   | 7-29-2004 | Quiz Grading Quizzes will be graded on a good-faith effort basis.Each quiz will be worth points (so there are no gimmies), but
we may slide the quiz grading scale such that if you miss 1 or 2, the
missed quizzes are worth very little, but quizzes become worth more
as you missed more. (I.e. marginal point value of quizzes goes down.)
 | 
   | 7-29-2004 | Reading for Thursday's Lecture Don't focus too much on the actual
implementations given in 5.6, 6.7, and A.7. We
are going to use a much simpler implementation.
You should, however, understand the big picture
and issues involved.Tomorrow's lecture will contain some material
that is not in the book. Be sure to look at the
lecture notes when I post them.

          | 
   | 7-25-2004 | HW5-1 Clarification 
   To be able to test your cpu module in the homework, you will need to set initial values into registers. Add a mux before the 32-bit data input, so it would chose between the result of ALU, or the input from the driver, and another mux before the Rw input of the regfile, so you can input which register you want to set value for. This way you basically have a reset period, during which the write enable is asserted and you set the values in the registers. once values are set, you change the mux control and continue to receive values from ALU. For writing these two muxes, you may use dataflow syntax inside the regfile module if you wish.
 Your ALU does not need to detect overflow. Just compute the result, and for the equal and not equal instructions, set the zero bit.
    | 
   | 7-22-2004 | F2F Deadlines for Michael and Friday OH 
   F2F deadlines for HW3 and Proj1 are extended until 11am on Monday, July 26, 2004 for people who have Michael as a reader.

    | 
   | 7-21-2004 | Homework 5-1 and Proj2 
       Your regfile can be behavioral and straight from lecture. The ALU and control units, however, have to be structural.Grades for Proj2 are now available for your viewing pleasure. For those who have logins aa-dz, the rubric Michael used can be found on his page.

    | 
   | 7-16-2004 | Midterm I Solutions 
       The solutions for the first midterm are in the resources section
       in the Solutions link.For regrades, staple a typed request with a very specific explanation of your complaint to
the front of your exam. Give the regrade request to your TA, who will then regrade your entire exam. All regrades are final and your score may go up or down. | 
   | 7-14-2004 | Project 2 Clarifications 
   Assume that the caller of sprintf.s will always put all arguments on the stack (just as spf-main.s does).
   Contrary to the "Unsupported Format Specifiers" section, if you ever see % followed by an unsupported format type (anything other than d, u, x, c, s), simply output the character as is. For example: when you see %%, output the character that follows the first % sign ('%'). Another example: when you see %z, output the character 'z'. This should be relatively easy to implement.
   If you have any questions about these clarifications, ask your TA =).

   Please refrain from discussing the exam on the newsgroup.  There are still
   people that will be taking the exam at a later date.  This also means that
