Given the signed 8-bit binary number 1011 1011, what is the equivalent number when extended to a 16-bit binary number?

A company wants to upgrade the server. What clock rate should be required for the new server given the following requirements?  The current server has a 2 GHz clock rate and can accomplish a particular task in 15 seconds.  They would like to cut that time to 10 seconds with the new server.  The new server will require 1.2 times as many clock cycles.    

The Boolean expressions, 0x = 0 and 1 + x = 1, are examples of (the):

Write a function call for the function min.  Write the code that would store the values 7 and 9 to send to the function then make the function call.  Make sure to store the values in the correct registers. # Function to find the minimum of two numbers   min:        blt $a0, $a1, min_done   # Branch if $a0

If a procedure is going to update registers $s2, $s3, and $s4, how does it make space on the stack for these values?

Write a function call for the function max. Write the code that would store the values 5 and 6 to send to the function then make the function call.  Make sure to store them in the correct registers.  # Function to find the maximum of two numbers    max:       bge $a0, $a1, max_done   # Branch if $a0 >= $a1       move $v0, $a1           # $a1 is greater        j max_end    max_done:        move $v0, $a0           # $a0 is greater    max_end:        jr $ra                  # Return
