3.2 Addressing Modes

Addressing modes and effective address calculation methods are shown in table 3.2. When a

location in virtual memory space is accessed (AT in MMUCR = 1), the effective address is

translated into a physical memory address. If multiple virtual memory space systems are selected

(SV in MMUCR = 0), the least significant bit of PTEH is also referenced as the access ASID. For

details, see section 7, Memory Management Unit (MMU).

A constant is added to Rn after instruction

operand, 4 for a longword operand, 8 for a
quadword operand.
