Sic, Sic/Xe: Jian-hua Yeh (葉建華) 真理大學資訊科學系助理教授

SIC and SIC/XE are computer architectures. [1] SIC is the standard model with general hardware features similar to microcomputers. [2] SIC/XE extends SIC with more memory, registers, and floating-point data and instruction formats. [3] Both support load/store, arithmetic, compare, and conditional jump instructions, with SIC/XE adding floating-point, register, and I/O channel instructions.

SIC Architecture
• SIC
– Standard model
– General computer hardware features
– Similar to classical microcomputer

• SIC/XE
– Extended model
– Extend SIC standard functions

2
SIC Hardware Features
• Memory Structure
– 8-bits Byte
– 3-bytes Word
– Maximum Memory size: 215 = 32,768 bytes
– Byte address
– Word address: address the lowest byte among three
continuous bytes, i.e. the smallest byte address as word
address
• Register
– 5 registers
– Each register is one word long

3
SIC Registers

4
SIC Data/Instruction Format
• Data Format
– Integer: 24-bit binary number, 2’s complement
– Character: 8-bit ASCII codes
– No floating-point number

• Instruction Format
– Only one format: two types of addressing

5
SIC Instruction Format
• Addressing Mode
– Direct: TA = address of Instruction Format
– Indexed: TA = address + (X)
• Instruction Set
– Register’s Load & Store: LDA, STA,, LDX, STX, … .etc.
– Integer Arithmetic: ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, … etc.
– Compare register A with a Word in memory: COMP
– Conditional Jump: JLT, JEQ, JGT, … etc.
– Subroutine Call and Return: JSUB and RSUB
• Input/Output
– One byte data transfer a time
– TD: Test Device
– RD: Read Data from Device
– WD: Write Data to Device
6
SIC/XE Hardware Feature
• Memory Structure
– Same as SIC
– Max. memory size is 220 = 1M bytes

• Registers:
– 5 registers are same as SIC
– 4 another register as following:

7
SIC/XE Data/Instruction Format
• Data Format
– Integer data type, Negative representation, Character data
type are same as SIC
– Floating-point data type: 48 bits, format is shown as
following:

– The range is ±.F * 2(E –1024), where bit S = 0 means positive,


else means negative.
– F is the value of Fraction, E is the value of Exponent

SIC/XE Instruction Set
• Instruction Set of SIC/XE
– All instructions present in SIC
– Another new instruction set includes
• New Register load and store operations: LDB, STS, … etc.
• Floating-point arithmetic: ADDF, SUBF, DIVF, MULF…
• Register to Register moving: RMO
• Register to register arithmetic: ADDR, SUBR, MULR, DIVR
• Supervisor Call: SVC
– Input/Output
• Using byte stream is same as SIC
• SIC/XE provides I/O instructions for I/O channel, they are SIO:
start I/O channel, TIO: Test I/O channel, and HIO: Halt I/O
channel
