Introduction to Computer Architecture 1-Dimensional Memory

For this assignment, you will create a series of functions that will operate on data contained inside

an array:

array_double_raw(a, length)
array_double(a)
increment(a, i)
swap(a, i, j)
add(a, b)
subtract(a, b)
scalar_multiplication(c, a)

The first four functions will allow you to practice manipulating an existing array.The

array_double_raw function takes a bare array and its length as parameters and doubles every element in

the array.In contrast, the other functions should expect the length to be included as the first element in

the array.This will allow your software to do runtime bounds checking.The increment function

increments one element in the provided array.The swap function swaps the data at index i and j.The last

three functions perform standard vector arithmetic operations and will expect you to create a new array

to return your results in.

You should not need to modify the test suite.You only need to write the functions.Since QT SPIM

expects all of your code to be in a single file, you can concatenate them together in a few ways.If you are

on Windows, you can use the included batch file to do the work for you.Simply dragging your source file

and dropping it on the batch file should be sufficient.If you are having trouble with the batch file, make

sure that your file names match those below.You can also use a command line operation.

Windows:copy /Y +Test Suite.asm Output.asm

Unix:cat Test Suite.asm > Output.asm

Your program should include appropriate comments indicating what the code should be doing and

what registers are being used for.After displaying the results, your program should exit cleanly.You should

test your programs using the SPIM simulator to ensure their functionality before submitting them.You

should only submit your functions.You will not receive credit if you submit the test suite in any form.You

should also not include any driver or debug code in your submission.
