Topic: Memory data register


  
  Processor register - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer architecture, a processor register is a small amount of very fast computer memory used to speed the execution of computer programs by providing quick access to commonly used values—typically, the values being in the midst of a calculation at a given point in time.
Registers are normally measured by the number of bits they can hold, for example, an "8-bit register" or a "32-bit register".
Registers are now usually implemented as a register file, but they have also been implemented using individual flip-flops, high speed core memory, thin film memory, and other ways in various machines.

The memory in which it resides is called a control store.
A register set is a fast memory containing the data of the central processing unit.
There may also be a memory address register and a memory data register, used to access the main computer storage.

 Memory address register - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The memory address register is the register of a computer's control unit that contains the address of a register to fetch or store from or to the computer storage.
The memory address register is half of a minimal interface between a microprogram and computer storage.
The other half is a memory data register.

Register rb has its value passed on to the ALU stage, but a decision is made as to whether the value of register rc or the immediate field of the instruction itself gets passed to the ALU as the second operand.
Sometimes this is implemented by writing to the register during the first half of the cycle and reading the two input registers on the second half of the cycle: for example, using posedge(clock) to write and negedge(clock) to read register values.

 Register-Memory Data Access   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
There have been a variety of restrictions that allow at least one memory operand in arithmetic and logical instructions, but require certain operands to be in registers.
Generally, as technology reduced the cost or chip area of circuitry, the restrictions were lifted.
For this example, it is assumed that the instruction set has two operand arithmetic instructions, the first source operand is also the destination operand and only the second source operand can be in memory.

The vector registers to be used by a vector instruction are specified by the vector control word operand.
If asynchronous memory management handling is implemented, and VPSR is set when the scalar processor sends the vector processor an instruction, the vector processor clears VPSR, and retries the faulting memory reference before any new vector instructions in the queue are executed.

The first 8-bits (left to right) are the opcode ORI, the second 5-bits are the Destination Register Address, the third 5-bits is the register that the Immediate Data is "OR'ed" to, the last 15-bits is the Immediate Data that will be added to register location "00000"(which is the third 5-bits).
During this state the Controller loads ALU1 (register to hold data to be used by the ALU) with the immediate data and also loads ALU2 with the register SA ("00000") contents.
The Controller then activates the logic function in the ALU to output the logical "OR" of the two inputs this should be "00000000000000000000000001000111"because the bits in the register located at "00001" are reset to zeros upon start-up.

The Memory Data Register (MDR) holds loaded data so that the memory address can change.
In this case, we could just keep the address constant by holding the ALU control signals constant, but we want to think in terms of separating the stages (gets us ready for PI).
No enable is required; MDR only needs to hold the data for one clock cycle.
