| - | ====== ALF Computer 32 ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Architecture ===== | ||
| - | The Alfy ASM language is the assembly language for the ALF32 Computer. This virtual CPU has: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * A Harvard Architecture (Program RAM and Data RAM are separate) | ||
| - | * 32 bits instructions | ||
| - | * 64 registers that are 32 bits wide (r0 to r63) | ||
| - | * 49 KB of RAM | ||
| - | * 49 KB of Program RAM | ||
| - | |||
| - | <note>All RAM accesses must be 4 Byte aligned</note> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Simulation ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Alfy ASM is simulated using [[http://www.cs.colby.edu/djskrien/CPUSim/|CPUSim]] version 4. To use the simulator: | ||
| - | - Download [[http://www.cs.colby.edu/djskrien/CPUSim/CPUSim4.0.9.zip|CPUSim]] version 4 | ||
| - | - Download the [[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexandruradovici/alf-alfy-asm-language-public/master/alf_computer32.cpu|alf_computer32.cpu]] | ||
| - | - Load it into the simulator | ||
| - | |||
| - | To run a simulation, you may run it in interactive or non-interactive mode. | ||
| - | |||
| - | {{ :alf:res:cpusim.png?600 |}} | ||
| - | |||
| - | Read the [[http://www.cs.colby.edu/djskrien/CPUSim/Version4InstallationInstructions.txt|installation instructions]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Interactive Mode ==== | ||
| - | To run CPUSim, open a shell and write | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | java -classpath .:richtextfx-fat-0.6.10.jar cpusim.Main -m alf_computer32.cpu -t file.asm | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | This will open the UI, load the AlfyComputer_32.cpu and the file.asm. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Non-Interactive Mode ==== | ||
| - | To run CPUSim, open a shell and write | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | java -classpath .:richtextfx-fat-0.6.10.jar cpusim.Main -c -m alf_computer32.cpu -t file.asm | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | This will load the alf_computer32.cpu and run the file.asm. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Running a program ===== | ||
| - | After loading a machine and a program, to run it: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * In the menu bar, go to //Execute// and select //Assemble & load//. This will assemble the program and load it into the program memory | ||
| - | * In the Menu bar, go to //Execute// and select //Debug//. This will switch the UI into debug mode. There you can select several options: | ||
| - | * //Start Over// - restart the program | ||
| - | * //Go// - run the program | ||
| - | * //Step by Instr// - go forward one instruction in the program | ||
| - | * //Back one Instr// - go back one instruction in the program | ||

| - | |||
| - | ^ Instruction ^ Equivalent ^ | ||
| - | | set r1 //value// (16 bits) | r1 = value | | ||
| - | | mov r1 r2 | r1 = r2 | | ||
| - | | load r1 r2 | r2 = MEM [r1] | | ||
| - | | store r1 r2 | MEM [r1] = r2 | | ||
| - | | pload r1 r2 | r2 = PMEM [r1] | | ||
| - | | pstore r1 r2 | PMEM [r1] = r2 | | ||
| - | | push r1 | sp = sp - 4 \\ MEM [sp] = r1 | | ||
| - | | pop r1 | r1 = MEM [sp] \\ sp = sp + 4 | | ||
| - | | pushsp | temp = sp \\ sp = sp - 4 \\ MEM [sp] = temp | | ||
| - | | popsp | sp = MEM [sp] | | ||
| - | | jmp label | goto label | | ||
| - | | run label | sp = sp - 4 \\ MEM [sp] = ip \\ goto etiquete | | ||
| - | | ret | sp = sp + 4 \\ ip = MEM [sp] | | ||
