Session Inputs

Recap: Instruction Set of 8086 and 8087 Co-processor


Our learners are familiar with 8086 and 8087 architecture and
instruction set; to recap we could conduct an activity.

Suggested Activity: Do and Explain

Form 5 teams of learners and assign the titles given:
A. Architecture and programming model of 8086 processor
B. Data transfer instructions of 8086
C. Arithmetic and logic instructions of 8086
D. Program control instructions of 8086
E. 8087 co-processor functional block diagram and Instructions

Team A will be provided with a Computer Motherboard, the team members
have to identify the processor, memory, other chips and interfaces in the
board and draw a block diagram for the same.

Team B shall open the TASM or MASM simulator and list the data transfer
instructions of 8086 along with their explanations by searching the help
document.

Team C shall open the TASM or MASM simulator and list the arithmetic and
logic instructions of 8086 along with their explanations by searching the help
document.

Team D shall open the TASM or MASM simulator and list the program control
instructions of 8086 along with their explanations by searching the help
document.

Team E shall draw the functional blocks of 8087 and identify the block
functionalities.

Now each team shall present their findings.

Now we could understand the programming concepts in 8086 and 8087
processors.

Programming 8086 Processor with 8087 Co-processor

In view of improving the programming skills of learners, we could
lead them to build application code for specific case studies.
We can prepare a design document for a case study that includes:
A problem statement
Necessary specifications
Diagrams
Data sheets

The 5 teams will be provided with the design document. The teams shall:
Prepare a flow chart for the logic to be implemented
Write an algorithm
Develop an assembly language code using 8086 and 8087 instruction sets
Compile and show the output

A typical case study is presented for reference.

Problem statement
Write an Assembly language program using Intel 8087 co-processor to
calculate the square root of an integer stored in a memory location.
Algorithm
Step 1: Take the square root of an integer stored in memory at address [210]
Step 2: A 16-bit integer stored in memory at address 210 is read using the
"Integer Load" (FILD) instruction.
Step 3: This number is stored internally in the 8087 as an 80-bit floating point
value. After taking the square root (FSQRT), the floating point result is stored
at address 200 for inspection.

We could validate the correctness of the code and verify the output of the
program. Using the same program also find the square roots of 9 (0009H)
and 169 (00A9H).

Conclusion


To conclude this session, we can project (using LCD projector) the
program developed by the teams and display it to the other teams
and also execute the respective codes to check the correctness.

Assignments

Develop a procedure that takes as input a single precision number
and stores it in EBX register. Now multiply its contents n number of times
and store the result in register EBX as a singleprecision floating-point
number. You must use memory to accomplish this task.
