MARIE Assembly Language Programming Lab Report

The document is a lab report for an assembly language programming course. It includes references and background information on the MARIE assembly language. It then summarizes two chapters: Chapter 1 describes a MARIE program for unsigned integer multiplication with comments explaining the code. Chapter 2 involves transforming part of the multiplication program into Register Transfer Notation (RTN) to describe the machine structure and function.

Background Information
MARIE has a simple and powerful instruction set. Each instruction for
MARIE has 16 bits. The bits 12-15 are the most significant because they
make up the opcode that determines the instruction to be executed. The
other 12 bits (0-11) make an address. The table below showcases MARIEs
instruction set.

RTN (Register Transfer Notation) is a means of describing machine


structure and function. It can be used to describe what a machine does
without describing how the machine does it. Register names such as IR,
PC, MAR, MBR and AC are used to represent the registers.
Summary Chapter 1
The first exercise of the lab involved writing a MARIE assembly program to
implement unsigned integer multiplication. Below is the program which is
explained in the comments.
