Corrections:

• Friday, Feb. 18, around 3:20pm: In Exercise C, in the example near the bottom of page 7, the instructions

              addi    $t0, $t0, 42
              sw      $t0, 0($sp)
              addi    $t0, $t0, 57
              sw      $t0, 4($sp)
              addi    $t0, $t0, 101
              sw      $t0, 8($sp)
              

  should be

              addi    $t0, $zero, 42
              sw      $t0, 0($sp)
              addi    $t0, $zero, 57
              sw      $t0, 4($sp)
              addi    $t0, $zero, 101
              sw      $t0, 8($sp)
              

Lab 6, for the week of Feb. 28

(PDF format.) Paper copies handed out in lectures Mon., Feb. 28.

Corrections:

• Sunday, Feb. 27, around 4:10pm: In the file multiply.c in Exercise B, the line

  void multiply_and_print(int a, int b)x            
              

  has a stray x that you should delete with a text editor before you compile the program.

• Monday, Feb. 28, around 10:15am: The type of the variable sum in the C function sum_sq_unsigned should be unsigned int. (Correcting this error doesn't change the program output for the given data—it just keeps the types consistent.)

Lab 7, for the week of Mar. 7

(PDF format.) Paper copies handed out in lectures Mon., Mar. 7 or tutorials Tue., Mar. 8.

Lab 8, for the week of Mar. 14

(PDF format.) Paper copies handed out in lectures Mon., Mar. 14.

Corrections:

• Thursday, Mar. 17, around 4:30pm: In Exercise A, the following is wrong:

  clz rdest, rsrc --count leading zeros in rdest, put result in rsrc

  It should say:

  clz rdest, rsrc --count leading zeros in rsrc, put result in rdest

• Thursday, Mar. 17, around 4:35pm: The instruction

  addiu $sp, $sp, 8

  near the end of main should be

  addiu $sp, $sp, 12

  (The mistake doesn't prevent the program from running properly.)

Lab 9, for the week of Mar. 21
