Some computer engineering students decided to revise the LC-3 for their senior project. In designing the LC-4, they decided to conserve on device registers by combining the KBSR and the DSR into one status register: the IOSR (the input/output status register). IOSR[15] is the keyboard device Ready bit and IOSR[14] is the display device Ready bit. What are the implications for programs wishing to do I/O? Is this a poor design decision? 8

Some computer engineering students decided to revise the LC-3 for their senior project.  KBSR and the DSR into one status register: the IOSR (the input/output status register). IOSR[15] is the keyboard device Ready bit and IOSR[14] is the display device Ready bit can be done in LC-3.

LC-4 is a poor design.

Explanation:

LC-3, is a type of computer educational programming language, an assembly language, which is a type of low-level programming language.

It features a relatively simple instruction set, but can be used to write moderately complex assembly programs, and is a theoretically viable target for a C compiler. The language is less complex than x86 assembly but has many features similar to those in more complex languages. These features make it useful for beginning instruction, so it is most often used to teach fundamentals of programming and computer architecture to computer science and computer engineering students.

The LC-3 specifies a word size of 16 bits for its registers and uses a 16-bit addressable memory with a 216-location address space. The register file contains eight registers, referred to by number as R0 through R7. All of the registers are general-purpose in that they may be freely used by any of the instructions that can write to the register file, but in some contexts (such as translating from C code to LC-3 assembly) some of the registers are used for special purposes.

a  social news website  is an  internet  website  that features  user-posted stories. such stories are ranked based on popularity, as voted on by other users of the site or by website administrators. users typically comment online on the news posts and these comments may also be ranked in popularity. since their emergence with the birth of  web 2.0, social news sites have been used to link many types of information, including news, humor, support, and discussion. all such websites allow the users to submit content and each site differs in how the content is moderated. on the  slashdot  and  fark  websites,  administrators  decide which articles are selected for the front page. on  reddit  and  digg, the articles that get the most votes from the community of users will make it to the front page. many social news websites also feature an online comment system, where users discuss the issues raised in an article. some of these sites have also applied their voting system to the comments, so that the most popular comments are displayed first. some social news websites also have a  social networking  function, in that users can set up a user profile and follow other users' online activity on the website.
