I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I have an instruction to find the content of a register after an executed instruction. The instruction:
add $s1, $s5, $t9
Register $s1 contents before the instruction: 0x00000457
How would I go about doing this by hand?
I know the instruction converted into binary is (based on register numbers, which is probably wrong. But I tried it considering I had no values):
0000 0010 1011 1000 1000 1000 0010 0000
But I don't really understand how to figure out what the value after that instruction would be.
$s1
is the write-only destination for add $s1, $s5, $t9
. It does
$s1 = $s5 + $t9
The starting value of $s1
is completely irrelevant and tells you nothing; the instruction has no dependency on it.
You need the values of the source operands, $s5
and $t9
.
