Question

This is Computer Architecture!

Instructions: Create a MIPS program that demonstrates that the associative law fails in addition for floating point numbers (single or double precision). You only need to demonstrate it for single precision. Remember the associative law is a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c.

The key is to have two of the number large (one positively and one negatively but equal in magnitude) floating point numbers and the third floating point number very small in comparison.

***Please don't forget to include comments in this code, and also include a screenshot of the program working!***

Expert Solution

Step 1: Algorithm:

Algorithm:

Start.
Load single-precision floating-point constants into registers.
Compute the result of the expression a + (b + c) and store it in result1.
Reset registers for the next operation.
Compute the result of the expression (a + b) + c and store it in result2.
Exit the program.
End.
