CPSC1050 Lab 4

This document provides instructions for Lab 4, which involves reviewing how a Super Simple CPU works and completing exercises related to low-level languages and assembly programming. Students are asked to trace assembly programs, including providing the values of registers and memory locations after each instruction for different inputs. They also trace and transform pseudocode to assembly language programs for the Super Simple CPU. The lab aims to develop an understanding of low-level programming concepts.

CPSC 1050: Lab 4

Lab 4: Low-level Languages

Lab Instructions

1. Open "Lab 7 Computer Cycling" (Lab7_Manual.pdf), "Lab 7 Computer Cycling"


(Lab7_Manual.pdf) "Lab 11 Low-Level Languages" (Lab11_Manual.pdf) and the related
Applet (Super Simple CPU).
2. Review the Activity part of the lab and learn how Super Simple CPU works.
3. Write your complete work to answer the following Lab Questions in a text editor (e.g.,
Microsoft Word). If there is a screenshot, it must be copied to your document.

Lab Questions

1. Lab 7 Computer Cycling (Lab7_Manual.pdf)


a. [2 points] Exercise 5
b. [2 points] Exercise 6

2. Lab 11 Low-Level Languages (Lab11_Manual.pdf)


a. [4 points] Exercise 1
b. [4 points] Exercise 3

3. [8 points] Given the following assembly program, consider three different values for
INPUT (1, 2, or 3). For each input value, trace the code by writing the values of
Accumulator, Memory (ONE), Memory (TWO), and OUTPUT in a table (shown below)
and recording their changes after each instruction. You should have 3 trace tables for 3
different values of input.
