Assessed Exercise
Assembly Language Programming
In this exercise you will write and test an assembly language program on
the Sigma16 architecture. The program illustrates a variety of basic techniques,
including conditionals, loops, procedures, arrays, linked lists, and I/O requests.
The aims of the exercise are to
• Gain experience with machine and assembly language.
• Develop a deeper understanding of high level programming language constructs
by studying their implementation on a computer architecture.
• Practice the implementation of arrays and lists.
• Improve your general programming skills by learning to use a systematic
programming methodology.
• Learn how to read a program and modify it.
The systematic programming methodology is a central aspect of the exercise.
The program is specified at three levels:
1. High level language notation, using while loops, if-then-else, etc.
2. Low level language notation, where you have assignment statements, write,
goto L, and if condition then goto L. Note that in the low level language,
the only thing allowed after “if condition” is a goto statement.
3. Assembly language implementation.
It is essential to develop the program systematically, going through each stage.
If you just start by writing assembly instructions, it’s unlikely that you will get
the program to work. The process of developing the program is more important
than the program itself.
You are given two documents:
• This document, describing what to do.
• A file OrderedListsEXERCISE.asm.txt that contains a partial implementation
of the program, including the high level language version for everything,
the low level notation for some parts, and also the assembly
language for some parts. The file contains most of the solution to the
problem, and it also provides a lot of programming examples that you
should study in detail.
You may work on the program both during the scheduled labs (where there
will be demonstrator/tutor support) and outside scheduled labs (without support).
You are encouraged to discuss your work with your demonstrator/tutor.
You may discuss the general approach to the exercise with other students, but
you are not allowed to get actual code from other students, or to give
your code to others. Your solution will be submitted on Moodle.

1 Specification: What the program does
There is an array named list containing nlists elements, where nlists is
given the initial value of 5. Each element of the array is a header node pointing
to a list of numbers in increasing order. Initially every element of the array is
an empty list.
There is also an array of records, where each record describes a command to
perform. The record has three fields: code, i, x. The meanings are as follows:
• code = 0: terminate the program.
• code = 1: insert x into list[i] so that the list remains ordered.
• code = 2: delete the first occurrence of x in list[i], if any. If x doesn’t
occur in the list, do nothing.
• code = 3. Search list[i] for x; if found print “Found”, otherwise print
“Not found”.
• code = 4. Print the elements of list[i].
The task is to write a program that takes the array of commands and executes
them. The EXERCISE program implements the building of the heap, the
loop that traverses the array of commands, and two of the commands (terminate
and insert). The program runs as it is, but three of the commands do nothing
(print, search, delete). Your task is to implement those three commands. As
you do so, you should study the existing code carefully; all the techniques you
need are illustrated in the code that’s provided.
2 How to proceed
The program should be developed systematically, following the programming
guidelines presented in the lectures, just like the examples that have been given
in lectures, in tutorial solutions, and in the EXERCISE file. Follow the programming
guidelines and remember that it saves time to do the comments first.
1. Download OrderedListsEXERCISE.asm.txt from Moodle.
2. Read and study this document and the EXERCISE program. It is recommended
that you spend the first lab session simply reading the program,
studying the examples in it, and getting familiar with the program.
3. Find where the various algorithms are: the high level algorithms, the low
level ones, and the assembly language implementations.
4. Modify the comments at the beginning of the program. The comments
should give the name of the program, your name and matriculation number,
the course (CS1S) and the date (March 2021).
5. As you progress, you should continually be reading this document and the
EXERCISE file, which contains a lot of examples. Pay attention to the
general style and layout of the EXERCISE file, as well as the algorithms
it contains.

6. Run the EXERCISE program. It should terminate after executing around
9,200 instructions. It outputs a description of each command, nothing
else. What was the computer doing as all those instructions executed? It
was building the heap, traversing the set of commands, and executing the
commands. Two of the commands are actually implemented (terminate
and insert), and the insertions took some time. Why was there no output
from the print commands? Because print (as well as search and delete)
contain no code; they simply go back to the command loop.
7. Before doing any programming, it’s useful to learn how to find a data
structure in memory. Let’s work out what is in list[0].
(a) Look in the assembly listing for the data statements defining the
array of lists (this is toward the end of the file, right before the
“Input Data” section).
(b) Get the address of list[0].next. Call it X1 (but you should find the
actual address as a hex number). X1 points to the first node in the
list. (Notice that “list” is an array of header nodes, not just an array
of pointers. This makes the insert and delete operations easier to
implement.)
(c) Look in the memory display for address X1+1; this is the pointer to
the first node for the list; let’s call it X2.
(d) Now look at the first node in the list, at address X2 (containing the
value field, which is 006d) and X2+1 (containing the next field, which
is X3). So the first element of the list is 006d. Draw a box for the
node, write its address beside the box, and fill in the value and next
fields. Draw an arrow from the list[0] to the node.
(e) The next element in the list is at address X3, with value 0073 and
next = nil. Again, draw a box, fill in the fields, and draw an arrow
from the previous node to this one.
(f) Since the next field in the last node is nil, the list ends there, and the
complete list is hex [006d, 0073]. Try converting these hex numbers
to decimal, and look at the insert commands to see if the result looks
ok.
(g) While working with lists, it’s very important to draw diagrams; don’t
just work with text.
8. Now, work out the value of list[2] by examining the memory.
9. Locate the places that something is missing. These spots are all identified
in the program with a comment like this, which indicates what you will
need to write:
; *** EXERCISE Insert assembly language for CmdPrint here ***
10. Note that the file you are given implements the main program in full, and
it also implements the insert command in full. Here is a summary of the
missing pieces, which you should implement; it is recommended that you
write these pieces in the order given:
3
(a) low level for CmdPrint
(b) assembly language for CmdPrint
(c) low level for CmdSearch
(d) assembly language for CmdSearch
(e) low level for CmdDelete
(f) assembly language for CmdDelete
(g) assembly language for ReleaseNode
11. Find the high level code for the print command; it begins with .
Study this code. Try hand executing it on list[2]; you’ll discover that the
print high level code does exactly what we just did above in examining
the memory to find the values in a list.
12. Translate the high level code for print to the low level form, and insert
it into the file (look for “; *** EXERCISE Insert low level algorithm for
CmdPrint here ***”). All you have to do is replace the while construct
with suitable if-then-goto; the assignments and print statements are already
low level.
13. Now translate the low level code for print to assembly language (“; ***
EXERCISE Insert assembly language for CmdPrint here ***”).
14. Test the program. Before running at full speed, it’s a good idea to single
step it and check that each instruction does the right thing. But the program
will execute more than a thousand instructions before it encounters
a print command. So you should use a breakpoint. That means you tell
the emulator to stop when it reaches a specified point in the program.
15. To set a break point, first find the address of the label CmdPrint. You’ll
have to look at your assembly listing to find that. Suppose it’s 01c8. You
want the emulator to run at full speed until the pc register becomes 01c8.
In the processor panel, click Breakpoint. In the window, enter $01c8 (of
course, use the right address for CmdPrint). Then click Refresh, click
Enable, and click Close.
16. Now, click Boot and Run. The processor should stop when it reaches
CmdPrint. Now you can single step through your program as it traverses
the list.
17. When your implementation of print is working, run the entire program at
full speed, and you’ll see the results of all the print commands.
18. Now the entire program is working, apart from Search, Delete, and ReleaseNode.
19. Do the search command first. This is a loop that traverses the list, looking
for an element whose value is x. The list traversal is quite similar to the
traversal in print. Start with the high level algorithm for search, which
will be similar to the high level algorithm for print, and then go through
the usual process: low level algorithm and finally assembly language.
20. Then do the delete command, and finally implement ReleaseNode.

3 Hand in
Your program will be a single file named OrderedListsEXERCISE.asm.txt. It
should contain:
• Initial comments identifying the program, and giving your name, matriculation
number, the course, the date, and lab group.
• A short status report, which says what the status of your solution is. Is
it finished? Does it assemble without errors? Does it run and does it
produce the correct results? If you got stuck, what parts are missing or
5
what errors are you getting? If your program is working correctly, just
say so — one sentence suffices. If there are problems, it is to your benefit
to say as clearly as you can what is wrong — longer than just a sentence.
The status report should be in the form of comments at the beginning of
the file, right after the identification comments.
• The program, including the high level algorithm, the low level algorithm,
and the assembly language code, following the guidelines given above.
Submit your solution on the Moodle page before the handin deadline. The
program will marked out of 100:
• (5) Identifying information (in the form of comments at the beginning
of the program). The first comments identify the program, giving your
name, and saying what the program does. These may be the easiest marks
you’ll ever get: 5 marks for providing your name!
• (5) Your status report. State clearly whether the program works. If parts
are not working, say so.
• (20) The Print command.
• (20) The Search command.
• (20) The Delete command.
• (10) ReleaseNode
• (20) The program assembles and executes correctly.
Many of the marks come from your documentation and your programming
process. A well documented program that doesn’t work may get a higher grade
than a working program without comments. This is realistic; in the “real world”
an undocumented program has little value. You can get a good grade by including
the various required comments — and this will also help you to get the
program working!
