EE 360N Lab Assignments

Fall 2003

• Lab Assignment 5 - due December 5, 11.59pm
  • Clarifications
  • Sample simulator runs to help you in debugging your simulator (Each of the hex files were simulated cycle by cycle using the "run 1" command and an "idump" was performed after each cycle. *.dump files show the cycle by cycle output of idump. *.state files summarize the contents of the pipeline latches. *.timeline shows a timeline of the execution of the program in the pipeline):
    • example0.asm    example0.hex    example0.dump    example0.state    example0.timeline
    • example1.asm    example1.hex    example1.dump    example1.state    example1.timeline
    
    Note that these test cases are not meant to be exhaustive. You should write your own test cases to make sure that your simulator is working for every instruction and program.
  • Submission Instructions


• Lab Assignment 4 - due November 25 November 30 ,11.59pm
  
  
  • 23 November 2003 - Updates have been made to the lab
    • Please dump the memory locations containing the page table entries once before the 300th cycle.
    • Please store the sum at location xC014.
  • You can use the following xfig files to show the changes you made to the datapath & state diagram. You can modify these files using the xfig drawing program installed on LRC UNIX/Linux machines.
    Please note that you can submit hand drawn diagrams if you are not comfortable using xfig.
    • datapath xfig file
    • state machine xfig file
  • Submission Instructions

  • Please generate the timer interrupt only once - at cycle 300.
  • You can use the following xfig files to show the changes you made to the datapath & state diagram. You can modify these files using the xfig drawing program installed on LRC UNIX/Linux machines.
    Please note that you can submit hand drawn diagrams if you are not comfortable using xfig.

• Lab Assignment 2 - due October 9, 11.59pm
  
  
  • Submission Instructions
  • lc3bsim.c
  • control store sheet
  • state machine
  • Clarifications Updated 8 October 2003
  • LC-3b Assembler for Linux
  • LC-3b Assembler for Sun
    After downloading the assembler, please do chmod 700 assembler.linux or chmod 700 assembler.solaris
    
  • Test Cases used for grading
    • Part A: Tests for individual states
      • Initialize the registers in lc3bsim.c to {0,1,2,3,4,5,0x1236,0xABCD}
      • Run the simulator for the each of the following test cases for as many cycles as specified in states.tests (column 3); and then do an rdump & mdump 0x1234 0x1244
      • Input files (.asm & .hex)
      • Expected output dumpsim

    • Part B: Tests for correct functionality of instructions
      • Input files (.asm & .hex)
      • Expected output dumpsim
    
    Note: For grading, we did not check the value of the BUS in any of the test cases. We did not check the value of the MDR for tests 16, 17, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29 in Part A.
