this is part of my assignment, i dont really mind if i dont get the answer, but i just want to know how to even work it out/do the calculations :/ can any1 just show the calculations with examples please? any help please? A processor has 24 registers, uses 8-bit immediates, and has 36 different instructions (corresponding to 36 operation codes) in its instruction set. These 36 instructions are classified into 4 types as listed below:
Type-A: takes 2 source registers, uses 1 destination register;
Type-B: takes 1 source register, uses 1 destination register;
Type-C: takes 1 source register, 1 immediate, uses 1 destination register;
Type-D: takes 1 immediate, uses 1 destination register.
Assume that the Instruction Set Architecture requires that all instructions be a multiple of 8 bits (1 byte) in length, and the operation codes (opcodes) are of fixed length.
a) How many bytes do we need to use to encode the Type-A instruction?
b) How many bytes do we need to use to encode the Type-C instruction? thanks
