Exercise 24

Suppose a RISC machine uses overlapping register windows for passing parameters between procedures. The machine has 298 registers. Each register window has 32 registers, of which 10 are global variables and 10 are local variables. Answer the following:
a) How many registers would be available for use by input parameters?
b) How many registers would be available for use by output parameters?
c) How many register windows would be available for use?
d) By how much would the current window pointer (CWP) be incremented at each procedure call?
