    The document describes the components and data flow of a single-cycle MIPS processor, including that the register file has 4 input buses that can read from 2 registers at a time and write to a register and write data, the ALU receives operands from registers or constants, and the RAM receives its address from the ALU or data memory and its data from the register file while its output goes to multiple destinations.

    1. How many data input buses does the Register file have?

    Specify a
    list of data sources for each of them.
    4: Read register 1, Read register 2, Write register, Write data

    2. How many registers can we simultaneously address in the register file? What are their
    functions? Where do these register addresses come from?
    You can read from two registers at a time. The source registers, specified by instruction
    fields rs and rt, should be read from the register file. The ALU performs the desired
    operation.Its result is stored in the destination register, which is specified by field
    rd of the instruction word.

    3. How many different data words can the register file simultaneously produce? What are
    the different purposes of these outputs?
    32 bits: op (6bits) is the instruction opcode, and func (6 bits) specifies a particular
    arithmetic operation. rs, rt and rd (5 bits each) are source and destination registers.

    4. List the different sources for each data input to the ALU.
    -Read Data 1
    -The output of a multiplexer used to select either a register operand (0) or a
    constant operand (1).

    5. List the different sources for the address input to the RAM.
    -The result of the ALU.
    -The data memory output.

    6. List the different sources for the data input to the RAM.
    -The output of the register file.

    7. List the different destinations to which the data output from the RAM needs
    to reach.

    8. How many different places does the input for the PC (Program counter)
    come from? What are they? What are their functions?
    -Instruction: provide address of current instruction for PC to hold
    -Adder: increments PC by 4 to read the next instruction, since each instruction is 4 bytes long.
