should have read Chapter 1, Chapter 3 (Sections 3.1 to 3.3) and Chapter 2
(Sections 2.1 to 2.6)
2. Please do the
"Assignment #0 -- Getting Familiar with Spim". The text of the
assignment is on the Web. You DON'T have to turn it in.
3. Convert 255 into a 16-bit
two's complement binary number. Give the answer in hexadecimal.
4. Convert -512 into a 16-bit
two's complement binary number. Give the answer in hexadecimal.
5. What decimal number does
this two's complement binary number represent
1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1001 1011 ?
6. What binary number does
this 32-bit two's complement hexadecimal number represent: 0fff ffff?
What decimal number does it represent? (you can use an expression of the form
2**x + y for the decimal number if you find it convenient)?
7. What binary number does this 32-bit two's
complement hexadecimal number represent: 8000 0000 ?
What decimal number does it represent? (you can use an expression of the form
2**x + y for the decimal number if you find it convenient)?
8. Assume an 8-bit register
and a 2's complement representation of integers.
·
What are the largest
positive number and the smallest negative number that you can represent (give
representations in 2's complement and their values in decimal).
·
Give examples of adding
two positive numbers with and without overflow and of subtracting a negative
number from a positive number with and without overflow. Show the 2's
complement representation of the operands and the result in a manner similar to
what is done in the book pp 161.
