The UltraSPARC III has no instruction to load a 32-bit number into a register. Instead a sequence of two instructions, SETHI and ADD, are normally used. Is there more than one way to load a 32-bit number into a register? Discuss your answer. One of your friends has just come bursting into your room at 3 A.M., out of breath, to tell you about his brilliant new idea: an instruction with two opcodes. Should you send your friend off to the patent office or back to the drawing board?
