DJIS Instruction Set - tokumei - 12-19-2013

I came up with my own standardized instruction set for any future CPUs I will build, including ones for REDbit. The instruction set is as follows:
  • Function: 4 bits
    Register A: 4 bits
    Register B: 4 bits
    Register C: 4 bits
    Condition: 3 bits
    Line A: x bits
    Line B: x bits
    PROG Value: y bits

Functions:
  • 0000 - ADD (C = A + B)
    0001 - SUBTRACT (C = A - B)
    0010 - SHR (C = A + B >>)
    0011 - RAND (C = rand())
    0100 - OR (C = A OR B)
    0101 - NOR (C = A NOR B)
    0110 - AND (C = A AND B)
    0111 - NAND (C = A NAND B)
    1000 - XOR (C = A XOR B)
    1001 - XNOR (C = A XOR B)
    1010 - == (C = A == B)
    1011 - != (C = A != B)
    1100 - < (C = A < B)
    1101 - > (C = A > B)
    1110 - <= (C = A <= B)
    1111 - >= (C = A >= B)

Registers:
  • 0000 - FALSE
    0001 - TRUE
    0010 - -1
    0011 - 0
    0100 - 1
    0101 - PROG (Program Input)
    0110 - USERA (User Input A)
    0111 - USERB (User Input B)
    1000 - GPR0
    1001 - GPR1
    1010 - GPR2
    1011 - GPR3
    1100 - GPR4
    1101 - GPR5
    1110 - GPR6
    1111 - GPR7

Conditions:
  • 000 - NEXT (Goto next line)
    001 - GOTO (Goto A)
    010 - COND (If {test register} goto A else goto B)
    011 - USER (If {user control} goto A else goto B)*
    100 - PNEXT (Prompt user, then 000)**
    101 - PGOTO (Prompt user, then 001)
    110 - PCOND (Prompt user, then 010)
    111 - PUSER (Prompt user, then 011)
*{user control} is a test value controlled by the user (ie. with a lever)
**Prompt tells the interpreter to halt until the user tells it to continue (ie. with a button)

How are you going to implement (conditional) branching?

That's a good point-mine currently focuses on the part that controls the ALU/registers. I'll add that too. Otherwise, opinions?

I still dont get why people put in XNOR, XOR, NAND and all those in the IS. What, you will plot entire classes on a screen on mc? Not really? You will do parity-check? Heck no Big Grin do only reason I can think of is to fill space in, or make it feel more standart/complete. When I do CPU's I try to put only these: ADD, SUB, AND, NOR, shift left and right. Sometimes I do shift left thru program, since it is just two lines of code (one if you have dual read). You could try and make the IS compacter or make use of space somehow, with more useful stuff (not like hardware mul/div but maybe more miscellenous stuff that enchance the user experience and convenience. Other than this, man, such a well designed and conplete IS. I like it, I wish I could design such ISs Big Grin great work Smile


RE: DJIS Instruction Set - tokumei - 12-22-2013

@WrytXander You make a lot of good points, but the reason I add those extra functions is to make any common logic gate/function accessible with just 1 line of code. Although there really was no need for for XNOR/NAND, I put them in because they would otherwise take 2 lines of code to perform, which would reduce the performance of the CPU. You could also argue "Where's the left shift," but you can still perform a left-shift with just one line of code. All you have to do to is add the value to itself, which eliminates the need for an explicit left-shift function.

Where is the memory load/store commands?!?!
