Question 2
Three ,16 bit numbers are stored in memory location
a, b and c . Write ALP programs for adding the 3
numbers for CISC and a RISC processor.
Assume that CISC processor has two temporary
storage registers and RISC processor has 8 registers.
The result is to be stored in memory location d . The
instructions involving ALU follow 3 operand format.

Question 3
Mention the major difference between 8086 and 8088
processor.
Will there be any difference in the performance of
8086 processor if we make the size of the Instruction
Queue 0.
If CS=2000 and IP= FFFE. What is the address of the
next instruction that will be fetched by the 8086
processor
Why is instruction pointer generally incremented by 2
in 8086 processors ?
