Binary Arithmetic Operations • Binary numbers • Similar to decimal calculations – Used by digital systems • Examples of addition and multiplication are • Because digital devices can easily produce high or low given in the next two slides. level voltages, which can represent 1 or 0. • Decimals – Used by humans • Hexadecimals or sometimes octal numbers – For neat binary representation – For easy number conversion between binary and decimal • Please see the additional material provided S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 11 S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 12

Binary Additions Binary Multiplications • Example: • Example: – Addition of two 4-bit unsigned binary numbers. – Multiplication of two 4-bit unsigned binary How many bits are required for holding the result? numbers. How many bits are required for holding the result? 1001+0110 = (__________) 1001*0110 = (____________________) S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 13 S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 14 Examples Negative Numbers & Subtraction 2’s complement numbers • Represent the following decimal numbers using 8- • Subtraction can be defined as addition of the additive bit 2’s complement format inverse: (a) 7 a – b = a + (-b) (b) 127 • To eliminate subtraction in binary arithmetic, we can (c) -12 represent –b by two’s complement of b . • Can all the above numbers be represented by 4 bits? • In n -bit binary arithmetic, 2’s complement of b is b* = 2 n – b • An n -bit binary number can be interpreted in two different ways: signed or unsigned. What value – (b*)* = b does the 4-bit number, 1011, represent? – The MSB (Most Significant Bit) of a 2’s complement number is the sign bit (a) if it is a signed number, or • For example, for a 4-bit 2’s complement system, (b) if it is an unsigned number • (1001) � -7, (0111) � 7 S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 15 S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 16

Examples Overflow in Two’s-Complement 4-bit 2’s-complement additions/subtractions • Assume a , b are positive numbers in an n -bit (1) 0101 - 0010 (5 - 2): (3) -0101 - 0010 (-5 - 2): 2’s complement systems, 0101 1011 (= 0101*) – For a+b + 1110 (= 0010*) + 1110 (= 0010*) • If a+b > 2 n-1 - 1 , then a+b represents a negative number; = 10011 = 11001 this is positive overflow . Result is 0111 * (how?) – For -a-b (2) 0010 - 0101 (2 - 5): and means -7. • If –a-b < 2 n-1 , then –a-b results in a positive number; this 0010 is negative overflow . + 1011 (= 0101*) (4) 0101 + 0010 (5 + 2): = 1101 (= 0011*). This is trivial, as no conversions are Result means - 3. required. The result is 0111 (= 7). S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 17 S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 18 Positive Overflow Detection Negative Overflow Detection Addition of 4-bit positive Positive overflow looks Negative overflow: Addition of negative twos- numbers without like this: complement numbers 1xxx without overflow: overflow looks like this: 0xxx + 1xxx 1xxx 0xxx + 0xxx = 10xxx . + 1xxx + 0xxx = 1xxx . The carry in to the MSB = 11xxx . = 0xxx . The “carry in” to the MSB must have been 0, but The carry in to the MSB The “carry in” to the MSB must have been 1, but the carry out is 1. must have been 1 must have been 0, and the carry out is 0. So negative overflow, like (otherwise the sum bit the carry out is 0. Overflow occurs when positive, occurs when would be 0), and the carry out is 1. carry in carry out. ≠ carry in carry out. ≠ S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 19 S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 20

Overflow Detection Examples • For n-bit 2’s complement systems, condition 1. Do the following calculations, where all of overflow for both addition and substraction: numbers are 4-bit 2’s complement numbers. Check whether there is any overflow. – The MSB has a carry-in different from the carry- out (a) 1000-0001 (b) 1000+0101 (c) 0101+0110 S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 21 S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 22 Microprocessor Applications Instruction Set • Instruction set provides the vocabulary and grammar • A microprocessor application system can be for programmer/software to communicate with the abstracted in a three-level architecture hardware machine. • It is machine oriented – ISA is the interface between hardware and – Different machine, different instruction set software • For example – 68K has more comprehensive instruction set than ARM machine FORTRAN 90 Assembly – Same operation, could be written differently in different C program program program machines FORTRAN 90 C program • AVR program compiled compiled to ISA program to ISA program – Addition: add r2, r1 ;r2 � r2+r1 Software – Branching: breq 6 ;branch if equal condition is true ISA level – Load: ldi r30, $F0 ;r30 � Mem[F0] Hardware • 68K: ISA program executed by hardware – Addition: add d1,d2 ;d2 � d2+d1 – Branching: breq 6 ;branch if equal condition is true – Load: mov # 1234, D3 ;d2 � 1234 Hardware S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 23 S2, 2008 COMP9032 Week1 24
