2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is a macro instruction?
Think about the broader commands.
Define an implicit jump in computing.
Consider how flows change without clear instructions.
What do we call jumps that are explicitly defined in the macro instructions?
Recall the terms we discussed about jumps.
True or False: Implicit jumps occur based solely on condition flags.
Think about what conditions affect jumps.
Create a simplified flowchart representing the execution of both explicit and implicit jumps in a micro instruction routine.
Outline how the instruction flows both when the flag conditions are met and not met.
Consider a CPU design with multiple macro instructions that share similar execution paths. Propose a strategy for optimizing the micro routines to balance efficiency with clarity and explain potential pitfalls.
Be sure to focus on the balance between operational efficiency and code maintainability.
