Topic: Addressing mode


  
 Addressing mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Addressing modes, a concept from computer science, are an aspect of the instruction set architecture in most central processing unit (CPU) designs.
The various addressing modes that are defined in a given instruction set architecture define how machine language instructions in that architecture identify the operand (or operands) of each instruction.
In computer programming, addressing modes are primarily of interest to compiler writers and to those who write code directly in assembly language.

 addressing mode Computer Encyclopedia Enterprise Resource Directory Complete Guide to Internet
Indirect addressing modes often have options for pre- or post- increment or decrement, meaning that the register or memory location containing the {effective address} is incremented or decremented by some amount (either fixed or also specified in the instruction), either before or after the instruction is executed.
Such complex addressing modes are designed to support access to multidimensional arrays and arrays of data structures.
One of a set of methods for specifying the {operand}(s) for a {machine code} instruction.

 Department of Computer Science - PDP-11 - Don S. Bidulock
In autoincrement mode, at the start of the instruction execution, the register contains the address of the operand, and, after the instruction is executed, the address of the next higher word or byte memory location.
The address is decremented by one for bytes, by two for words.
In index mode, a base address is added to an index word to produce the effective address of an operand; the base address specifies the starting location of table or list.

 ECE 272 Laboratory - Lab 4
An addressing mode is the means by which the computer selects the data that is used in an instruction.
In indexed addressing the 8086 uses the contents of a register along with a constant to compute the memory address of the data.
The contents of a register along with a constant are used to compute the memory address of the data.

Direct Indexed Indirect -- (d,x) This address mode is often referred to as Indirect X The second byte of the Instruction is added to the sum of the Direct Register and the X Index Register.
Direct Indirect Indexed -- (d),y This address mode is often referred to as Indirect,Y. The second byte of the instruction is added to the Direct Register (D).
Stack Relative -- d,s The low-order 16 bits of the effective address is formed from the sum of the second byte of the instruction and the Stack Pointer.

 The 68000
Address Register Indirect (ARI) with postincrement uses an Address Register to hold the address of the data being either written to or read from memory, but after the instruction is complete, the address register's value is incremented by either 1, 2, or 4.
The amount by which the address register is decremented is based on the data size (i.e.; 1 for Byte, 2 for Word, 4 for Longword).
Immediate mode is used when the data is known, or is a constant, in the program.

Following the opcode is the addressing mode byte, affectionately called the "mod-reg-r/m" byte by most programmers.
The 80386 computes the effective address by adding disp, base, and index*n together.
For programmers working on the 80386 processor, there is always the temptation to skip the 8086 addressing modes and use the 80386 set exclusively.

The value of the top-of-stack pointer is the address in the block of memory where the value currently on the top of the stack is stored.
The value has been added at a lower address than the value that was previously on the top of the stack, and therefore, the stack is seen as growing down in memory.
The contents of a stack consist of the data values that reside in memory between the address referenced by the top-of-stack variable and the last memory location in the block.

One can also use the stack pointer (syntax "sp" or "a7"); however, you should keep in mind that this is the processor stack pointer, so you have to make sure, when changing it, that you don't lose some useful information that was on the stack.
In this example, the byte that is stored in the memory location pointed to by register a0 is stored into the least significant byte of register d0; then, register a0 is incremented by one.
It will be up to the assembler-linker-loader team to decide where this memory location will be, but you can be sure that by the time the program is executed, the right address will have been put in place of label "var" in the "movel" statement.

 The Basics:What is Real Mode?
For example, instructions are fetched from memory by combinging the CS register (code segment) and the IP register (instruction pointer).
This works because the linear address is computed by combining these two values:
Indeed, the way that modern Windows makes older Real Mode programs work is by using "virtual 8086" machines that provide a separate execution environment - a virtual CPU.

In addition, we propose an instruction set extension, utilizing the advantages of this addressing mode, as means of improving the computational power of a general-purpose super-scalar processor.

 Lecture notes - Chapter 10 - Pentium Architecture
For our implementation, an operand within an instruction that uses this addressing mode could look like [EAX][EDI*2 + 80] The effective address calculated with be the contents of register EDI multiplied times 2 added to the constant 80, added to the contents of register EAX.
This is much of the reason that Intel chose this form of memory model for its earliest single-chip processors.
-- base-indexed mode -- (Intel's name) The effective address is the sum of the contents of two registers.

Both of these words take an absolute address, and compute the relative offset from the branch instruction; the short or long form of the branch is then automatically chosen.
These instructions use 6x for Indexed mode, and 7x for Extended, so the assembler assumes a "base opcode" of 4x, and adds 10, 20, or 30 hex.
The relative offset is computed, and the "long branch" form of the instruction is used if necessary.

 Addressing Mode Selection
The selection of he optimal addressing modes in the means of minimal code size and minimal execution time depends on many parameters and is NP complete in general.
In our experiments we show hat the addressing mode selection can be optimally solved for almost all benchmark programs and the compile-time overhead of the address mode selection is within acceptable bounds for a production DSP compiler.
For example DSPs (digital signal processors) have powerful addressing modes for efficiently implementing numerical algorithms.

 Codegurus.be - About RIP relative addressing (x64 / x86-64 / AMD64 / EM64T / AA-64)
In 64-bit mode the segment operands are ignored and if you encode multiple REX bytes (see the AMD64/EM64T manuals) only the last REX byte is taken into account, so if you write a disassembler or if you are writing a program to emulate/protect/encrypt 64-bit executables, you need to take this behaviour into account.
I've got good news and bad news for you, YASM supports RIP relative addressing but at the moment isn't able to produce object files we can use to create a PE+ file.
The maximum size of an instruction taking all operand etc into account is 15 bytes (atleast that's what I read in the AMD64 programmer's manual).

In other applications this addressing scheme will not provide any benefits, because, instead of moving to new data, you would have to hop back to the old data first and then move on.
Intel goes on to say that further enhancing the addressing capabilities, FSB address bits A[19] and A[20] are also employed and used for rank selection on the memory channel.
Using a 256MBx16, 8KB page size memory module as an example, Intel claims that in 'linear' mode only one page can be opened per bank (4 pages per ROW or Rank) Switching between banks causes the memory controller to have to close and open mulitiple pages.

 Pixel Addressing
For example, a Pixel Addressing value of 2 will result in ¼ of the pixels.
Unlike binning with CCD sensors, this summation occurs after the image is digitized so no increase in sensitivity will be noticed but a dark image will appear brighter.
For Pixel Addressing values greater than 1, the number of pixels will be reduced by the square of the value.
