Question 1.
What is the immediate mode?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how data is specified in an instruction.
Question 2.
How many steps does immediate mode execution require?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the steps discussed in class for this mode.
3Question 3.
What is the primary difference between immediate and direct addressing?
- Immediate mode requires more memory accesses.
- Direct mode involves a memory address pointing to the operand.
- Immediate mode does not allow for operands in registers.
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on the definitions of each addressing mode.
4Question 4.
True or False: Indirect mode only requires one memory access.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how the operand is accessed.
Question 5.
Analyze how the choice of addressing mode impacts instruction speed and complexity in programming.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the performance issues and trade-offs related to each addressing mode.
Question 6.
Propose how you would design an instruction set architecture with a focus on minimizing execution time by choosing appropriate addressing modes.
Show hintHide hint
Reflect upon the modes we discussed and their use cases.
