Chapter 3.4, Problem 3.1PP
Program Plan Intro

Operand Specifiers:

  • The instructions may have more than one operands.
    • It specifies source values to perform an operation.
    • It also contains destination location into which result is to be placed.
  • The different types of operands provided could be classified into three types:
    • Immediate:
      • It is used for constant values.
      • It is written as “$” followed by integer.
      • The range of immediate values may differ based on instruction.
    • Register:
      • It denotes the contents of a register.
      • The 8-byte, 4-byte, 2-byte or 1-byte register’s low-order portions denote 64, 32, 16 or 8 bite respectively.
      • The notation “ra” denotes arbitrary register “a” and its value is indicated with reference “R[ra]”.
      • It views register set as an array R that is indexed by register identifiers.
    • Memory:
      • The “effective address” is used to access some memory location.
      • The notation “Mb[Addr]” denotes reference to b-byte value stored in memory starting at address “Addr”.

[1] ( Show your work. Show hoe you compute memory address by using the effective memory address computation. Assume the following values are stored at the indicated memory addresses and registers: Address Value 0x100 OxFF 0x104 OxAB 0x108 0x13 0x10c 0x11 Register %rax %rcx %rdx $0x108 (%rax) 4(%rax) 9(%rax, %rdx) 260(%rcx,%rdx) OxFC (,%rcx, 4) (%rax, %rdx, 4) Value 0x100 0x1 0x3 Fill in the following table showing the values for the indicated operands: Operand Value %rax 0x104
Problem Question 03 (CO3) [0.5 + 0.5 = 1]: Given below are the contents of several Intel 8086 registers and PHYSICAL memory addresses (ALL in hexadecimal): Registers: Memory Locations [Physical Address] = Contents [05000] = 3300 [06000] = 4444 [07000] = 5555 [95000] = 367A [96000] = 6666 [97000] = 10C5 DI = 3000 %3D BX = 3000 %3D ВР 3 С345 For the following instructions, determine the contents of AX after the each of the instruction has been executed: (а) MOV (b) MOV АХ, ВР АХ, [ВХ+DI] AX = AX
(d) You are working on a redesign of a simple 16-bit computer which supports at most 64 kilobytes of memory. Currently, memory is word-addressed and all memory accesses load or store a 16-bit value. For example, LDA Ox6502 loads a 16-bit value from address Ox6502 into register A. The change is to support additionally 8-bit accesses, thanks to an expanded machine language (already designed by a colleague) which now supports instructions such as: ; load 16 bits from addr 6502 into A ; load 8 bits from addr 6502 into A LDAW Ox6502 LDAB Ox6502 Outline, at a high level, how you would bring about this change in the CPU design, and mentioning any difficulties you expect to encounter.
