Question

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.

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

Explain the A, B, C Registers - are they instruction register, status register and data register.

Also, if I could get a source to reference to just incase I need more information. Thank you for your assistance.

Explanation / Answer

Instruction Register-

Its also refer to the IR register. In MIPS Central Processing Unit architecture instruction register is used to execute the code. When ever a bit pattern is loaded into the CPU then this instruction register is used to identify the opcode(operation code) and source and destination registers.

Status Register-

Its basically the register that is used to identify the state of the processor. Or you can say that status register
having the information about the status of the processor. For providing the status status reigsters having the
status flag bits.

Data register-

Its basically the register of MIPS Central Processing Unit architecture. Data register is used to contain the data
that to be loaded in the computer random access memory. Data register having the data on which we perform various operations.
