Subject: Assembly lab #3

This week's lab is quite straightforward.  You can use the example that Dr
Wang gives in the lab handout and just add in your own Booth procedure.

Run your program with SPIM with the data given in the handout, and capture
the output with script. (Don't print out pages and pages of each step of
the program. Just run it and get the output.) 

Don't forget to put appropriate comments in your code i.e.
(1) description of what the program does in the header, 
(2) Description of what the procedure does (put this where the procedure
    starts), 
(3) comments in the code that help to clarify what a particular section of
    code is doing (don't comment  things which are readily understood by
    looking at the code i.e. doing: "add $2,$3,$4 #add $3 and $4" is
    unnecessary.)

If you need help in understanding procedures, please come talk to Dr Wang
or myself.

regards,

Further remark by Dr. J-S Wang:

(4) You are supposed to report the value in 16 hexadecimal digits.  
Unfortunately, the output from running the program is in a pair of
decimal values.  So, it is still necessary to use spim (with
print command) or xspim (by inspecting the memory locations) to
obtain the hexadecimal values.
