Note 2: In our lectures, we designed and evaluated the instruction set called x295M. In this
assignment, we shall design and evaluate three (3) other instruction sets: x295, x295+
and x295++.
Be aware: All of these 4 instruction sets are different!

Instruction Set 1 – x295
A. Description of x295 instruction set architecture (ISA)
 Data size : 16 bits
 Memory model
o Size of memory: 212 × 16
 m = 12 -> this means that each memory address has 12 bits.
 n = 16 -> this means that the address resolution, i.e., the smallest
addressable memory “chunk”, is a memory “chunk” of 16 bits.
 Each memory “chunk” of 16 bits has a distinct memory address.
 This is not a byte-addressable computer
o Word size: 16 bits -> this means that when the microprocessor reads from/writes
to memory, it reads/writes 16 bits at a time.
 It is a coincidence that the address resolution and the word size have the
same bit value. These two are independent from each other.
o Number of registers: 0
 Instruction set (assembly and machine instructions)
o Maximum number of instructions: 16
 This means that we need a maximum of 4 bits to distinctly represent each
of these 16 instructions.
 Therefore, the size of the opcode field, in the machine instructions, will be
4 bits (24 = 16)
o Operand Model:
CMPT 295 – Spring 2021
 Memory (only) – only memory locations are operands, no registers are
used as operands except the register representing the stack pointer
 3-operand model
 In the machine instructions, the order of these operands is: Dest, Src1, Src2
o Memory addressing mode: Direct, Base and Displacement and Indirect
 These may not all be used in the instructions found in this assignment.
o Assembly instructions (defined so far) and their format and meaning:
 ADD a,b,c Meaning: M[c] <- M[a] + M[b]
 SUB a,b,c Meaning: M[c] <- M[a] - M[b]
 MUL a,b,c Meaning: M[c] <- M[a] * M[b]
 In these assembly instructions, the order of the operands is: Src1, Src2,
Dest.
o Machine code format:


4 bits 4 bits 4 bits
This format is made of 3 words, each word is 16 bits in length (word size). This
format must be used to form all three machine instructions corresponding to the
three assembly instructions listed above.
The bit patterns for the opcode are:
Opcode (instruction) Bit pattern (4 bits)
padding 0000
ADD 0001
SUB 0010
MUL 0011

Note: In the above machine
code, we will not be using
actual memory addresses in
the memory address fields
(fields in purple).
1. The first step in evaluating our x295 instruction set is to write an assembly program using
the assembly instructions defined by our x295 instruction set. This step has been done
for us and is displayed in the table above in column “x295 assembly program”.
Note that as we are performing this step, we are verifying that our x295 instruction set
contains sufficient instructions to allow us to write such program in x295 assembly code.
(Nothing for us to do in this part of our x295 instruction set evaluation.)
Once we have our x295 assembly program, we need to transform it into its x295
machine code equivalent. This step has been done for us and is displayed in the table
above in column “x295 machine code”.
Note that as we are performing this step, we are verifying that our x295 instruction set
contains sufficient instructions to allow us to write such program in x295 machine code.
(Again, nothing for us to do in this part of our x295 instruction set evaluation.)
2. The next step is evaluating our x295 instruction set is to execute (hand trace) our
assembly program or its corresponding machine code and using the metric (criteria) called
memory traffic, we count the number of memory accesses our program makes during its
execution. In other words, we count how many time the execution of our program
required a word (16 bits) to be read from or written to memory.
Note that as we are performing this step, we are verifying that the meaning of the
instructions contained in our x295 instruction set is such that hand tracing these
instructions does indeed produce the result the software developer that wrote the above
C program expected. This is to say that if we use the test case: x = 3, y = 2 when hand
tracing our x295 assembly code (or its machine code equivalent), we would obtain the
same (expected) result as if we were to hand trace the C program itself.
As part of this step in the evaluation of our x295 instruction set, we are asked to evaluate
the number of word size memory accesses made by the microprocessor when it is
CMPT 295 – Spring 2021
fetching and executing each assembly code statement (or machine code statement) listed
in the left column in the table below. Also we need to justify our count. Finally, let’s total
our counts. [2 marks]

3. We also evaluate our instruction set using the metric (criteria) called static code size:
o The code size of our x295 program is 3 instructions.
o And since each instruction is 3 word long, the code size of our x295 program is 9
words.
(Nothing for us to do in this part of our x295 instruction set evaluation.)

Instruction Set 2 – x295+
A. Description of x295+ instruction set architecture (ISA)
Considering the results of our x295 instruction set evaluation, one possible improvement in
order to reduce the number of memory accesses could be to reduce the size of the machine
instructions. Since these are made of an opcode and a memory address, we could introduce
registers which could hold these memory addresses and take less space (less number of bits)
to identify in the machine code than to identify the memory addresses.
With the idea of introducing registers, we specified a second instruction set architecture (ISA)
with the same components as x295, but with the following modifications:
 Memory model
o Number of registers: 8 x 16-bit registers
 This means that we need a maximum of 3 bits to distinctly represent each
of these 8 (23) registers.
 Therefore, the size of any register field, in the machine instructions, will be
3 bits in length.
 Each register contains 16 bits.
o The bit patterns for the registers are:
Register Bit pattern (3 bits)
r0 000
r1 001
r2 010
r3 011
r4 100
r5 101
r6 110
r7 111
CMPT 295 – Spring 2021
 Instruction set (assembly and machine instructions)
o Operand Model:
 Registers
o Assembly instructions:
 ADD rA,rB,rC Meaning: rC <- rA + rB
 SUB rA,rB,rC Meaning: rC <- rA - rB
 MUL rA,rB,rC Meaning: rC <- rA * rB
 LOAD a,rC Meaning: rC <- M[a]
 STORE rA,c Meaning: M[c] <- rA
o Machine code format:
Format 1:

This format is made of 16 bits (1 word) and it can be used to form the machine
instructions corresponding to the ADD, SUB and MUL assembly instructions.
XXX -> these X’s can be either 0’s or 1’s – they are not used by the microprocessor.
Format 2:

This format is made of 32 bits (2 words) and it can be used to form the machine
instructions corresponding to the LOAD assembly instruction.
XXX, XXXXXX and XXXX -> these X’s can be either 0’s or 1’s. – they are not used by
the microprocessor.
Format 3:

This format is made of 32 bits (2 words) and it can be used to form the machine
instructions corresponding to the STORE assembly instruction.
XXX and XXXXXX -> these X’s can be either 0’s or 1’s– they are not used by the
microprocessor.
When the microprocessor decodes the opcode for a LOAD instruction, it will
know where to find Dest and where to find Src (in the memory address located
in the least significant 12 bits of the second word composing this instruction). It
will also know to ignore all other bits (X’s) in the instruction.

CMPT 295 – Spring 2021
When the microprocessor decodes the opcode for a STORE instruction, it will
know where to find Src and where to find Dest (in the memory address located
in the least significant 12 bits of the second word composing this instruction). It
will also know to ignore all other bits (X’s) in the instruction.
Note: About ISA design principles: When creating formats to encode instruction
set …
 As few of them as possible were created.
 The fields that have the same purpose (such as Opcode, Dest and Src)
are placed in the same location in as many of the formats as possible.
This helps simplify the design of the microprocessor (its datapath).
The bit patterns for the opcode are:
Opcode (instruction) Bit pattern (4 bits)

ADD 0001
SUB 0010
MUL 0011

1. The first step in evaluating our x295+ instruction set is to translate the C program into
 an assembly program using the assembly instructions defined by our x295+
instruction set and

x295+ instruction set.
Our task is to complete the middle column (assembly code) in the table above. The
machine code has already been given. [3 marks]
2. The next step is evaluating our x295+ instruction set is to execute (hand trace) our
assembly program or its corresponding machine code and using the metric (criteria) called

required a word (16 bits) to be read from or written to memory.

3. We also evaluate our instruction set using the metric (criteria) called static code size. Fill
in the blanks in the statement below: [0.5 marks]
o The code size of our x295+ program is __________ instructions ( __________ words).
Instruction Set 3 – x295++
A. Description of x295++ instruction set architecture (ISA)
Would reducing the number of operands to the instructions in our instruction set decrease
the number of memory accesses the microprocessor does when fetching and executing our
program?
Would introducing another instruction, namely COPY, in our instruction set also decrease the
number of memory accesses the microprocessor does when fetching and executing our
program?
With the above two ideas in mind, we specified a third instruction set architecture (ISA) with
the same components as x295 and x295+, but with the following modifications:
 Instruction set (assembly and machine instructions)
o Operand Model:
 2 operand model
o Assembly instructions:
 ADD rA,rC Meaning: rC <- rA + rC
 SUB rA,rC Meaning: rC <- rA - rC
 MUL rA,rC Meaning: rC <- rA * rC
 COPY rA,rC Meaning: rC <- rA
 LOAD a,rC Meaning: rC <- M[a]
 STORE rA,c Meaning: M[c] <- rA
o Machine code formats:

Format 1:

This format is made of 16 bits (1 word) and it can be used to form the machine
instructions corresponding to the ADD, SUB, MUL and COPY assembly instructions.
