Data hazard detection in assembly code

[Ram-Aditya]

Description

• Write a program to analyze an assembly program and detect RAW( read after write ), WAR( write after read ) and WAW( write after write ) data hazards in a simple assembly code for a pipelined instruction execution.
• The sample assembly code that is to be used as input is present in the testing_prog.txt file in the /systems/assembly/data_hazard_detection directory.
• Assume that the assembly language consists of only the following instructions: add, mul, mov, load.
• The syntax of the assembly language is: instruction destination, source/operands
• The expected output is list of pairs of instructions with the type of data hazard that is present between them.
• Consider the given assembly code as it is and do not be concerned about what the assembly code as a whole is actually trying to solve/calculate.

Details

• Technical Specifications:
  • A total of 4 implementations will be accepted.
• Type of issue: No more than one implementation will be accepted for each language. Once the implementation for a language has been taken up you must choose a different language.
• Time Limit: The claim for the issues will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once you take this issue up in a particular language, you must complete it within 3 days, failing which the issue will be allocated to the next person who requested for this issue.

Issue Progress - Languages that have been claimed

Will be updated as and when the issue is claimed.
