Chapter 3 Arithmetic for Computers
Arithmetic for Computers §3.1 Introduction • Operations on integers • Addition and subtraction • Multiplication and division • Dealing with overflow • Floating-point real numbers • Representation and operations Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 2
operation a ALU 32 result 32 b 32 Arithmetic • Where we've been: • Performance (seconds, cycles, instructions) • Abstractions: Instruction Set Architecture Assembly Language and Machine Language • What's up ahead: • Implementing the Architecture
Numbers • Bits are just bits (no inherent meaning) — conventions define relationship between bits and numbers • Binary numbers (base 2) 0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001... decimal: 0...2n-1 • Of course it gets more complicated: numbers are finite (overflow) fractions and real numbers negative numbers e.g., no MIPS subi instruction; addi can add a negative number) • How do we represent negative numbers? i.e., which bit patterns will represent which numbers?
Possible Representations • Sign Magnitude: One's Complement Two's Complement 000 = +0 000 = +0 000 = +0 001 = +1 001 = +1 001 = +1 010 = +2 010 = +2 010 = +2 011 = +3 011 = +3 011 = +3 100 = -0 100 = -3 100 = -4 101 = -1 101 = -2 101 = -3 110 = -2 110 = -1 110 = -2 111 = -3 111 = -0 111 = -1 • Issues: balance, number of zeros, ease of operations • Which one is best? Why?

Two's Complement Operations • Negating a two's complement number: invert all bits and add 1 • remember: “negate (+/-)” and “invert (1/0)” are quite different! • Converting n bit numbers into numbers with more than n bits: • MIPS 16 bit immediate gets converted to 32 bits for arithmetic • copy the most significant bit (the sign bit) into the other bits 0010 -> 0000 0010 1010 -> 1111 1010 • "sign extension" • MIPS: lbu vs. lb • ARM: LDRSB vs LDRB
Addition & Subtraction • Just like in grade school (carry/borrow 1s) 0111 0111 0110+ 0110 - 0110 - 0101 • Two's complement operations easy • subtraction using addition of negative numbers 0111 + 1010 • Overflow (result too large for finite computer word): • e.g., adding two n-bit numbers does not yield an n-bit number 0111 + 0001 note that overflow term is somewhat misleading, 1000 it does not mean a carry “overflowed”
Effects of Overflow • An exception (interrupt) occurs • Control jumps to predefined address for exception • Interrupted address is saved for possible resumption • Details based on software system / language • example: flight control vs. homework assignment • Don't always want to detect overflow — new MIPS instructions: addu, addiu, subu note: addiu still sign-extends! note: sltu, sltiu for unsigned comparisons — ARM instructions: ADD, SUB • Roll over:circular buffers • Saturation: pixel lightness control
Review: Boolean Algebra & Gates • Problem: Consider a logic function with three inputs: A, B, and C. Output D is true if at least one input is true Output E is true if exactly two inputs are true Output F is true only if all three inputs are true • Show the truth table for these three functions. • Show the Boolean equations for these three functions. • Show an implementation consisting of inverters, AND, and OR gates.
operation op a b res result An ALU (arithmetic logic unit) • Let's build an ALU to support the andi and ori instructions • we'll just build a 1 bit ALU, and use 32 of them • Possible Implementation (sum-of-products): a b
S A C B Review: The Multiplexor • Selects one of the inputs to be the output, based on a control input • Lets build our ALU using a MUX: note: we call this a 2-input mux even though it has 3 inputs! 0 1
Different Implementations • Not easy to decide the “best” way to build something • Don't want too many inputs to a single gate • Dont want to have to go through too many gates • for our purposes, ease of comprehension is important • Let's look at a 1-bit ALU for addition: • How could we build a 1-bit ALU for add, and, and or? • How could we build a 32-bit ALU? cout = a b + a cin + b cin sum = a xor b xor cin
Building a 32 bit ALU Case (Op) { 0: R = a ^ b; 1: R = a V b; 2: R = a + b} R0 = a ^ b; R1 = a V b; R2 = a + b; Case (Op) { 0: R = R0; 1: R = R1; 2: R = R2 }
What about subtraction (a – b) ? • Two's complement approach: just negate b and add. • How do we negate? • A very clever solution: Result = A + (~B) + 1
Tailoring the ALU to the MIPS • Need to support the set-on-less-than instruction (slt) • remember: slt is an arithmetic instruction • produces a 1 if rs < rt and 0 otherwise • use subtraction: (a-b) < 0 implies a < b • Need to support test for equality (beq $t5, $t6, $t7) • use subtraction: (a-b) = 0 implies a = b

Conclusion • We can build an ALU to support the MIPS instruction set • key idea: use multiplexor to select the output we want • we can efficiently perform subtraction using two’s complement • we can replicate a 1-bit ALU to produce a 32-bit ALU • Important points about hardware • all of the gates are always working • the speed of a gate is affected by the number of inputs to the gate • the speed of a circuit is affected by the number of gates in series (on the “critical path” or the “deepest level of logic”) • Our primary focus: comprehension, however, • Clever changes to organization can improve performance (similar to using better algorithms in software) • we’ll look at two examples for addition and multiplication
Problem: ripple carry adder is slow • Is a 32-bit ALU as fast as a 1-bit ALU? • Is there more than one way to do addition? • two extremes: ripple carry and sum-of-products Can you see the ripple? How could you get rid of it? c1 = b0c0 + a0c0 +a0b0 c2 = b1c1 + a1c1 +a1b1 c3 = b2c2 + a2c2 +a2b2 c4 = b3c3 + a3c3 +a3b3 Expanding the carry chains… c2 = a1a0b0+a1a0c0+a1b0c0+b1a0b0+b1a0c0+b1b0c0+a1b1 c3 = ??? c4 = ??? Not feasible! Why? Cn has 2P terms(P=0…n)
Carry-lookahead adder • An approach in-between our two extremes • Motivation: • If we didn't know the value of carry-in, what could we do? • When would we always generate a carry? gi = ai bi • When would we propagate the carry? pi = ai + bi • Did we get rid of the ripple? c1 = g0 + p0c0 c2 = g1 + p1c1 c3 = g2 + p2c2 c4 = g3 + p3c3 Expanding the carry chains… c2 = g1+p1g0+p1p0c0 Feasible! Why? The carry chain does not disappear, but is much smaller: Cn has n+1 terms
P0 = p3 p2 p1 p0 P1 = p7 p6 p5 p4 P2 =p11 p10 p9 p8 P3 = p15 p14 p13 p12 G0 = g3+p3g2+p3p2g1+p3p2p1g0 G1 = g7+p7g6+p7p6g5+p7p6p5g4 G2 = g11+p11g10+p11p10g9+p11p10p9g8 G3 = g15+p15g14+p15p14g13+p15p14p13g12 Use principle to build bigger adders • How about constructing a 16-bit adder in CLA way? • Can’t build a 16 bit adder this way... (too big) • Could use ripple carry of 4-bit CLA adders • Better: use the CLA principle again! C1 = G0 +(P0 ⋅ c0) C2 = G1+(P1 ⋅ G0)+(P1⋅P0⋅c0) C3 = G2+(P2 ⋅ G1)+(P2⋅P1⋅G0)+(P2⋅P1⋅P0⋅c0) C4 = G3+(P3 ⋅ G2)+(P3⋅P2⋅G1)+(P3⋅P2⋅P1⋅G0) +(P3⋅P2⋅P1⋅P0⋅c0)
Dealing with Overflow (ARM) • Some languages (e.g., C) ignore overflow • Use ARM ADD,SUB instructions • Other languages (e.g., Ada, Fortran) require raising an exception • Use ARM ADDS,SUBS instructions • On overflow, invoke exception handler Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 31

1000 × 1001 1000 0000 0000 1000 1001000 Multiplication §3.3 Multiplication • Start with long-multiplication approach multiplicand multiplier product Length of product is the sum of operand lengths Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 34
Multiplication Hardware Initially 0 Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 35
Optimized Multiplier • Perform steps in parallel: add/shift • One cycle per partial-product addition • That’s ok, if frequency of multiplications is low Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 36
Faster Multiplier • Uses multiple adders • Cost/performance tradeoff • Can be pipelined • Several multiplication performed in parallel Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 37
MIPS Multiplication • Two 32-bit registers for product • HI: most-significant 32 bits • LO: least-significant 32-bits • Instructions • mult rs, rt / multu rs, rt • 64-bit product in HI/LO • mfhi rd / mflo rd • Move from HI/LO to rd • Can test HI value to see if product overflows 32 bits • mul rd, rs, rt • Least-significant 32 bits of product –> rd Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 38
ARM Multiplication • The MUL instruction is used to multiply signed or unsigned variables to produce a 32-bit result • Instruction • MUL Rd,Rm,Rs ; Rd = Rm * Rs (32 bits) • Because the MUL instruction produces only the lower 32 bits of the 64-bit product, MUL gives the same answer for both signed and unsigned numbers Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 39
Division §3.4 Division • Check for 0 divisor • Long division approach • If divisor ≤ dividend bits • 1 bit in quotient, subtract • Otherwise • 0 bit in quotient, bring down next dividend bit • Restoring division • Do the subtract, and if remainder goes < 0, add divisor back • Signed division • Divide using absolute values • Adjust sign of quotient and remainder as required • Remainder and dividend must have the same sign! • EX: (-7)÷(+2) = (-3)x2 + (-1) or (-4)x2+(+1) ??? quotient dividend 1001 1000 1001010 -1000 10 101 1010 -1000 10 divisor remainder n-bit operands yield n-bitquotient and remainder Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 40
Division Hardware Initially divisor in left half Initially dividend Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 41
Optimized Divider • One cycle per partial-remainder subtraction • Looks a lot like a multiplier! • Same hardware can be used for both Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 42
Faster Division • Can’t use parallel hardware as in multiplier • Subtraction is conditional on sign of remainder • Faster dividers (e.g. SRT devision) generate multiple quotient bits per step • Still require multiple steps Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 43
MIPS Division • Use HI/LO registers for result • HI: 32-bit remainder • LO: 32-bit quotient • Instructions • div rs, rt / divu rs, rt • No overflow or divide-by-0 checking • Software must perform checks if required • Use mfhi, mflo to access result Chapter 3 — Arithmetic for Computers — 44
