Program Plan Intro
Memory Address Register:
Memory address registers store the address inside the CPU and the address of any register signifies the location of register where the data is to be fetched or taken. To add two values, the main memory register gives two different registers for two values of different addresses and according to the logarithmic operation, the values are to be calculated and stored in different registerswith different addresses.

Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution.
Write an MIPS program that computes terms of the Fibonacci series, defined as:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 ... (This is sometimes started with a 0th term: 0, 1, 1, 2, etc.)The first two terms in the series are fixed, and each subsequent term in the series is the sum of the preceding two terms. So, for example, the term 13 is the sum of the terms 5 and 8.Write the program as a counting loop that terminates when the 100th term of the series has been computed. Use a register for the current term and a register for the previous term. Each execution of the loop computes a new current term and then copies the old current term to the previous term register. Count the number of passes to stop after the 100th term. Do not worry about overflow: this will FAR exceed the capacity of a register to hold the value.
Stop the program with a syscall with 10 in $v0.

- The Dirtcheap Software Company is planning to produce an assembler for a computer with a 48-bit word. To keep costs down, the project manager, Dr. Scrooge, has decided to limit the length of allowed symbols so that each symbol can be stored in a single word. Scrooge has declared that symbols may consist only of letters, except the letter Q, which is forbidden (to demonstrate their concern for efficiency to the custo- mers). What is the maximum length of a symbol? Describe your encoding scheme.arrow_forwardAssignment for Computer Architecture The assignment is to create a MIPS program that demonstrates that the associative law fails in addition for floating point numbers (single or double precision). You only need to demonstrate it for single precision. Remember the associative law is a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c. The program’s output should look something like the following where the xxx’s are the numbers you chose. The resulting numbers may be different than mine depending on your choice of a, b, and c. Using a = xxx, b = xxx, and c = xxx a + (b + c) = 0 (a + b) + c = 1 The key is to have two of the number large (one positively and one negatively but equal in magnitude) floating point numbers and the third floating point number very small in comparison. As a side note, the associative law will also fail for multiplication for floating point numbers, but you do not need to demonstrate that. Please don't forget to include comments in this codearrow_forwardAnswer in python language only A very successful cinema director named "Chef" decided to solve the problem. When a customer wants to buy a ticket, the clerk at the ticket window asks the visitor if he or she needs a rest area, and if so, which one: left, right, or both. We know that in the audience they are expected to appear, their L needs a left-handed position, their R needs a right one, Z does not need a single one and B needs both. Your job is to count the number of people who can attend the show. In the theatre there are N rows with each M seat. There is only one lounge between the two adjacent seats. Seats at the beginning and end of the row have two armrests. Help him using the C++ programming language. Input 1 331209 Output: 8arrow_forward
- Develop pseudocode for the problem of reading in an arbitrary number of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) bases, one at a time, and print out the complementary base sequence in the same order as the DNA bases were input. There are four DNA bases: A (adenine), C (cytosine), G (guanine), T (thymine). You should verify that a correct base is input each time and print out an error message if it is incorrect. Assume that “!” is used as the input symbol to indicate that no more DNA bases will be entered (i.e., it is the end of the DNA base sequence). The following table shows the complementary base for each DNA base: DNA Base Complementary Base A T C G G C T A As an example, if the input is “ATGGTCA”, then the output should be “TACCAGT”.arrow_forward= = 2×2 and 6 = (a) A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one divisor other than 1 and itself. For example, 2 1×2 is not a composite number but 4 2 × 3 are composite numbers. A logic circuit has four binary input variables, A, B, C and D. The output Z of the logic circuit is 1 if the unsigned integer represented by the binary number ABCD is a composite number. Using variables A and B for the select inputs S1 and S0 of a 4-to-1 multiplexer, implement the logic function Z(A, B, C, D) using this multiplexor and other logic gates.arrow_forwardIn my Introduction to Electronics course (300), we often run across division by zero. I know that it is technically undefined (or, at the very least, ambiguous), but sometimes we consider the value to be zero and other times to be infinity, which are, obviously, diametrically different (apart from negative numbers). I'm not so much interested in the nature of division by zero but more in how we determine whether we regard the value as zero or infinity? Again, this is in the context of electronics and circuit analysis, to be more specific. Thank you for your assistance.arrow_forward
- Finding N! by using Recursion! Note: please have comments on each line of the code! Assignment for Computer Architecture You are to write a program in MIPS that computes N! using recursion. Remember N! is the product of all the numbers from 1 to N inclusive, that is 1 x 2 x 3 x (N – 1) x N. It is defined as 1 for N = 0 and is undefined for values less than 0. The programs first requests the user to input the value of N (display a prompt first so the user knows what to do). If the input value is less than 0, the program is to display “N! undefined for values less than 0” and then requests the user to input the value of N again. If the value input is non-negative, it is to compute N! using a recursive function, that is one that calls itself. You are to have your name, the assignment number, and a brief description of the program in comments at the top of your program. Since this is an assembly language program, I expect to see comments on almost every line of code in the program. Also…arrow_forwardNote: Answer the question using Java language only. Shaker is the first child who got scholarship into the village. He went to London to study where he finds it very interesting to calculate number of ways of going to point (c, d) from point (a, b) in co-ordinate plane. We can take horizontal and vertical steps only and cannot visit at a point twice. In a step, you can move one unit only. We have to reach to the point (c, d) from the point (a, b) using abs(a-c) + abs(b-d) steps only. Shaker has two sets of points. Set A contains points having X co- ordinate 0 and Y co-ordinates varying from 1 to N (both inclusive). Set B contains points having X co-ordinate K and Y co-ordinates varying from 1 to N (both inclusive). Both sets contain N number of integral points. He wants to calculate the sum of number of ways to going to each point of set B from each point of set A.
