Assignment for Computer Architecture
The assignment is to create a MIPS program that demonstrates that the associative law fails in addition for floating point numbers (single or double precision). You only need to demonstrate it for single precision. Remember the associative law is a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c.
The program’s output should look something like the following where the xxx’s are the numbers you chose. The resulting numbers may be different than mine depending on your choice of a, b, and c.
Using a = xxx, b = xxx, and c = xxx
a + (b + c) = 0
(a + b) + c = 1
The key is to have two of the number large (one positively and one negatively but equal in magnitude) floating point numbers and the third floating point number very small in comparison.
As a side note, the associative law will also fail for multiplication for floating point numbers, but you do not need to demonstrate that.
Please don't forget to include comments in this code
The following is accurate if a transistor on an integrated circuit chip is 2 microns in size or smaller: How much bigger will the transistor become in two years, according to Moore's Law? What significance does Moore's Law have for computer programming?
Draw block diagrams to implement a 4 to 1 with 4 bits multiplexer. The data input lines are 4 bits
wide. Please decide how many selects do you need. And write the final equation for inputs and
output in both your report and block diagram. Do the simulation and save the screenshot into your
report.
