Purpose:
Learn to use arithmetic instructions, control instructions, compare instructions, and conditional jump instructions. Points: 80
Assignment:
Write a simple assembly language program to calculate the some geometric information for each square pyramid1 in a series of square pyramids. The program should find the lateral surface area (excluding base), total surface area, and volume for each square pyramid. Once the lateral surface areas, total surface areas, and volumes are computed, the program should find the minimum, maximum, estimated median value, sum, and average for the lateral surface areas, total surface areas, and volumes arrays.
All data must be treated as unsigned values (i.e., use of MUL and DIV, not IMUL or IDIV). The JA/JB/JAE/JBE must be used (as they are for unsigned data). lateralAreas[ n] = 2 × bases[ n] × slants[ n] totalAreas[ n] = bases[n] × ( 2 × slants[ n] + bases[ n] ) volumes[ n] = bases[n] 2 × heights[n] 3 Do not change the sizes/types of the provided data sets.
You may declare additional variables as needed. Since the list is not sorted, we will estimate the median value. For project, the list length is odd, and the estimated median will be computed by summing the first, last, and the middle value and dividing by 3.
Note, no template is provided. Create the program source file based on the previous assignments. Hints: Pay close attention to the data types. The bases[] array is byte sized, the slants[] array is word sized, and the heights[] array is double-word sized. Consider completing the lateral areas calculations before attempting the other calculations. 1 For more information, refer to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_pyramid
Submission: • All source files must assemble and execute on Ubuntu with yasm. • Submit source files ◦ Submit a copy of the program source file via the on-line submission • Once you submit, the system will score the project and provide feedback. ◦ If you do not get full score, you can (and should) correct and resubmit. ◦ You can re-submit an unlimited number of times before the due date/time. • Late submissions will be accepted for a period of 24 hours after the due date/time for any given assignment.
Late submissions will be subject to a ~2% reduction in points per an hour late. If you submit 1 minute – 1 hour late -2%, 1-2 hours late -4%, … , 23-24 hours late -50%. This means after 24 hours late submissions will receive an automatic 0. Program Header Block All source files must include your name, section number, assignment, NSHE number, and program description. The required format is as follows: ; Name: ; NSHE_ID: ; Section: <4-digit-section> ; Assignment: ; Description: Failure to include your name in this format will result in a loss of up to 10%.
Scoring Rubric Scoring will include functionality, code quality, and documentation. Below is a summary of the scoring rubric for this assignment. Criteria Weight Summary Assemble – Failure to assemble will result in a score of 0. Program Header 5% Must include header block in the required format (see above). General Comments 10% Must include an appropriate level of program documentation. Program Functionality (and on-time) 85% Program must meet the functional requirements as outlined in the assignment. Must be submitted on time for full score.
