2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does R1 represent in the example discussed?
Think about its role in defining where our data is.
What is direct addressing?
Does it require any calculation to retrieve data?
What addressing mode uses a value directly stored in a register?
Consider how addresses are specified in direct access.
True or False: Multiple word instructions can fit entirely into one memory location.
Think about the implications of instruction size.
Create a scenario involving an effective address calculation using R1 and a displacement value. Describe the expected outcome.
Make sure to add R1 and the displacement together before adding to the base address.
Explain how CPU architecture impacts addressing mode usage and why it’s essential to optimize this in programming.
Consider the trade-offs between instruction size, speed, and complexity.
