Entry 5: March 2, 2012
- What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date?
- that the instruction set for the cpu of cisc are divided into simular instructions
- but the risc instruction set is much smaller with just a few instuctions
- Why was this significant?
- the difference between them is a cisc is quicker but take smaller code bits but can do much more complicated things where risc can take large code but at a slower rate
- What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense?
- the register is a fixed size ussaly a 8 bit 1 byte
- What challenges are you facing with respect to the course?
- what cpu are we going to do
Entry 6: March 12, 2012
- What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date?
- the search showed that both risc and sisc should have registers for andding orring notting as well as a few more to if/branch and move to allow for movment from cpu register and memory block
- Why was this significant?
- becuase these are the basic processes for the nessary cpu
- What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense?
- to implement a cisc or risc cpu
- What challenges are you facing with respect to the course?
- choosing a class wide concept to run anwith and do for a cpu emulator

Keywords
asm Keywords
asm Keyword 9 boolean operations
subtraction and division arent ussaly used in boolean operations how ever there are ways to reperstant the subtraction and division
Definition
boolean operations are the the mathmatics operations that a cpu performs on the boolean string provided
Demonstration
asm Keyword 10 logic gates (and,or,xor)
Definition
these gates are the bases for almost all commonly used gates minus a few do to there limited use in application
Demonstration
asm Keyword 11 Negated Logic Operations (NOT, NAND, NOR, XNOR)
Definition
these gatesa are not neglected just simple not used do to unusefullyness sence not will just spit out the oppisties and as for NAND NOR and XNOR the and or applied with not can created these
Demonstration
NAND is a and with a not tail NOR is a or with a not tail XNOR is a or followed by and followed by not
asm Keyword 12 Data Instructions (Data Movement, Address Movement, Data Conversion, Bit Manipulation)
Definition
data movement is defined in the instrcutiun set as memory to register or register ot memory or memory black to memory block or register to register address movement is a direct movment to a next step not a movment to wait bit manipulation is logic gate operations that changes the incomming bit string to something else
Demonstration
asm Keyword 13 Control and Data flow
Definition
Data flow is the concept that u know where and when a data is being used enters and exits a operation controling it is determind befor use and is determind by the instruction set registery
Demonstration
asm Keyword 14 Subroutines
Definition
subreoutines are the commends given to perform a task and must always be done inorder to determe the command given in other words subreoutines are a branched process off of a main process to deal with a issue or anotehr varible or even to change a value
Demonstration
asm Keyword 15 Storage
Definition
Storage is in simplest terms to store something in computer admistative and archutecture this means several things everything from save state such as a logic gate form register can store a single bit of info or state as well as magnetic storage is different were its not saved via gat logic but by physiacly changeing the orentation of data requested.
Demonstration
asm Keyword 16 Machine Word
Definition
Machine word is another wat to say machine lanague and is the common base lanague for all machine not just computers but ALL machines the common mistake is to think of machine lanague as of nothing but 1s and 0s that is out it is interperted by humans how ever machione lanague is much more like on and off such as is there current or isnt there current.
Demonstration
asm Objective
asm Objective
familiarity with the organization of a computer system
Definition
organization of a computer systyem can broken down to its simplist form or a register bit system for commands
Method
method of which is stil ebing covered for the most part the register is built of common table whcih is encoded into the program (aka a bios or ROM) as it stands the basic needed regsters for a computer are the three logical gate for a binary system a move from memory to register and vice versa and a 4th to accomidate movement between gates and acess to data
Measurement
the method stood almost entirely alone until we discovered the problem of which we needed certain peramiters to cover unknown quanities such as a half or full adder carry to factored in to the move or reuse of a and or a or function
Analysis
Reflect upon your results of the measurement to ascertain your achievement of the particular course objective.
- How did you do?
- unsure but it looks promising from were i stand and from what i understand of the thought process and implementation
- Is there room for improvement?
- well considering we are using a RISC instead of the more common CISC command structure yes i would have prefered to do that instead of continueing to stumble aroudn in the dark with out a flash light or a light source
- Could the measurement process be enhanced to be more effective?
- not sure all i will say
- Do you think this enhancement would be efficient to employ?
- yes for simple processes its a well thought of and simple construct
- Could the course objective be altered to be more applicable? How would you alter it?
- less threoy of what things could be and more this is the standard how could we change it type idea
