This project is an assembler simulating the IAS Machine. I learned about it in a class on computer architecture and decided to take on a challenge.
shinzou run finnish.asm
# or
shinzou compile finnish.asm -o ancient_sumerian.bin
shinzou run ancient_sumerian.bin- Add a custom directive to output the whole state of memory at runtime, sort of like debugging.
- Show a web visualization for the working machine and its components.
While the IAS spec has an I/O module, it does not list a right API for accessing it - at least I didn't find it. I used for reference this document from Unicamp. As this is my project, I will be adding brand new instructions:
| Representation | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OUT M(X) | 10000001 | Outputs the contents of the memory address of X to the I/O stream |
| CHAR M(X) | 10000010 | Outputs the contents of the memory address of X as ASCII to the I/O stream |
