In a load instruction, the effective address is obtained by
A) Retriving the address from a register in the processor
B) Adding the PC to an offset
C)Adding a Register to an offset
D) None of the above
Adding a Register to an offset
load instruction adds register to offset to get effective address in MIPS.
Answer: C
In a load instruction, the effective address is obtained by A) Retriving the address from a...
When a branch is taken, the address of the next instruction to execute is computed by A) Adding the PC to an offset B)Concatenating an immediate field to the current PC C) None of the above D)Adding the immediate to a general purpose register
Compute the effective address and the content of ACC (accumulator) for a load instruction of a 1-address machine for each type of addressing modes using the following assumptions The load instruction is of length 4 bytes, the first byte is for op ode and mode and the other two bytes contain the value 90 for an address or an immediate value ? The load instruction is stored in locations 12-15 The register (say R1)contains the value 800; The location 800...

Modify the circuit to support a MFCC instruction. MFCC Rd instruction: Move From Condition Codes MFCC copies into the four rightmost bits of Rd the values of the ALU signals Carry (C), Overflow (O), Zero (Z) and Negative (N) as they were set by the previous R- type instruction. The remaining 28 bits of Rd are set to zero. Describe the changes and additions needed for the single-cycle MIPS processor datapath and control to support this instruction. Hints: 1) MFCC...

What does the instruction jal do? It populates the PC with the address given by the input. It saves the current PC (plus 4 bytes) to the $ra register and the populates the PC with the address given by the input. It populates the PC counter with the word currently stored in the $ra register. It allocates the input number of bytes (provided as an immediate value) onto the stack. 1 points QUESTION 6 What is a function pointer?...
Question 3: ARM Processor a) What is the number of bits in a general-purpose register (e.g., R1) of the ARM Cortex-M4 processor (CPU)? b) What is the number of bits in a memory address for the ARM processor architecture? c) What is the number of bits in an assembly instruction for the ARM Thumb-2 instruction set? d) Consider the memory map used with the TM4C123 microcontroller shown below. If the stack is in data memory, what is the initial address...

A C program has been compiled into the Atmel AVR assembly language. The following instruction, which is located at address 0x002A, is executed: i.) What is the binary value contained in the instruction register (IR) when the instruction is executed? ii.) What is the hexadecimal value of the program counter (PC) when the instruction is executed? iii.) If register r1 = 0x40 and register r2 = 0x02 prior to executing the instruction, what are the contents of r1 and r2...
