Assignment Computer Architecture and Organization

Solve the following practice question and submit them on the slate.
1. Convert the decimal number -29.875 into the IEEE 754 format for a single-
precision floating-point number.
2. Convert the following IEEE 754 single-precision floating-point register into a
decimal number: 0 10000101 10010000000000000000000.
3. Convert the following IEEE 754 double-precision floating-point register into a
decimal number: 1 10000000111
0110000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.
4. What is the result of adding the following two IEEE 754 single-precision
floating-point registers? Show your steps as you perform the math in binary and
produce the final IEEE 754 value that will be placed in the register.
0 10000011 01000000000000000000000
0 10000101 01100000000000000000000
5. Using a table similar to that shown in Figure 3.11, calculate A
divided by B using the hardware described in Figure 3.9. You should show the
contents of each register on each step. Assume A and B are unsigned 6-bit
integers. These are octal numbers
