Lab 1 Details

• For Lab 1 design an ISA. Get the complete handout here, after class. For Part A, propose and describe an ISA. For Part B produce an assembler, emulator and program in your ISA to perform basic graphics analysis and manipulation.
• Part A: Provide a complete description of your ISA, and each instruction.
• Turn in instructions for Part A:
  • Bring a paper copy of your ISA description and list and description of instructions to the beginning of class (2pm) Monday, Jan 10. Please list all your group members on this paper copy in the following format:

    Jane Doe: A01123443 : jdoe@ucsd.edu
    John Bach: A01234678 : jsbach@ucsd.edu
    Agent Smith: A15123555 : asmith@ucsd.edu
    

• Part B: Turn in:
  • (1) The complete description of your ISA, and each instruction.
  • (2) An assembler, that consumes your assembly program and outputs the binary format of the program to be executed.
  • (3) An emulator that reads in the binary format of your program and an input string, and emulates the execution of your program outputing the correct string, and prints it out.
  • (4) The assembly language program from your parser to implement the text formating algorithm.
  • (5) Answers to all the questions asked in the Lab 1 handout.

  You will need to turn in electronically your assembly language program, the assembler, and the emulator, so that we may run it and determine that it is full working. Instructions on how to do this will be posted shortly.

• Here is a sample set input and output that you can test your program on. Your program will read this directly out of "memory" at specific locations -- more on that in the full Lab 1 directions (pdf file).
  • Input data
  • Output data

Additional details for Lab1

• The assembly program file you hand create should should be HEAVILY commented (think every line). This should be read in by your assembler. Read here about the steps for your Assembler
• Your assembler should output a binary of your program as a hexadecimal text file. A sample file (that isn't any solution I know of for our assignment) can be found here
• Read here about the steps for your Emulator
• Don't forget your program must terminate with a halt instruction.
• You may not do ANYTHING in the same instruction as a load or store (no math, comparison, etc). Also a single load or store can only access 8 bits!
