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. We wish to compare the performance of two different machines: M1 and M2. The following measurements have been made on these machines:   Program Time on M1 Time on M2 1 10 seconds 5 seconds 2 3 seconds 4 seconds Which machine is faster for each program, and by how much?   2. For M1 and M2 of problem 1, the following additional measurements are made:. Find the instruction execution rate (instructions per second) for each machine when running program 1.   Program Instructions executed on M1 Instructions executed on M2 1 200 x 106 160 x 106   3. For M1 and M2 of problem 1, if the clock rates are 200 MHz and 300 MHz, respectively, find the CPI for program 1 on both machines using the data provided in problems 1 and 2.   4. You are going to enhance a machine, and there are two possible improvements: either make multiply instructions run four times faster than before or make memory access instructions run two times faster than before. You…
1. Develop a mathematical model for measuring performance based on overall memory access time with a neat diagram for the following memory design and derive the formula to calculate the Overall Memory Access Time. Main Memory : 1 Internal Cache : 1 External Cache: 1 Register S and Register B have fastest access time: Data Search order [ Registers – Internal Cache – External Cache – Memory] [Hint: Register access time is considered negligible]
1.BL=00, after instruction DEC BL is executed, CF =? 2.CH=80H; after ROL CH, 1; CH=?
