Architecture
Short answer:
-
Explain how the CPU provides concurrency or parallelism:
Either the CPU is divided into copies of itself, "cores", in which processes can be processed "in parallel", or there is a single CPU that processes instructions one at a time using time-sharing principles or pipelining.
-
Describe assembly language and machine language:
Assembly language is a "low-level" programming language that is usually similar to the machine's architecture instructions. Machine language is something that can be directly exectued by a particular machine's architecture. All programming lanaguages are eventually compiled into machine code prior to execution, unless that language is the machine langauge already.
Coding
Options for submission, whichever is easier for you:
- Copy your source into this repo, or...
- Submit a PR for the Sprint Challenge from the
Computer-Architecture-Onerepo you've been using all along.
Sprint Challenge:
Add the CMP instruction and equal flag to your LS-8.
Add the JMP instruction.
Add the JEQ and JNE instructions.
Here is some code that exercises the above instructions. It should print:
