| 2.12.1 In the following problems, the data table contains various modifications that could be made to the MIPS instruction set architecture. You will investigate the impact of these changes on the instruction format of the MIPS architecture. a. 128 registers b. Four times as many different instructions [5] <2.5> If the instruction set of the MIPS processor is modified, the instruction format must also be changed. For each of the suggested changes above, show the size of the bit fields of an R-type format instruction. What is the total number of bits needed for each instruction? | |
