2.8
Translate the following RISC-V code to C. Assume that the variables f, g, h, i, and j are assigned to registers x5, x6, x7, x28, and x29, respectively. Assume that the base address of the arrays A and B are in registers x10 and x11, respectively.
addi x30, x10, 8 addi x31, x10, 0 sd x31, 0(x30) ld x30, 0(x30) add x5, x30, x31
2.9
For each RISC-V instruction in Exercise 2.8, show the value of the opcode (op), source register (rs1), and destination register (rd) fields. For the I-type instructions, show the value of the immediate field, and for the R-type instructions, show the value of the second source register (rs2). For non U- and UJ-type instructions, show the funct3 field, and for R-type and S-type instructions, also show the funct7 field.
2.16
Assume that we would like to expand the RISC-V register file to 128 registers and expand the instruction set to contain four times as many instructions.
2.16.1
How would this affect the size of each of the bit fields in the R-type instructions?
2.16.2 How would this affect the size of each of the bit fields in the I-type instructions?
2.16.3 (
How could each of the two proposed changes decrease the size of a RISC-V assembly program? On the other hand, how could the proposed change increase the size of an RISC-V assembly program?
2 Programming
We will test the following problems on RISC-V software stack. The packages we use are spike, proxy kernel with newlib and gcc. And the riscv-isa we will use to test the program is RV64IMAFDC.
Before we start programming, we will use docker to set up our environment (Refer to the supplementary.pdf to see how to install docker and use it).
docker pull ntuca2020/hw2 // (4G) docker run –name=test -it ntuca2020/hw2 cd /root ls
The folder structure in the docker image looks like the following:
/root|– Examples | |
| |– Example1 | // inline assembly test |
| |– Example2 | // link with .s file test |
| ‘– Example3‘– Problems | // setup debug environment |
|– fibonacci| |– Makefile| |– fibonacci.c| ‘– fibonacci.s | // fibonacci number |
|– convert| |– Makefile| |– convert.c| ‘– convert.s | // string to int |
‘– matrix|– Makefile|– matrix.c‘– matrix.s | // matrix multiplcation |
make and make test to try it out.
You only need to submit *.s file of each problem.
Fibonacci
Implement Fibonacci number in assembly. (F0 =0,F1 =1, output Fn, no overflow)
unsigned long long int fibonacci(int);
Input: Output:

Convert
- Convert an ASCII string containing a positive or negative integer decimal string to an integer. Input length is at most 15 bytes.
- ‘+’ and ‘-’ will appear optionally. And once they appear, they will only appear once in the first byte.
- If a non-digit character appears anywhere in the string, your program should stop and return -1.
- The return value will be printed out in 32bit-int format.

Matrix multiplication (15%)
Do matrix multiplication of size 128×128 with some additional operations.

C[i][j] = (C[i][j] + A[i][k] * B[k][j]) % 1024; Elements in A and B are unsigned 16 bits numbers of range [0,1023] We will score based on the cycle counts. You can use C as an initial attempt.

- How many load and store does it need (roughly) during the whole computation? (Considering the registers it use)
- Is there any way to keep registers being used as much as possible before they’re replaced? (Hint: blocking)
- How many loop controls does it need (roughly) during the whole computation?
