Lab Objectives:

The purpose of this lab is to make students able to better understand the machine code and

hardware components embedded in the lowest layer of computer system architecture.

Lab Tasks
Task#01:
Draw the data paths along with the control units after deriving the machine

language codes for the instructions given below. Your diagram should be very well

detailed, clear and intuitive.

1): lw $s0, 20($s2)

2):sw $s7, 20($s8)

Solution:
1): lw $s0, 20($s2)

Suppose we have the instruction sw $s7,20($s8)

Here in the Mips we

Task#02:
What changes would be needed if we want to make the basic architecture capable of executing ‘add
immediate’ instruction as well. Also draw the complete table indicating state of all control lines in this
case.

Solution
Now suppose we have the immediate type instruction

addi $11,$13,30

OPCODE rs rt immediate

Explanation: addi is a I-type instruction in which there is a 16-bit field for the immediate
value to be added with the Register rs and the resultant value is stored in the rs register. As
there are two basic operation to be performed
1): Adding the immediate value to the register rs
2): Storing back the result to the Register
So, the Control Unit will generate the Signal to the Corresponding input lines as shown in the
Datapath. Hence the Corresponding inputs will be generated. Control Unit Decide the inputs
based upon the op-code related to each instruction in the MIPS.
