Question

a) Draw the functional block diagram of a data path involving a register file with 15 general-
purpose registers of 16 - bits each for implementing typical instructions. Illustrate with at
least six instructions.
b) Suggest a suitable format for the control word. Write the necessary control words for the
instructions chosen in (a).

Answer 1

Answer:

B) Vector register is the type of register that holds a "single vector" containing at least "two read ports" and "one write ports".

Explanation:

The CPU is considered as a vector processor, which implements an instruction set containing several instructions. It is also termed as an array processor.

This form of register hold one vector which consists of a minimum of "two read ports and one write port". Moreover, this processor could improve performance on workloads.
