Two students wrote interrupt service routines for an assignment. Both service routines did exactly the same work, but the first student accidentally used RET at the end of his routine, while the second student correctly used RTI. There are three errors that arose in the first student's program due to his mistake. Describe any two of them.

Write a code sequence that enables the input change notification interrupt for changes on inputs RA4 and RB12 (assume that both have been previously configured as inputs).
Write (in pseudocode) an implementation of virtual clocks, including the queuing and management of timer requests for the kernel and applications. Assume that the hardware provides three timer channels.
An ADC produces an interrupt request and the interrupt service routine runs and acquires a burst of data of 10 data values into a global array. What is a good way for the ISR to tell the main program there is new data in the array? Set a global flag variable. Do nothing. The main program has to check if the data array has changed. Pass the array as a return value from the ISR. Clear the interrupt flag in the ADC.
Write a C program that creates two child processes. The parent process and the child processes should be able to print their process ID and print out "parent" for the parent process and "child" for the child processes. Additionally, each process initiates a counter with 0 and a loop to increment the counter by 1 in each iteration up to 10. Each iteration should last of one second and in each second, each process prints out the counter value. The following is a sample output: parent 6555 process: counter=1 child 6556 process: counter=1 child 6557 process: counter=1 parent 6555 process: counter=2 child 6556 process: counter=2 child 6557 process: counter=2 In this example, all processes output a line after each other alternatingly. Think about why the order of some output could be swapped on the terminaland the resulting text could be mixed (write one sentence). Include the code in the report.
For your discussion question response, please provide a response to each of the following questions. Make sure that you include the question followed by your answer to the question in your posting. In the description of the Hack machine language in chapter 4, it is stated that in well-written programs a C-instruction that may cause a jump should not contain a reference to M, and vice versa. Discuss why this should be avoided. Research the concept of interrupts in a computer. You may want to look into how the Z80 microprocessor handles interrupt. A good source of Z80 information is Zaks, R. (1980). Programming the Z80. Sybex. Download the pdf. FYI, The Z80 8 bit microprocessor has been in production for forty years. Knowledge of the Z80 is a great lead-in for further study in more complicated machines.

Our second task is to check the sign bit of a number. There are many ways to do this, but I want the least expensive method in terms of the number of instructions. This generally means avoiding the use of instructions that has immediate operands. To get to the instruction that we need to use, we first need to examine the ALU itself. Which flag (the corresponding ALU tunnel name in parentheses) in the ALU reflects the sign bit of the result of a computation regardless of the computation, with the exception of the instructions dec and inc? S (Sout) only add and subtract instructions affect S (Sout) O (Oout) C (Cout) B (Bout)
Answer questions (a) and (b) below: (a) How many times exactly is the code block below executed? For (i = 1, n) { For (j = 1, i) { For (k = 1, j) { code block } } } Hint: You have to start with n=1, then make assumption what you make expect for any given n = N, and check if the formula you found works for n =N+1. This is what we call prove by induction. (b) What is the theta value of this code segment?
A process may be stopped dead in its tracks by using the "Interrupt" or "Traps" keyword.Explain both the Interrupt and Trap mechanics, as well as the distinctions between the two.
For this homework assignment you are not allowed to use::MOVSB, MOVSW, MOVSD, CMPSB,CMPSW,CMPD,SCASB, SCASW, SCASD,STOSB, STOSW, STOSD, LODSB, LODSW, and LODSD. It is required that for each question write only one procedure that does the requested job. Only write the assembly part and avoid using directives. DO NOT USE IRVINE'S LIBRARY.Write a general-purpose program (only assembly code and no procedure call) that corrects two extra successive mistakenly entered characters that happened twice in a string. For example, in “Excellent time tooo listen to muuusic” program should remove the extra double oo and uu. Here is a sample call:. datastr1 BYTE “Excellent time tooo listen to muuusic”,0.code
Is interrupt service routine anything you've heard about before? Because of this, the interrupt service routine's last instructions utilize IRET instead of RET.
Using GUI Turbo Assembler, program using assembly language in real mode, the simulation of an ATM that displays a receipt with the breakdown of the amounts of bills, for a specific amount requested by the client. The user interface is programmed via direct access to the BIOS using the INT 10H interrupt for display; the INT 16H for the input of data. First, the customer is asked for the number of colones to be dispensed by the ATM. This amount is an integer greater than zero and less than sixty thousand (there are only bills for 1.000 , 2.000 , 5.000 , 10.000 and 20.000 colones). This screen gives you the option to end the program, or continue. On the second screen, the ATM shows a receipt in table format, containing the breakdown with as few nominations as possible, differentiating the bills with different colors. For example, if the user requests that the ATM dispenses 41.000 colones, the breakdown consists of two 20.000 bills and one 1.000 bill. Then it returns to the first screen,…
