NOTES:

*iAPX 88/10: The AX. BX. ex and DX registers can be used as four 16-bit

registers, or as eight 8-bit registers. With the index and pointer registers, this

gives eight 16-bit registers, or eight 8-bit and four 16-bit registers.

Z80: Each of the BC, DE; and HL registers can be used as two 8-bit registers

or a single 16-bit register. The A register is an eight bit accumulator. The alternate register set can be used for exchanges only (general logic instruc- tions are not supported by the alternate register set).

**For string instructions only..

used as eight 8-bit accumulators for byte operations. In addition to their general register functions, the pointer and index registc:;rs also serve as address registers. The SI and 01 registers function as the source and destination indexes for the string operations. The Stack Pointer register (SP) is used in stack operations, and the BP register is a base pointer for stack relative Based Addressing modes frequently used in high level

language programming. The four 16-bit segment regis- ters CS, OS, SS and ES, provide memory segmentation expanding the address space to one megabyte.

The iAPX 88 uses a four clock basic bus cycle. The nor- mal memory access time is 460 nsec. To use memories slower than this, wait states of 200 nsec can be added. Using one wait state produces a memory access time of 660 nsec. Adding one wait state to the iAPX 88 reduces the throughput only approximately 10DJo because wait states are partially hidden by the queue. For a non- queued machine such as the Z80, the throughput will typically be reduced about 20DJo.

The iAPX 88/10 instruction set operates on bits, BCD digits, ASCII digits, 8-bit bytes, 16-bit words, and signed or unsigned integers. Many of the two operand instructions allow both operands to reside in registers, or one in a register and one in memory. The order of the operands is interchangeable, and the location of either source operand may serve as the destination for the result. The arithmetic instructions include 8- or 16-bit Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide and Compare of signed or unsigned integer values. The iAPX 88 instructions are identical to those of the iAPX 86 providing complete software compatibility. Although this report considers only single processor systems, the iAPX 88 has the unique compatibility with the 8087 numeric data proc- essor to extend the data types to include 32-bit integers as well as short (32-bit), long (64-bit), and extended (80-bit) floating point numbers, and decimal numbers of up to 18 digits. Adding an 8087 also adds 68 addi- tional instructions and eight 80-bit registers.

Twenty-four addressing modes are available to directly or indirectly access data and operands. These modes allow from one to four component addressing using combinations of segment, base, and index registers, with optional 8- or 16-bit displacements. The string instructions provide auto increment and auto,decrement addressing, memory to memory operations, and have.an optional repeat prefix for automatically repeating the string instruction without re-fetching the opcode from memory.

Like the iAPX 86, the iAPX 88 has two modes of opera- tion. In the minimum mode, the iAPX 88 supports the hold/hold acknowledge protocol to enable bus control to be transferred to another bus master such as a DMA controller. In the maximum mode it supports two re- quest/grant lines, each of which can support multiple bus masters for multiprocessor designs using the 8087 Numeric Data Processor and/or the 8089 I/O Processor (iAPX 88/20, iAPX 88/21, iAPX 88/11). This mode also adds support for multiprocessor configurations and Multibus interface.

The iAPX 88 provides nonmaskable software (internal) interrupts and maskable or nonmaskable hardware (ex- ternal) interrupts. The interrupt structure supports up to 256 different interrupt types using an interrupt vector table located in memory.
