An instruction such as bge $t4, $t2, notMin requires a breakdown into 2 instruct

Question

An instruction such as bge $t4, $t2, notMin requires a breakdown into 2 instructions because the comparison between $t4 and St2 needs to be made, the result placed in $1 using a sit instruction, and then a beq instruction is used to make a decision. (T or F) The instruction LW $t5, 12($t0) translates to LW $13, 12($B) LW $8. 12($13) LW $13, 8($12) LW $12, 13($8) The instruction bnez $t1, loop breaks down into lower level instructions. 4 3 2 1 The instruction MOVE $t2, $t8 transfers the contents of register to register t8to$2 s2 to $s8 An instruction with OP-CODE of is a register based instruction.

Explanation / Answer

Answer: See the answers below:

9) True (bge instruction breaks down into two instructions.)

10) a (lw stands for load word from the source address to the destination address. LW $t5, 12($t0) is equivalent to $t5 = Memory[$t0+12]

11) c (bnez stands for branch not equal to zero. It will first compare, then branch.)

12) b (format of MOVE is MOVE d,s which means d=s.)

13) 12 bits (In register-based instructions, operation type is determined by the 6 bist of opcode plus 6 bits of function.)
