Question 1

What is the number of micro-steps required to process an ADD instruction in immediate mode?

  • 4
  • 6
  • 7

💡 Hint: Recall the breakdown of the immediate mode steps.

Question 2

True or False: In indirect mode, the instruction directly specifies the operand.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about where the operand is actually located in memory.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Assess the control signal requirements for implementing a new addressing mode where the operand comes from a dynamically determined address. What challenges might arise?

💡 Hint: Consider how dynamic addressing impacts processing speed and instruction cycle time.

Question 2

You are tasked with optimizing the computer architecture to minimize execution time for the ADD instruction in different modes. Identify strategies that could lower micro-step count.

💡 Hint: Think about how architectural changes can enhance performance and reduce latency.
