2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the purpose of the branch address field?
Think about where the program counter might go next.
What does a control signal do?
Recall how decisions are made during instruction execution.
What does the branch address field specify if a condition is met?
Think about the control of the program flow.
True or False: The control signals dictate whether to increment the micro-program counter or branch to an address.
Remember what the control signals are responsible for.
Design a branching flow using two conditional flags. Describe how you would set up the corresponding multiplexers and control signals.
Draw out the truth table and connections to visualize the flow of conditions.
Evaluate how different branching methods impact instruction processing speed. What design considerations must be made?
Think about processor architecture and its implications on performance.
