, i=O, x=O)
- Indexing (both n & i = 0 or 1, x=l)
- Extended (e=lfor format 4, e=Ofor format 3)
SIC/XE Machine Architecture
• Instruction Set
