Virtual Machine Concept
• Virtual Machines
• Specific Machine Levels
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 10
Virtual Machines
• Tanenbaum: Virtual machine concept
• Programming Language analogy:
• Each computer has a native machine language (language
L0) that runs directly on its hardware
• A more human-friendly language is usually constructed
above machine language, called Language L1
• Programs written in L1 can run two different ways:
• Interpretation – L0 program interprets and executes L1
instructions one by one
• Translation – L1 program is completely translated into an L0
program, which then runs on the computer hardware
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 11
Translating Languages
English: Display the sum of A times B plus C.
C++: cout << (A * B + C);
Assembly Language:
mov eax,A
mul B
add eax,C
call WriteInt
Intel Machine Language:
A1 00000000
F7 25 00000004

• Translating between decimal and hexadecimal
• Hexadecimal subtraction
• Signed Integers
• Binary subtraction
• Character Storage
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 20

• 0 = false
• MSB – most significant bit
• LSB – least significant bit
• Bit numbering:
0
15
1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0
MSB LSB
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 21
Binary Numbers
• Each digit (bit) is either 1 or 0
• Each bit represents a power of 2:
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20
Every binary
number is a
sum of powers
of 2
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 22
Translating Binary to Decimal
Weighted positional notation shows how to calculate the
decimal value of each binary bit:
dec = (Dn-1  2n-1) + (Dn-2  2n-2) + ... + (D1  21) + (D0  20)
D = binary digit
binary 00001001 = decimal 9:
(1  23) + (1  20) = 9
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 23
Translating Unsigned Decimal to Binary
• Repeatedly divide the decimal integer by 2. Each
remainder is a binary digit in the translated value:
37 = 100101
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 24
Binary Addition
• Starting with the LSB, add each pair of digits, include
the carry if present.

What is the largest unsigned integer that may be stored in 20 bits?
Standard sizes:
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 26
Hexadecimal Integers
Binary values are represented in hexadecimal.
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 27
Translating Binary to Hexadecimal
• Each hexadecimal digit corresponds to 4 binary bits.
• Example: Translate the binary integer
000101101010011110010100 to hexadecimal:
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 28
Converting Hexadecimal to Decimal
• Multiply each digit by its corresponding power of 16:
dec = (D3  163) + (D2  162) + (D1  161) + (D0  160)
• Hex 1234 equals (1  163) + (2  162) + (3  161) + (4  160), or
decimal 4,660.
• Hex 3BA4 equals (3  163) + (11 * 162) + (10  161) + (4  160), or
decimal 15,268.
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 29
Powers of 16
Used when calculating hexadecimal values up to 8 digits
long:
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 30
Converting Decimal to Hexadecimal
decimal 422 = 1A6 hexadecimal
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 31
Hexadecimal Addition
• Divide the sum of two digits by the number base (16). The quotient
becomes the carry value, and the remainder is the sum digit.
36 28 28 6A
42 45 58 4B
78 6D 80 B5

21 / 16 = 1, rem 5
Important skill: Programmers frequently add and subtract the
addresses of variables and instructions.
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 32
Hexadecimal Subtraction
• When a borrow is required from the digit to the left, add 16
(decimal) to the current digit's value:
C6 75
A2 47
24 2E
-1
16 + 5 = 21
Practice: The address of var1 is 00400020. The address of the next
variable after var1 is 0040006A. How many bytes are used by var1?
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 33
Signed Integers
The highest bit indicates the sign. 1 = negative,
0 = positive
1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0
0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0
sign bit
Negative
Positive
If the highest digit of a hexadecimal integer is > 7, the value is
negative. Examples: 8A, C5, A2, 9D
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 34
Forming the Two's Complement
• Negative numbers are stored in two's complement
notation
• Represents the additive Inverse
Note that 00000001 + 11111111 = 00000000
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 35
Binary Subtraction
• When subtracting A – B, convert B to its two's
complement
• Add A to (–B)
0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0
– 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1
Practice: Subtract 0101 from 1001.
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 36
Learn How To Do the Following:
• Form the two's complement of a hexadecimal integer
• Convert signed binary to decimal
• Convert signed decimal to binary
• Convert signed decimal to hexadecimal
• Convert signed hexadecimal to decimal
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 37
Ranges of Signed Integers
The highest bit is reserved for the sign. This limits the range:
Practice: What is the largest positive value that may be stored in 20 bits?
Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 38

Summary
• Assembly language helps you learn how software is
constructed at the lowest levels
• Assembly language has a one-to-one relationship
with machine language
• Each layer in a computer's architecture is an
abstraction of a machine
• layers can be hardware or software
• Boolean expressions are essential to the design of
computer hardware and software

Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 28 Converting Hexadecimal to Decimal • Multiply each digit by its corresponding power of 16: dec = (D3  163) + (D2  162) + (D1  161) + (D0  160) • Hex 1234 equals (1  163) + (2  162) + (3  161) + (4  160), or decimal 4,660. • Hex 3BA4 equals (3  163) + (11 * 162) + (10  161) + (4  160), or decimal 15,268.

  • 30. Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 30 Converting Decimal to Hexadecimal decimal 422 = 1A6 hexadecimal
  • 31. Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 31 Hexadecimal Addition • Divide the sum of two digits by the number base (16). The quotient becomes the carry value, and the remainder is the sum digit. 36 28 28 6A 42 45 58 4B 78 6D 80 B5 1 1 21 / 16 = 1, rem 5 Important skill: Programmers frequently add and subtract the addresses of variables and instructions.
  • 32. Irvine, Kip R. Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers 7/e, 2015. 32 Hexadecimal Subtraction • When a borrow is required from the digit to the left, add 16 (decimal) to the current digit's value: C6 75 A2 47 24 2E -1 16 + 5 = 21 Practice: The address of var1 is 00400020. The address of the next variable after var1 is 0040006A. How many bytes are used by var1?
