What % of test questions will be ______?
Will there be hard masking questions, or ones that require it?
What about topics in book but not in class?


.pos 0 and .pos 0x100 -- why?
	0 is start of code
	others are usually to place the stack somewhere 
		or make room for something

If you acces byte 100, do you get 101 or 99 too?
	100, 101, 102, and 103 (assuming you are using a l op like movl)
How does little endian work with the stack?
	pushl puts a 4-byte little-endian value on the stack
	pushl $0x12345678 would put
	100->0x78
	101->0x56
	102->0x34
	103->0x12
	and %esp will end at 100 (it was at 104 before the push)
How stack stores values?

Does ret modify only one register?
	Yes, %esp is the only program register it modifies
	(and the PC)

Will I list opcodes you should know?
	I won't test on either (a) your ability to list them or (b) what cmvols do
	But you should be able to talk about what the rest of y86 does
	and what the x86 equivalent of y86 does

How much HCL should you be able to write on the test?
	[] and in and ==

Is byte size HW dep?
	No! it is always 8

Will I wear a tuxedo on thursday?
	No

What is a normalized binary number?
	an IEEE float that is not NAN, Inf or close to 0
	(expontent is neigher max or min)

Data forwarding and OOE, are they common?
	Yes!

What sets the condition flags?
	Math (in Y86)

Why is memory before writeback?
	Because of mrmovl
