Programming Exercise Guidelines

---

Two assembly programming exercises will be assigned in this course. The exercise evaluation and submission are as follows:

• The exercises are individual exercises instead of team exercises.


• Have to use to MIPS (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages) assembly language to develop the exercises.


• Use the MARS (MIPS Assembler and Runtime Simulator) to test your exercises. The MARS will also be used by the instructor to grade exercises.


• To submit an exercise, upload the source code (no documentation needed) on the Blackboard.


• The weights of the two exercises are 07% and 13% of the final grade, respectively. Though Exercise II covers parts of Exercise I, you still have to submit both exercises separately. One exercise will not be counted twice.


• The computers in the Labs have MARS installed.


• Absolutely no extra points will be given after grading.
