1. ISAs a. IdentifythefollowingaspectsasmoreRISC-likeormoreCISC-like i. Variable-lengthinstructions ii. Memory-memoryoperations iii. Load-storearchitectures iv. Regularinstructionformats v. Manyinstructions vi. Fewinstructions b. IdentifyifthefollowingchoicesareISAchoices,ABI(butnotISA)choices,or micro-architecturechoices(notethatsomeofthesemayhavemultiple answers): i. Numberofnamedregisters ii. Numberofcyclesaninstructiontakestoexecute iii. Whetherornotimmediateoperands canbeuseddirectlyinarithmetic instructions iv. Whichregisternumberisthestackpointer v. Which,ifany,registersnumbersproduceconstants(e.g.,0or-1) vi. Whichregisternumberspassargumentstofunctioncalls vii. Whichregisternumbersaretemporaryorsaved viii. Addressableaddressrangeformemoryoperations ix. TypeofadderusedintheALU x. WhichinstructionsupdatethePC xi. Whichbitsofaninstructioncorrespondtotheopcodeoranoperand xii. Numberoffunctionalunitsintheprocessor
2. MIPS a. IdentifythreeproductsnotmentionedinlecturethatuseaMIPS-based processor. b. MIPSdoesnothaveatruemov instruction (mov dst, src #dest=src). Whywouldsuchasimple,basicinstructionnotbeincludedinaRISCISA? List threearithmeticorlogicalinstructionsorinstructionsequencesnotmentioned duringlecturethatproducethesameeffectasamov instruction. c. Whatdoesthefollowingprogramdo(giveadescriptioninEnglishsentences)? xor $1, $1, $2 xor $2, $1, $2 xor $1, $1, $2 d. Assumethatvariables a,b,c,andd aremappedtoregisters$s0,$s1,$s2, and$s3,respectively.WriteaMIPSprogramthatimplementsa = b * 2 + c/4 + d%8 usingonlyadd,sub,addi, and,andi,or,ori,sll,andsrl instructions.Sinceb,c,andd mustnotbeoverwritten,useasmanytemporary registers($t0-$t9) asneeded.
3. SPIM/MARs a. ReadtheintroductiontoSPIMsimulatorinP&HA.9.Notethatyou probablywill notunderstandeverythinginthissection,yet,sincewehavehavenotcovered thecorrespondingmaterial,butitwillprovideyouwithareasonableoverview. However,youshouldbeabletoanswer:doesSPIMsimulatetheABI,ISA,and/or microarchitectureofMIPS? b.
