2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is a finite state machine?
Think about how computers manage different states.
Name one control signal used in the FSM.
Recall signals that guide instruction execution.
What does MFC stand for?
Focus on memory operation signals.
True or False: An unconditional jump relies on flag conditions.
Think about when jumps occur.
Design a finite state machine for executing a conditional jump instruction, ensuring to include various states and control signals relevant to flag usage.
Map out flows and decisions based on flag values during state transitions.
Critique the implications of having an FSM tailored for each opcode versus a more consolidated FSM for multiple similar instructions.
Consider speed versus space in the context of computer architecture.
