Hi
I've just started using the Hardware Simulator. I am looking at the Xor file. I can load the file into the simulator. I have watched the tutorial video very carefully. When he chages the inputy pins the calculator icon lights up before that it is greyed out. When I do the same thing on my p...

I plan on going slow and taking my time with the material here and really making sure I understand it. But I am only on the second page in Chapter 1 and already not understanding why the truth table has the values it has in the last column and how the boolean expressions are being created from i...

Hi,
I was wondering, why does the course not include the clock when discussing the Hack Computer architecture? From what I understood, the clock is a key component of a sequential computer, such as the Hack machine undoubtedly is....

In various places, it has been mentioned:

Constructors may have arbitrary names, but they must return an object of the class type. Therefore the type of a constructor must always be the name of the class to which itbelongs.

Hello, I'm having problems to test my ALU.hdl file. It doesn't open at all in the Hardware Simulator, and I've tried different implementations that I found on the Internet just to see if it was my code's fault, but none of them have worked. The Hardware Simulator has worked for all of the previo...

Hello all,
I'm currently working on the CPU part of project 5, and while my chip mostly seems to be working, I'm genuinely wondering if something is wrong with the CPU.tst file. As you can see, the code that it's running sets D to zero, and then runs D;JEQ. Unless I'm fundamentally misunderst...

I am creating a program counter. I am confused about the inc one bit input. I am not so sure how to do that? It makes no sense to me because I am able to increment the register but how do I use a multiplexor to a incrementor? I would think that it needs a multiplexor because no other chips offer...

I am looking at page 49 of the book The elements of computing systems. It shows a register and after a register the Ram. I am confused what an address is. Could you explain to me what a address is? What does it do?

Hi. I am creating a visual diagram of the Hack ALU. Ive gotter pretty far. Im lost though when it comes to the output ng. Im not sure just exactly what a lesser than zero is. How do I connect 16 output and make a lesser than zero. Any suggestions?

Hi. Ive been able to create a w lenght of 16 bits by 8 registers. It is pretty cool. I am thinking that if I had another chip it will each register at choice be selected. It does not seem to emit the values when I select a register and load. I am confused why. Can you explain how the ram knows a...

Hi. I have a problem. I am attempting to create a register. I think I have it figured out, but I am unsure. The question I have is this: Is a register a sequence of bits from left to right. I am confused because in the requirements on the book it says 16 input and 16 outputs. The only way that I...

Why not remove the special constructor subroutine and replace it with a normal function ? :
class Point
{
field int mX, mY;
method void cons ( int x, int y )
{
let mX = x;
let mY = y;
return;
}
function Point make ( int x, int y )
{
var Point p;
let p = Memory....

My c-instruction at the highlighted part has '001' for the last three digits. We have agreed that as long as there is no jump, the PC will increment by 1. Yet the correct value is supposed to be 26 for the PC counter, not 1000, which is the value of A-reg. But instruction[16] does have a jump...

When I load the FullAdder.hdl in the Hardware Simulator, the HDL box stays
blank. I can also load the script but cannot run it. I faced no such
problem while creating Project01 and the HalfAdder.
*FullAdder was created using two HalfAdders. *

What frequency does the CPU emulator run at when there are no animations and the slider is set to fast?
