91.305 Archlab Practice Problems

To do the Part B of the Archlab assignment, use the text starting at page 280, section 4.3, “Sequential Y86 Implementations.” For this part of the assignment, you will not need to go beyond page 305.

The following practice problems are recommended, ideally before you start coding up the HCL code in seq-full.hcl. The answers to these problems are in the book, so if you get stuck, look at the answers to help figure out what’s going on.

The following three deal with execution of particular instructions:

• 4.9, page 285
• 4.10, page 288
• 4.13, page 289b

The following problems are warm-ups for writing HCL code:

• 4.14, page 300
• 4.15, page 301
• 4.16, page 301
• 4.18, page 302
• 4.19, page 304
• 4.20, page 304

Before you start coding, you should make tables like those in Figures 4.16–4.19 (pages 283 and 284) for the IADDL and LEAVE instructions.
