Question

Identify a set of processor parameters and structures. You need to define the components, unique parameters, and instruction set for your proposed processor structure. To determine the instruction set, you will have to create your own set of instructions that your processor can handle. Processor architecture and instruction set:

a.Determine the processor components and the characteristics for each component. Components may be any internal hardware that your proposed processor may have, such as a special arithmetic unit.

b.Determine how many registers there are in your computer architecture. You have to specify how many registers are in your proposed processor, their names, and their sizes. You may have three registers A, B, and C. Each register is 8 bits. You do not have to stick with the MIPS structure given in the course.

c.Determine the instructions that your proposed processor can handle. You have the freedom to determine how many instructions your proposed processor can handle. You have to have more than ten instructions. Your instructions can be anything, including instructions such as add, sub, and mul.

d.Determine the instruction size. Determine the size of your proposed instruction set. You may choose to have a varying or fixed instruction set size. Discuss why you selected that type of instruction set.

I really need help with this. I have already posted this once a week ago and I didn't get a response. PLEASE HELP!

Explanation / Answer

A) Processor components and the characteristics

Processor is basically the heart of the computer unit. Its monitor and control all the internal and extarnal devices of computer unit. Important parts of CPU are:

1. ALU : Its stand for arithmatic and logic unit, its used for perfroming all the arithmatical and logic operations , inside the computer system.

2. Control Unit: Its basically tells ALU, what to do with the data receive from input devices, how to show the resultant data to the end users. Its used to maintain order and directs the operations inside the computer systems.

B) In my proposed processor, we have 32 registers. 12 A-Type and 10, 10 B and C Type

C)
Instructions that your proposed processor can handle: instructions are gives below:
1) Read and write data from harware devices
2) Copy data from one to another memory location
3) transfer data
4) Perform airthmetical operations
5) perform bitwise operations
6) compare two values
7)saving registers on stack
8) complicated arithmatical operations
9) handling input devices
10 handling output devices

D) There are various parts in the instructions,they are as follows:

1) opcode
2) destination registers
3) source registers
4) shift amount
5) function
