Create a professional, text-only PowerPoint presentation for a college-level computer architecture class titled 'Functional Categories of Instructions in Computer Architecture'. Include concise, well-structured text on each slide — no images, icons, or graphics. The slides should be: 1. Title Slide – 'Functional Categories of Instructions' with subtitle 'Computer Architecture – Chapter 3.1.2'. 2. Introduction – Explain why instruction categorization is important in understanding CPU design and functionality. 3. Data Transfer Instructions – Define and describe purpose; examples: MOVE, LOAD, STORE, XCHG, PUSH, POP. 4. Computational Instructions – Describe arithmetic and logical operations; examples: ADD, SUB, AND, OR, NOT; note ALU’s role and condition codes. 5. Control Transfer Instructions – Explain sequential flow alteration, conditional/unconditional branching; examples: JMP, BNZ, CALL, RET. 6. Input/Output Instructions – Explain I/O operations and difference between separate and memory-mapped I/O; examples: IN, OUT. 7. System Instructions – Discuss privileged operations for OS control; examples: cache control, interrupt masking, halting system. 8. Miscellaneous Instructions – Cover unique or idle operations like NOP; mention architecture-specific functions. 9. Summary – Emphasize hardware-software equivalence, minimal instruction requirements (NAND/NOR, data transfer, control), and design trade-offs.
Text-only PPT for college comp arch class covers functional instruction types (data transfer, compute, control, I/O, system, misc), their roles in CPU design, examples, and key concepts like ALU, bran
This title slide introduces the topic "Functional Categories of Instructions" from Chapter 3.1.2 of Computer Architecture. It serves as a section header outlining the classification of instructions by function.

The slide outlines key data transfer instructions in assembly language for moving data between registers, memory, and the stack. It covers MOVE for register-to-register or memory transfers, LOAD from memory to register, STORE from register to memory, XCHG for exchanging operands, and PUSH/POP for stack operations.

The slide "Computational Instructions" outlines how the ALU performs arithmetic operations like ADD and SUB, as well as logical operations such as AND, OR, and NOT. It also covers setting condition codes—including zero, carry, and overflow—for enabling branching decisions.
Source: Perform arithmetic and logical ops via ALU; set condition codes.
Control Transfer Instructions alter the sequential flow of execution using branches and calls, including unconditional jumps like JMP and conditional branches like BNZ if non-zero. They also support subroutines via CALL and RET, enabling loops, decisions, and functions.

This slide explains how I/O operations manage data transfer between devices and the CPU using two methods: separate I/O with dedicated IN and OUT ports, and memory-mapped I/O via memory addresses. Examples include IN commands moving data from devices to registers and OUT commands from registers to devices.
Source: Handle I/O operations.
System instructions involve privileged operations essential for OS control, which require supervisor (kernel) mode to execute. These operations include cache control (flush/invalidate), interrupt masking, and halting the system.

This slide on Miscellaneous Instructions covers unique or idle operations, including NOP for pipeline delays. It also addresses architecture-specific features like string operations and bit manipulation, along with handling special cases.

The slide summarizes hardware-software equivalence through instruction categories, highlighting a minimal set including NAND/NOR, data transfer, and control flow, while discussing design trade-offs between simplicity and performance. It emphasizes that mastering these categories is key to efficient CPU architecture, urging review of examples for the next class.
• Hardware-software equivalence via instruction categories
Key to efficient CPU architecture!
Closing: Master the categories. Action: Review examples for next class.
