Due: Monday, March 28 Project Description: Write an 80x86 assembly program using nasm that performs the following functions: • Reads a set of floating point numbers as ASCII characters from a file, converts them to single precision IEEE floating point representation (see the slides or text if you forgot the definition of the standard), saves the floating point values into an array, prints the floating point number (one per line) and the sum to both the screen and an output file called project3.out. The numbers will be given in standard floating point representation as, e.g. (-)9.999999E+/-99, i.e. (-) is optional, the number of digits to the right of the decimal point is variable, E is always followed by a + or a - and two digits where 09 is used for single digit exponents such as 9. • NOTE: You can NOT use fscanf or any other C library function to do the conversion to floating point. You must use the floating point assembly instructions to help with the conversion. • You can still use printf or fprintf for printing from your code. You can use fopen to open a file handle for “only??the output file. Everything else in the project should be done using low level Linux System Calls. • As before, the data file name is to be read from the command line. • You may assume the number of values in the data file never exceeds 1000 elements. Therefore, you may statically declare one thousand 32-bit double words in your data segment. • Format of the data file: Assume the file gives the number of data points on the first line. Every line following the first line contains exactly one floating point value.
