Multi-tasking Little Man Computer in Excel

The aim is to show there is more to computing than just programming. Some of the ideas demonstrated are to make users more aware of some of the processes that go on within a modern computer, and how and why some of the older methods of programming are no longer valid. An enhanced instruction set has been included to demonstrate new concepts.
This workbook builds on the concepts first demonstrated in the Earlier Little Man Computer model and should be used prior to introducing more advanced concepts that this workbook demonstrates.

New concepts that this model can demonstrate are: -
• Assembler directives to handle program, heap, and stack space
• Subroutines
• Stacks and Heaps
• Multi-tasking
• Instances
• Debugging
• Memory management
• Resource management

This resource is a follow-on from the Little Man computer showing more advanced techniques, but allowing the same LMC programs to run.
