COMP1411 (Spring 2021) Introduction to Computer Systems

Individual Assignment 1 Due Date: 10:00am, 8th March, 2021

Name

Student number

Question 1. [20 marks]


Suppose that x and y are unsigned integers.
Rewrite the following C-language statement by using << and -.
y = x * 50;
Introducing new variables (other than x and y) is not allowed.
Show your steps.

Answer:

y = x*50 = x*(64 - 8 - 4 - 2)

y = 64x-8x-4x-2x = x<<6 - x<<3 - x<<2 - x<<1


Question 2. [30 marks]
Suppose that x, y and z are all 32-bit unsigned integers.
(1) Write C-language statements to set the value of z, such that the left-most 14 bits of z are the
same as the left-most 14 bits of x, and the right-most 18 bits of z are the same as the right-
most 18 bits of y.
No that you are only allowed to use bit shift operations and logic operations (including bit-
wise operators, such as | ^ &) to set the value of z; no arithmetic or if-then-else test (in any
form) is allowed; introducing new variables (other than x, y and z) is NOT allowed.
(2) If x = 0x3B1A4359 and y = 0x2585B4C7, what the be the resulting value of z?
Please write the value of Z in hex-decimal form starting with 0x.
Show your steps.

Answer:

1. x = x>>18
x = x<<18
y = y<<14
y = y>>14
z=((not_z | (y | x)) & (z | (y | x))

2. 00111011000110100100001101011001 = 3B1A4359 (32bit)

00100101100001011011010011000111 = 2585B4C7 (32bit)

x = x>>18 (00000000000000000000111011000110)

x = x<<18 (00111011000110000000000000000000)

y = y<<14(01101101001100011100000000000000)

y = y>>14(00000000000000011011010011000111)

z=((not_z | (y | x)) & (z | (y | x)) (00111011000110011011010011000111)

z = 00111011000110011011010011000111 = 991540423 = 0X3B19B4C7


Question 3. [25marks]
Convert the following IEEE single-precision floating point number (32-bit)
1 01111110 10110110000000000000000
to a decimal number.
Show your steps.

Answer:
1 01111110 10110110000000000000000
sign = 1 => (-1)^1
exp = 126
bias = 127
e = 126 - 127 = -1
mantissa = 1 + 2^-1 + 2^-3 + 2^-4 + 2^-6 + 2^-7 = 1.7109375
result = -1 * 1.7109375 *1/2 = -0,85546875
Question 4. [25 marks]
Convert the decimal number 77.61328125 into IEEE single-precision floating point number (32-
bit).
Show your steps.

Answer:

dec = 77.61328125
sign = 0
bin = 1001101.10011101 = 1.00110110011101 * 2^6
e=6
exp = 6 + 127 = 133
133(bin) = 10000101
IEEE754 = 0 10000101 00110110011101000000000
