3. Suppose that MIPS had a set greater than or equal instruction with the mneumonic sge. Such an instruction might look like this. sge Rd, Rs, Rt We would define this instruction to mean: Rd= (Rs >= Rt)? 1 ? 0. For example, the instruction sge $t0, $s0, $s1 would store 1 in $t0 if $50 $s1 and would store 0 in $t0 otherwise. Explain how such an instruction might be implemented by the processor by explaining: (a) which operation the ALU would perform its inputs, and (b) how the contents of Rd would be determined from the result of this operation. 3.
