Workshop 6

This document provides instructions for a workshop assignment on a Von Neumann simulator. Students are asked to write simple programs to perform basic arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction using different ordering of operations. They are also asked to write programs to add the first 10 natural numbers and perform operations with parentheses.

Fundamentals of Computing (4CS015) Workshop: Week 6

Instruction:
Complete all questions in 2 hours.
1. Von Neumann Simulator. This program simulates a very simple computer with the von Neumann
architecture.

a. Download the von Neumann Simulator (VonNeumann.exe) program from google classroom
in the Week-7 folder. Save it in your Documents folder and run it. You will see a window
similar to this:

The simulator has a small program memory area which is available for programming. To
enter your program instructions simply click on the “Available” instruction on the list on the
right and then click on the “Memory” location you wish to put it in.

This simulator understands only the following ten instructions:

NOP No Operation, i.e. do nothing.


Get a number from the keypad, completed
LOADTEMP by the Enter key, into the Temporary
Register.
Get a number from the keypad, completed
LOADLOOP
by the Enter key, into the Loop Register.
CLRDISP Clear the Display.
Add the Temporary Register to the
ADD
Accumulator
Subtract the Temporary Register from the
SUB
Accumulator
DISPACC Display the contents of the Accumulator
STRTBLK Start of Loop Block
ENDBLK End of Loop Block
HALT Halt. Stop Program

b. Load the following program in the memory and explain what does the program does?

LOADTEMP

ADD

LOADTEMP

ADD

DISPAAC

HALT

At first, program use loadtemp to load the input number and store it in the
temporary register sending it to accumulator for further calculation. Again, the
next number is entered to perform addition with previous number added already.
Finally, the added numbers output will be displayed and program is halted.

c. Write the program to add three numbers together and explain how does your code works?
Fundamentals of Computing (4CS015) Workshop: Week 6

At first, entered number is loaded and stored in temporary register and sent it to
accumulator for the calculation. Similarly, again the two more numbers will be performed in
the same way. During the program, program counter gives the number of lines of code
performed and output is displayed in output through accumulator.

d. Write the program to perform


7+3-9

-9+3-7
Fundamentals of Computing (4CS015) Workshop: Week 6

13-7+19

e. Write a program to perform


Fundamentals of Computing (4CS015) Workshop: Week 6

7+(7*3)

3+(3*7)

f. Write a program to add first 10 natural numbers.
