PART B
(Answer one full question from each module, each question carries 14 marks)

Module -1
11 a) Write notes on SIC machine architecture 8
b) What are assembler directives? List any four assembler directives in SIC 6
machine.
12 a) Elucidate the architecture of SIC/XE machine 8
b) Compare the features of Standard SIC and SIC/XE architecture 6
Module -2
13 a) Write a sequence of instructions for SIC/XE to divide BETA by GAMMA, 5
setting ALPHA to the integer portion of the quotient and DELTA to the
remainder. Use register to-register instructions to make the calculation as
