| + | This is a different kind of assignment for students which are interested in using a CPU rather than building its architecture. The main objective of this project is to get familiar with the assembly language using a dedicated ISA, by accommodating the given examples and improving their functionality. You will: | ||
| + | * Develop a new program based on a given example; | ||
| + | * Work with low-level programming with limited hardware resources; | ||
| ===== Description and requirements ===== | ===== Description and requirements ===== | ||
| + | Implement an assembly program which reads N elements from the keyboard and swaps the minimum value with the maximum value. The program shall have and use at least one subroutine - you can have the swap function here. | ||
| + | The implementation shall be done in 2 steps: | ||
| + | - Build and run a C program which implements the desired functionality - better if you use pointers instead of fixed uni-dimensional arrays | ||
| + | - Based on the C implementation, build the MARIE assembly program. | ||
| - | + | Beside the C program and the MAR program, you must upload a README file which contains a short comparison between the two solutions and a short description of the algorithm you've chosen. | |
| - | ===== Implementation ===== | + | |
| ===== Notes ===== | ===== Notes ===== | ||
| - | + | There are several examples provided to figure out how to execute diverse operations with the MARIE CPU. You can use them to understand the procedures. | |
| + | Assembly programming implies managing the hardware recourses properly; the closest higher-level programming that you already know is C programming with pointer use and dynamic allocation. | ||
