COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE - Spring 2001 Programming Assignments

1. ASSEMBLY PROGRAM #2: RANDOM NUMBER GENERATION
   Develop a routine in SPIM assembly language that will generate a uniform stream of
   pseudo-random integers. The algorithm should use a congruential approach that will
   be described in class. Display frequency distribution statistics for several run s
   and different initial seeds in order to demonstrate the desired uniform random
   number distribution of the assembly module. Try to use all of the following
   addressing techniques in your program: Immediate Addressing, Direct Addressing,
   Indexed Addressing, and Indirect Addressing.
