questions. (a) In the second pass of assembly process to assemble the code for the jump instruction, show how the assembler determines the reltaive distance value (a 16-bit value) to be placed in the machine code, and the value thus calculated. Determine its decimal value (note: should be a negative value due to jump- back), and determine how many instructions backward this "jump" instruction is to jump in order to reach the "load" instruction.. (b) Assume that the code is relocated to another secion of memory after a context switch, and the jump instruction is now at x6800, answer each of the following questions. i. What should be the address of the load instruction now? ii. Show how the CPU calculates this correct target location when this jump instruction is executed, using the machine code derived from (a).
2. (30 pts) In a hyperthetic asembly code depicted below, a jump instruction (at loca- tion with the addres lable "ABC") uses the PC-relative addressing mode to jump to the load instruction with the address label "HERE" (note: this jump is a backward jump): HERE ABC : : load : r1, 64(r2) : jump HERE (PC) : Assume that after the first pass of assembly process, the label "ABC" is determined to have an address value of x4c14 and the label "HERE" has x4bd0. Answer each of the following
