Assembly Language Instructions

Notes:

For the NORM instruction, the auxiliary register operations are executed dur-
ing the fourth phase of the pipeline, the execution phase. For other instruc-
tions, the auxiliary register operations take place in the second phase of the
pipeline, in the decode phase. Therefore:

1) The auxiliary register values should not be modified by the two

instruction words following NORM. If the auxiliary register used in the
NORM instruction is to be affected by either of the next two instruction
words, the auxiliary register value will be modified by the other instruc-
tions

before it is modified by the NORM instruction.

2) The value in the auxiliary register pointer (ARP) should not be mo-

dified by the two instruction words following NORM. If either of the
next two instruction words specify a change in the ARP value, the ARP
value will be changed

before NORM is executed; the ARP will not be

pointing at the correct auxiliary register when NORM is executed.
