Original Question:  Please conduct your own research on Instruction Set Architecture (ISAs). Look over how they process address memory. Compare the similarities and differences of format, instructions, type of instructions, and addressing modes. 

Peer Response:  

Good day, all!

Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) can be described as the interface between a computer’s hardware and software. ISA dictates what a particular computer will support in terms of the computer’s features such as various hardware, I/O devices, registers, processors, etc. For instance, both Intel and AMD can build a processor using the x86 instruction set, but the physical formation of components within the two processors may be completely different. The instruction set simply serves as the basic outline for the computer, but leaves the actual implementation up to the builder. There are several types of ISAs including Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC), Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC), and Minimal Instruction Set Computer (MISC). Each of these architectures consist of different strategies for storing and processing data.

Microprocessors Without Interlocked Pipelined Stages (MIPS) is an architecture which uses the RISC instruction set. It consists of thirty-two 32-bit registers and defines instructions such as Load and Store (for moving data between registers and memory), arithmetic instructions (add, multiply, etc.) and instructions for jumping to control the flow of data. Each instruction in this architecture holds 32 bits, and comes in one of three formats: R-type, I-type, and J-type. Each one begins with a 6 bit operation code which defines what operation is to be performed. R-type instructions also consist of 5 bits for the indices of two source registers, 5 bits for a destination register, 5 bits to define the shift amount, and 6 bits for the function to be performed. I-type instructions are used for immediate values, and J-type is used for jumping operations.

As mentioned above, the x86 instruction set holds some differences compared to the MIPS architecture. It consists of six general purpose registers and two special purpose registers (the stack pointer and base pointer). All registers are 32 bits long. Four of the six general purpose registers hold the ability to divide the register into one unique 16-bit subsection and two unique 8-bit subsections. x86 utilizes data movement instructions (such as mov, push, and pop), arithmetic instructions (such as logical operations, add, subtract, etc.) and control flow instructions (such as jump and compare). x86 allows for memory regions to be declared using labels, which the assembler replaces with 32-bit quantities that specify addresses in memory.

Thanks all and have a great day!

PROJECT STEPS

1. Liang Bandy is a senior project manager at Forward Construction, a firm that works on construction projects for business and commercial buildings. Liang has created a workbook summarizing the Office Plaza Construction project for the Meadowood Office Center. She asks for your help in completing the workbook.
Go to the Budget worksheet. Unfreeze the panes since Liang does not need to display those rows as she scrolls the worksheet.

2. In cell K2, enter a formula using the NOW function to display today’s date. Apply the Short Date number format to display only the date in the cell.

3. Format the worksheet title as follows to use a consistent design throughout the workbook:

a. Fill cell C2 with the Teal, Accent 6, Lighter 40% shading color.

b. Change the font color to White, Background 1.

c. Merge and center the contents of cell C2 across the range C2:I2.

d. Use AutoFit to resize row 2 to its best fit.

4. Format the hourly rate data as follows to suit the design of the worksheet and make the data easier to understand:

a. Italicize the contents of cell L2 to match the formatting in cell J2.

b. Apply the Currency number format to cell M2 to clarify that it contains a dollar amount. 

5. Format the data in cell B4 as follows to display all of the text:

a. Merge the cells in the range B4:B14.

b. Rotate the text up in the merged cell so that the text reads from bottom to top.

c. Middle-align and center the text.

d. Remove the border from the merged cell.

e. Resize column B to a width of 6.00.

6. Format the data in row 4 as follows to show that it contains column headings:

a. Change “Description” to use Code Description as the complete column heading.

b. Apply the Accent 6 cell style to the range C4:I4.

c. Use AutoFit to resize column E to its best fit.

7. In column F, Liang wants to include the actual dollar amount of the work completed. Enter this information as follows:

a. In cell F5, enter a formula without using a function that multiplies the completed hours (cell E5) by the hourly rate (cell M2) to determine the dollar amount charged for blueprint drafting. Include an absolute reference to cell M2 in the formula.

b. Use the Fill Handle to fill the range F6:F14 with the formula in cell F5 to include the charges for the other work.

c. Format the range F6:F14 using the Comma Style format and no decimal places to match the formatting in column G.

8. Liang needs to show how much of the estimate remains after the completed work. Provide this information as follows:

a. In cell H5, enter a formula without using a function that subtracts the completed amount billed (cell F5) from the estimated amount (cell G5) to determine the remaining amount of the estimate for blueprint drafting.

b. Use the Fill Handle to fill the range H6:H14 with the formula in cell H5 to include the remaining amount for the other work.

c. Format the range H6:H14 using the Comma Style format and no decimal places to match the formatting in column G.

9. Liang also wants to show the remaining amount as a percentage of the completed amount. Enter this information as follows:

a. In cell I5, enter a formula that divides the remaining dollar amount (cell H5) by the estimated dollar amount (cell G5).

b. Copy the formula in cell I5 to the range I6:I15, pasting only the formula and number formatting to display the remaining amount as a percentage of the actual amount for the other work and the total.

10. Calculate the totals as follows:

a. In cell E15, enter a formula using the SUM function to total the actual hours (range E5:E14).

b. Use the Fill Handle to fill the range F15:H15 with the formula in cell E15.

c. Apply the Accounting number format with no decimal places to the range F15:H15.

11. Liang also wants to identify the work for which Forward Construction has billed more than the full estimate amount.
In the range I5:I14, use conditional formatting Highlight Cells rules to format values less than 1% (0.01) in Light Red Fill with Dark Red Text. 

12. Liang imported data about the project team working on the Office Plaza Construction project and stored the data on a separate worksheet, but wants to include the data in the Budget worksheet. Copy and paste the data as follows:

a. Go to the Project Team worksheet and copy the data in the range B2:G13.

b. Return to the Budget worksheet. Paste the data in cell K3, keeping the source formatting when you paste it.

13. Liang needs to list the position for each team member. Those with five or more years of experience have a Senior position. Otherwise, they have Support position. List this information as follows:

a. In cell O5 on the Budget worksheet, enter a formula that uses the IF function to test whether the number of years of experience (cell N5) is greater than or equal to 5.

b. If the team member has five or more years of experience, display “Senior” in cell O5.

c. If the team member has less than five years of experience, display “Support” in cell O5.

d. Copy the formula in cell O5 to the range O6:O14, pasting the formula only.

e. Use AutoFit to resize column O to its best fit.

14. Liang wants to include summary statistics about the project and the team members. Include this information as follows:
In cell E17, enter a formula that uses the AVERAGE function to average the number of years of experience (range N5:N14).

15. Make the Line chart in the range C19:I33 easier to interpret as follows:

a. Change the chart type to a Clustered Column chart.

b. Enter Task Progress as the chart title.

c. Add a primary vertical axis title to the chart, entering Hours as the axis title text.

d. Add data labels to the Outside End of each column.

16. Delete row 35 since Liang has adjusted the chart.

17. Go to the Schedule worksheet. Rename the Schedule worksheet tab to Work Schedule to use a more descriptive name.

18. Each type of work starts on a different date because the types depend on each other. Enter the starting dates for the remaining work as follows:

a. In cell D6, enter a formula without using a function that adds 1 day to the value in cell C6.

b. In cell E6, enter a formula without using a function that adds 2 days from the value in cell C6.

c. In cell F6, enter a formula without using a function that adds 3 days to the value in cell C6.
