Assembly language is converted into executable machine code by a utility program referred to as an assembler; the conversion process is referred to as assembly or assembling the code. Assembly language uses a mnemonic to represent each low-level machine operation or op-code. The questions in this assignment deal with converting a high-level language into assembly instructions. Therefore, you need to know the instruction set and its structure. 1. For the following C code, what are the corresponding MIPS (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages) assembly instructions? X=(Y-Z)-(V+W) where V, W, X, Y, Z are assigned to registers $s0, $1, $s2, $s3, and $4, respectively. You may need temporary register(s) for this question. 2. For the following C code, what are the corresponding MIPS assembly instructions? B=C+A[7]; where (B) represented by $s0, C by $s1, and (A base address) represented by $$2 (temporary register(s) may be needed).

An excellent illustration of the use of abstraction in computer architecture is provided by the execution of instruction set architecture. It is possible that making use of this tool will assist in reducing the amount of time and effort required to do a job. It would be helpful if you could explain what is meant by the phrases "two dimensions of abstraction" and "three dimensions of abstraction."
Abstraction is a key concept in computer organization and design, and one example of its use is seen in the implementation of instruction set architecture. It is able to process a large amount of data while simultaneously hiding data that isn't required for operation. Explain two characteristics of abstraction, then provide a definition of abstraction.
Compilers and assemblers have the ability to reorder assembler instructions in order to avoid pipeline dangers to the fullest degree that is practically possible. How similar or how unlike are the approaches used by assemblers and compilers when reordering instructions in assembly language?
It is necessary to transform mnemonics into binary machine code since the central processing units (CPUs) of microprocessors cannot grasp them in their natural state.
A compiler designer is trying to decide between two code sequences for a particular machine. The hardware designers have supplied the following facts: Instruction class CPI of the instruction class A 1 B 3 C 4 For a particular high-level language, the compiler writer is considering two sequences that require the following instruction counts: Code sequence Instruction counts (in millions) A B C 1 2 1 2 2 4 3 1 a. What is the CPI for each code sequence? b. Which code sequence is faster? By how much?
Convert the given code fragment to assembly code fragment, using only instructions of the following types. These instructions are generally discussed in class. Here X,Y,Z are any memory locations; R, R1, R2 are any general registers; L is a label in the code (you can use any names as labels, ex. L, L1, L2 etc. ). load X, R //copy contents of memory location X into R. store R, X //Store contents of R into Mem location X cmp R1, R2 //Compute R1-R2 and update condition codes; //throw away result of subtraction. jmp L //Jump to location L in the code. jmpp L //If P bit is 1, Jump to location L in the code add X, R //Add contents of X,R and store result in R; //Also update the condition codes. Be careful about what type of argument is allowed in the instruction (Memory or Register). Ex. the first argument of ADD instruction is memory, not register. Do Not…
The importance of abstraction in programming is shown by the widespread adoption of instruction set architecture. It could simplify difficult operations and get rid of extraneous data. Give me a definition of abstraction, and then list its two most important features.
Explain the differences between the following types of multiprocessing. Can you tell me the pros and cons of utilizing many CPUs at once?
Consider a Computer which has a memory which is capable of storing 4096 K words and each word in memory can be of size 32 bits. The computer supports a total of 6 addressingmodes, and it has 60 computer registers. The computer supports instructions, where each instruction consists of following fields: Mode Operation code Register Register Memory AddressGiven that each instruction will be stored in one memory word, discuss with a suitable diagram the format of instruction by specifying number of bits for each field of instruction. Discuss each field of instruction.
In summary, the following elucidates the concept of dynamic memory allocation.
Suppose that each of the 4 processors in a shared memory multi-processor system is rated at 400 MIPS. A program contains a purely sequential part that accounts for 22% of the program’s execution time on a single processor. The remaining code can be partitioned into three independent parts (A, B, and C). Running on a single processor, part A accounts for 30% of the program’s execution time, part B accounts for 18%, and part C accounts for 30%. What is the apparent MIPS rating for the program if it is run on the 4-processor system and the sequential part must be completed before any of the remaining independent parts (A, B or C) can run in parallel?
