Chapter 2.5, Problem 1QE
a.
Program Plan Intro
Instructions in Vole machine language:
Computer can understand only machine language, so the instruction must be given in vole machine language. It is an encoded language. The instructions are encoded by using total 16-bits that is also represented by hexadecimal digits. Instructions in vole machine consist of op-code and operation field of the register. First 4 bits are called the op-code and operation field has last 12 bits.

Given the binary format of an instruction as follows: 0000 1101 0110 1100 1010
1011 0001 0111
a. What assembly instruction does this correspond to?
b. If the PC + 4 = 0XA0BC32F4, what is the target address?
c. How many instructions forwards or backwards is that?
d. How many bytes is that in decimal?
0001 = Load AC from memory
0010 = Store AC to memory
0101 = Add to AC from memory
0011 = Load AC (the accumulator register) from an I/O device
0111 = Store AC to an I/O device
With these instructions, a particular I/O device is identified by replacing the 12-bit address portion with a 12-bit device number. Remember that a number ending with a small ‘h’ means the number is a hexadecimal number.
What is the hexadecimal string that expresses the following instructions?
Load AC from memory location 62h.
Add the contents of memory location 451h to AC.
Store AC to memory location 8h.
Store AC to I/O device number 8h.
1. Assume that the machine described in Appendix C uses memory-
mapped I/O and that the address B5 is the location within the printer
port to which data to be printed should be sent.
a. If register 7 contains the ASCII code for the letter A, what machine
language instruction should be used to cause that letter to be printed
at the printer?
b. If the machine executes a million instructions per second, how many
times can this character be sent to the printer in one second?
c. If the printer is capable of printing five traditional pages of text per
minute, will it be able to keep up with the characters being sent to
it in (b)?
