a. When translated to machine code, a branch instruction uses its last twelve bits to specify an offset in words. This is unlike an LDR instructions, which uses the last eight bits of the instruction to specify an offset in bytes. Why does a branch instruction provide an offset in words and not bytes b. Why does the assembler require the literal pool

Consider the instruction ADD R1, M (R1 = R1 + [M]). M is the memory address of the operand. It is a two-word instruction – first word is the op-code and the second word is the address of the operand. Give the RTL description for the complete execution (including fetch phase) of the instruction.
A simple two-pass assembler does the following in the first pass: A. It allocates space for the literals. B. It computes the total length of the program. C. It builds the symbol table for the symbols and their values. D. It generates code for all the load and store register instructions. E. None of the above.
QuedT: Choose the correct answer: [ Opcode, funct3 and funct7/6 in instruction format are used to identify the: (a) function. (b) instruction. (e) branch. (d) memory address. The register that hold the address of the current instruction being executed is called: (a) saved register. (b) global pointer. (e) stack pointer. (d) program counter. Placing the executable file into the memory for execution by the processor is the role of (a) assembler. (b) linker. (e) loader. (d) compiler. The part which responsible for transmitting the data to/from the processor is: (a) control unit. (b) Datapath. (c) data bus. (d) memory. Parallel hardware cannot be used for faster division because: (a) subtraction is conditional on sign of remainder. (b) multiplication is conditional on sign of remainder. (c) subtraction is conditional on sign of divisor. (d) multiplication is conditional on sign of divisor. we cannot slower the clock cycle to fit the floating-point adder algorithm into one clock cycle…
