Question # 1 (C to MIPS)

C to MIPS. Assume that the variables f, g, h, i, and j are assigned to registers $s0, $s1, $s2, $s3,
and $s4, respectively. Assume that the base address of the arrays A and B are in registers $s6 and
$s7, respectively.

f = g + A[B[4]-B[3]];

For the C statement above, what is the corresponding MIPS assembly code?

Question # 2
while( A[i]== B[i])
i=i+1;

Convert the above C code to MIPS assembly. Base address of A and B are in $s0 and $s1
respectively and variable “i” is assigned to $s2.

Question # 3
For the following C statement, what is the corresponding MIPS assembly code? Assume that the
variables f, g, h, i, and j are assigned to registers $s0, $s1, $s2, $s3, and $s4, respectively. Assume
that the base address of the arrays A and B are in registers $s6 and $s7, respectively.
B[8] = A[i−j];

Question #4
Translate the following C code to MIPS assembly code. Use a minimum number of instructions.
Assume that the values of a, b, i, and j are in registers $s0, $s1, $t0, and $t1, respectively. Also,
assume that register $s2 holds the base address of the array D.
for(i=0; i<a; i++)
for(j=0; j<b; j++)
D[4*j] = i + j;
Question # 5
Translate the following C code to MIPS assembly code. Use a minimum number of instructions.
Assume that the values of num1,num2 and result are in registers $a0, $a1, and $v0, a respectively

 int max(int num1, int num2) {


 int result;
 if (num1 > num2)
 result = num1;
 else
 result = num2;
 return result;
 }

Question # 6 (MIPS to C)
MIPS to C. Assume that the variables f, g, h, i, and j are assigned to registers $s0, $s1, $s2, $s3,
and $s4, respectively. Assume that the base address of the arrays A and B are in registers $s6 and
$s7, respectively. Convert the following program into C.

MIPS Code:

 sll $t0, $s0, 2


 add $t0, $s6, $t0
 sll $t1, $s1, 2
 add $t1, $s7, $t1
 lw $s0, 0($t0)
 addi $t2, $t0, 4
 lw $t0, 0($t2)
 add $t0, $t0, $s0
 sw $t0, 0($t1)

Question # 7
Translate the following MIPS code to C. Assume that the variables f, g, h, i, and j are assigned to
registers $s0, $s1, $s2, $s3, and $s4, respectively. Assume that the base address of the arrays A
and B are in registers $s6 and $s7, respectively. MIPS Code:

 addi $t0, $s6, 4


 add $t1, $s6, $0
 sw $t1, 0($t0)
 lw $t0, 0($t0)
 add $s0, $t1, $t0
Question # 8
Consider the following MIPS loop:
LOOP: slt $t2, $0, $t1
beq $t2, $0, DONE
subi $t1, $t1, 1
addi $s2, $s2, 2
j LOOP
DONE:
1. Assume that the register $t1 is initialized to the value 10. What is the value in register $s2
assuming $s2 is initially zero?
2. For each of the loops above, write the equivalent C code routine. Assume that the registers
$s1, $s2, $t1, and $t2 are integers A, B, i, and temp, respectively.
3. For the loops written in MIPS assembly above, assume that the register $t1 is initialized to
the value N. How many MIPS instructions are executed?

Question # 9 (MIPS to Machine)


For each MIPS instruction, show the value of the opcode (OP), source register (RS), and target
register (RT) fields. For the I-type instructions, show the value of the immediate field, and for the
R-type instructions, show the value of the destination register (RD) field.

 sll $t0, $s0, 2


 sub $t0, $s6, $t0
 lw $s0, 0($t0)
 addi $t2, $t0, 4
 lw $t0, 12($t2)
