Practice Question from Instruction Format

1. A processor has 40 distinct instructions and 24 general purpose registers. A 32-bit


instruction word has an opcode, two register operands and an immediate operand.
What are the number of bits available for the immediate operand field ?
2. A computer uses a memory unit with 256K words of 32bits each. A binary
instruction code is stored in one word of memory. The instruction has 4 parts : an
indirect bit, an operation code, a register code part to specify one of 64 registers
and an address part.
a) How many bits are there in the operation code, the register code part and the
address part?
b) Draw the instruction word format and indicate the number of bits in each part.
c) How many bits are there in the data and address inputs of the memory?
3. A machine has a 32-bit architecture, with 1-word long instructions. It has 64
registers, each of which is 32 bits long. It needs to support 45 instructions, which
have an immediate operand in addition to two register operands. Assuming that
the immediate operand is an unsigned integer what is the maximum value of the
immediate operand ?

representation for negative numbers
1. Perform the arithmetic operations (+42) + (-13) and (-42) – (-13) using
binary signed 2’s complement representation for the negative numbers.
2.Perform the following arithmetic operations with the decimal numbers using
signed-10's complement representation for negative numbers.
a. (−638)+(+785)
b. (−638)−(+185)
