What is the range of signed immediate operands that can be provided, assuming that the operands are in 2s complement representation and that bit 15 is the sign bit?
A data path similar to the one in Figure 8-1 has 64 registers. How many selection lines are needed for each set of multiplexers and for the decoder? A computer has a 32-bit instruction word broken into fields as follows: opcode, six bits; two register file address fields, five bits each; and one immediate operand/register […]
