A.

Explanation of Solution

Data movement instructions:

  • The different instructions are been grouped as “instruction classes”.
  • The instructions in a class performs same operation but with different sizes of operand.
  • The “Mov” class denotes data movement instructions that copy data from a source location to a destination.
  • The class has 4 instructions that includes:
    • movb:
      • It copies data from a source location to a destination.
      • It denotes an instruction that operates on 1 byte data size.
    • movw: 
      • It copies data from a source location to a destination.
      • It denotes an instruction that operates on 2 bytes data size.
    • movl:
      • It copies data from a source location to a destination.
      • It denotes an instruction that operates on 4 bytes data size.
    • movq:
      • It copies data from a source location to a destination.
      • It denotes an instruction that operates on 8 bytes data size.

Unary and Binary Operations:

  • The details of unary operations includes:
    • The single operand functions as both source as well as destination.
    • It can either be a memory location or a register.
    • The instruction “incq” causes 8 byte element on stack top to be incremented.
    • The instruction “decq” causes 8 byte element on stack top to be decremented.
  • The details of binary operations includes:
    • The first operand denotes the source.
    • The second operand works as both source as well as destination.
    • The first operand can either be an immediate value, memory location or register.
    • The second operand can either be a register or a memory location.

Jump Instruction:

  • The “jump” instruction causes execution to switch to an entirely new position in program.
  • The “label” indicates jump destinations in assembly code.
  • The “je” instruction denotes “jump if equal” or “jump if zero”.
    • The comparison operation is performed...

B.

Explanation of Solution

Local values stored on stack:

  • The instruction “movq %rax, (%rsp)” moves value of register “%rax” into stack location “%rsp”...

C.

Explanation of Solution

Program cannot store all local values in callee-saved registers:

  • The supply of callee-saved registers has been used up after saving six local variables...

The below single-cycle processor diagram can be used for your reference. Note: A new decoded signal output “Tzero” is added for executing “bne” instruction. The signal definition is described below: Instruction Opcode New Main Control Output Signal beq 00100b (4d) Tzero = 0 bne 00101b (5d) Tzero = 1   At the moment of 1950 ns, the below values (0, 1 or X) are:instruction[31-26] = instruction[25-21] = instruction[20-16] =instruction[15-0] =  Read data 1 output =  Read data 2 output =  RegDst =  ALUSrc =  MemtoReg =  RegWrite =…
