ENG301e: Examine the principles and basic concepts of National Instruments LabVIEW and discuss the process of translating graphical code: Microprocessor Programming Assignment, SUSS, Singapore

Examine the principles and basic concepts of National Instruments LabVIEW
and discuss the process of translating graphical code into executable machine
code by interpreting the syntax and by compilation.

Consider a hypothetical 32-bit microprocessor having 32-bit instructions
composed of two fields: the first byte contains the opcode and the remainder the immediate operand or an operand address.

• Determine the maximum directly addressable memory capacity
• Appraise the impact on the system speed if the microprocessor bus has

a -32-bit local address bus and a 16-bit local data bus, or
b- 16-bit local address bus and a 16-bit local data bus.

• Determine the number of bits needed for the program counter and the
  instruction register.

Analyze ARM processor architecture and microcontroller configuration and answer the following.

• Discuss how fast memory access of Cortex-M1 improves performance.
• Design a Reduced Instructions Set Computer (RISC) program that computes the expression. Use register addressing mode.
• Design a Complex Instructions Set Computer (CISC) program that computes the following expression
