Labs

Lab Assignment 6 (posted - 11/27/20)

Due December 7, 5:00pm.

• Submission instructions
• Control store sheet (Excel spreadsheet)
• 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
  • example2.asm, example2.hex, example2.dump, example2.state, example2.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.
