Memory Space And Addressing Modes

The

80960SA

offers

linear

programming

environment so that all programs running on the

processor are contained in a single address space.

Maximum address space size is 4 Gigabytes (2

bytes).

For ease of use the 80960SA has a small number of

addressing modes, but includes all those necessary

to ensure efficient execution of high-level languages

such as C. Table 2 lists the memory addressing

modes.

Data Types

The 80960SA recognizes the following data types:

Numeric:

•

8-, 16-, 32- and 64-bit ordinals

•

8-, 16-, 32- and 64-bit integers

Non-Numeric:

•

Bit

•

Bit Field

•

Triple Word (96 bits)

•

Quad-Word (128 bits)

1.1.3

Large Register Set

The 80960SA programming environment includes a

large number of registers. In fact, 32 registers are

available at any time. The availability of this many

registers greatly reduces the number of memory

accesses required to perform algorithms, which

leads to greater instruction processing speed.

There are two types of general-purpose register:

local and global. The global registers consist of

sixteen 32-bit registers (g0 though g15). These

registers perform the same function as the general-
