Computer Architecture Final Project

###FINAL GROUP PROJECT: CPU DESIGN PART I: LANGUAGE DESIGN (DUE: 4/17/14) Tentative Dates set to each section

1.1 PROCESSORS OF THE WORLD COMPARISON

Status: Strenths and Weaknesses on Old Style and Modern Application

Neat, Compared 4 processors architecture, machine code, and assembly language with an excellent comparison and discussion of pros and cons of each processor.

Michael: Old Style Intel Architecture
Tommy: Modern General Purpose MIPS Architecture
Jonathan: Modern General Purpose ARM Architecture
Hannah: Modern Application Specific Nvidia Fermi Architecture

What to compare:

Data Path Units – Write a paragraph describing the Data Path Unit architecture for each processor. How do the DPUs compare one to another?
Instruction Format Comparisons – Pick two instructions: Pick a branch instruction and one other instruction. Compare the assembly and machine code format for both of these instructions among all 4 processors.

1.2 PROGRAMMERS VIEW OF THE ARCHITECTURE

Status: Complete

1.3 TWO ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE TEST PROGRAMS (4/15)

Status: Test Program for all instructions

1.4 HEXADECIMAL MACHINE CODE LISTINGS (4/16)

Status: Hex listing for all instruction test program

####10 bonus pts possible: ASSEMBLER PROGRAM (4/17?) *If time is available

bugfree-adventure's Issues

Restricted to limited-digit I/O

Would be nice to support multiple digit input to actually be useful to the user. When dealing with multiple digits then we would also need to deal with saving to char_mem in multiple cycles.
