The x86 includes the following instruction: IMUL op1, op2, immediate This instruction multiplies op2, which may be either register or memory, by the im- mediate operand value, and places the result in op1, which must be a register. There is no other three-operand instruction of this sort in the instruction set. What is the pos- sible use of such an instruction? (Hint: Consider indexing.)

Write down the machine code of the following assembly instructions for 8088/8086 processor inthe space on the right of each instruction. You can use the handout given to you for assembling theinstructions. AnswerMOV DS, AX; 8ED8XOR DI, DI;MOV DI, 1600;MOV CX, 256;SUB AL, AL;
Explain what happens when the instruction mov ax,[bx] is executed.
Write the assembly code to perform the functionality of a "ret" instruction without using return. 1. Write the first instruction required to perform the functionality of a return instruction. Hint: Do not use a 'pop' instruction as that would modify a register or memory which return does not do, but consider what a pop does besides that. 2. Write the second instruction required to perform the functionality of a return instruction. Hint: jmp
This question assumes the machine architecture at the right. Note the stack pointer register, SP, is not part of the register file. SEL is a multiplexor used to select one of the inputs to the ALU. Assume memory addresses require only one memory cycle to fetch or store (unlike the 68000). MAR Register File (RO-RI5) MDR Show the machine code control IR constants sequence of an instruction that will set a block of from 1 to 127 memory locations to zero. The size of the block is in RO and the address of the block is in R1. Assume the instruction fetch sequence is the same as in Question 4 and start with the next step. R0 and R1 can change in the execution of the sequence. SEL PC SP ALU TEMP Status
*ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE* A subtraction instruction takes two operands, subtracts the first from the second, and the result goes into the second. Write a 16-bit subtraction instruction, where... The first operand is stored at the memory address contained within the %edx register. (NOTE: To be clear, the %edx register contains the memory address OF the operand, not the operand itself! Recall the syntax of "indirect addressing," to use here.) The second operand -- also where the result shall be stored -- is stored directly in the 16-bit %bp register.
What is the addressing mode of the following instruction? ADD [BX],DI Select one: a. b. d. e. Register addressing mode Base plus index addressing mode Relative base plus index addressing mode Relative register addressing mode Indirect addressing mode
Write one 8086 assembly code for the operation described. Assume that this is to be assembled in TASM. Use only square brackets to indicate memory operation. Operation note: all numbers are decimal Assembly code 1. bl becomes the sum of bl and 44 2. cl becomes the sum of cl plus data pointed by temp 3. AX becomes the difference of AX-SP 4. Subtract 1 from BH witout using the sub instruction 5. The data pointed by bx becomes the sum of that byte plus al + carry flag 6. CL becomes the difference of CL-3-carry flag

Immediateb. Directc. Indirectd. Indexed
Example: content of memory at address 3AF is 632Eu. The content of memory at address 32E# is 849FH- a. What is the instruction that will be fetched and execute. b. Show the binary operation that will be performed in AC when the instruction is executed. c. Give the contents of registers PC, AR, DR, AC, and IR at the end of instruction cycle.
Orthogonality means that an instruction set has a "backup" instruction that can be used instead of any other instruction that does the same thing. It's up to you to prove or disprove what I think.
Please write down the microinstructions to implement the instruction MOV R0, [R1], moving the contents of the memory cell pointed by R1 tothe register R0. Please add a short but significant explanation to each single microinstruction. olve this question in great detail explaining every single bit of info as i'm a complete beginner and i need to understand how to solve questions of this type. also provide small examples of how the solution would differ if the question was slightly altered. THANK YOU!
