How to put array with many numbers to represent a matrix in DLX assembly language

369 views Asked by At

I'm making an assembly language about Haar DWT and as you know, haar dwt needs a matrix represented from an image. I want an assembly language that able to put 64x64 or 128x128 or even 256x256 matrix. How do I do that?

I am new to this assembly thing, let alone to use DLX microprocessor. I have the assembly code for the calculation of the DWT itself. But somehow the biggest matrix I can put in haar_in array is 4x4 matrix/16 values only. I don't know if it's the memory thing, or the fact that I calculate big floating point that is too heavy for the program, but I can't get it done. I have tried to change the space of haar_out, the M and N, but it didn't work too.

.data
  sqrt:
    .double 1.4142

  haar_in:
    .double 148, 142, 130, 168, 166, 117, 138, 120, 116, 118, 109, 136, 99, 89, 123, 120

  haar_out:
    .space 10000

  M:
    .word 4
  N:
    .word 4
  K:
    .word 1

This is my .data, so whenever I'm calculating a number, I will load dp from haar_in to an FP register, then the result of the calculation will be stored in haar_out. Whenever I put more that 4x4 matrix, the message will be a timeout, an overflow, or illegal number. Help..
