Assignment # 01
Spring 2025
Please carefully read the following instructions before attempting the assignment.
RULES FOR MARKING
It should be clear that your assignment would not get any credit if:
The assignment is submitted after the due date.
The submitted assignment does not open, or the file is corrupted.
Strict action will be taken if the submitted solution is copied from any other student or the
internet.
You should consult the recommended books to clarify your concepts, as handouts are insufficient.
You are supposed to submit your assignment in Doc or Docx format.
Any other formats like scanned images, PDF, ZIP, RAR, PPT, BMP, etc. will not be accepted.
Topic Covered:
The objective of this assignment is to assess the understanding of students about:
- To enhance student knowledge of understanding machine instructions based on Assembly
language coding practices.
- Based on knowledge of different instruction type a student will be able to differentiate between
instructions.
- How RTL (Register Transfer Language) helps in understanding the process between coding and
hardware component.
Topics Covered
Lecture # 1 to Lecture # 12
NOTE
No assignment will be accepted via email after the due date (whether it is due to load shedding, internet
malfunctioning, etc.). Hence, refrain from uploading assignments within the last hour of the deadline. It is
recommended that the solution be uploaded at least two days before its closing date.
If you find any mistakes or confusion in the assignment (Question statement), please consult your instructor
before the deadline. After the deadline, no queries will be entertained in this regard.
For any query, feel free to email me at:

Consider the below given Pseudo Code which has been writtend for SRC (Simple RISC Computer)
processor.
Pseudo Code:
// Load values from memory
a = memory[100]
b = memory[104]
// Perform additions (both result in a + b)
sum1 = b + a
sum2 = a + b
// Perform bitwise NOT on the sum
negated_sum = NOT(sum2)
// Subtract the negated sum from the original sum
result = sum1 - negated_sum
// Store the final result in memory
memory[108] = result
// Halt execution
END
You are required to first carefully understand the given code and and then answer the following
questions.
a) By considering the programmer’s view of SRC architecture, find the final expression which is
being evaluated in the given code.
b) Fill the below given Table 1 by writing the missing instructions, instruction type and RTL
syntax for each missing instruction.
