Build Our Estimator

You are going to write a small parser in C that counts the number of instructions and estimates how many cycles are needed to run that program from top to bottom.

As an example, if an assembly program had the following code:

# assembly.s program MOVQ a, %rax MOVQ b, %rbx ADDQ %rbx, %rax IMULQ %rbx MOVQ %rax, c 

Your tool will report a summary of the total Instructions (i.e. ADD, MOV, IMU, etc.) found and an estimate of the total cycles needed for hardware to execute this code:

ADD 1 MOV 3 IMUL 1 Total Instructions = 5 Total Cycles = 7
