A machine has a 64-bit architecture, with 2-word long instructions. It has 128 registers, each of which is 32 bits long. It needs to support 49 instructions, which have an immediate operand in addition to two register operands. Assuming that the immediate operand is a signed integer, the maximum value of the immediate operand is that can be stored is?
edit: would 1 word long instruction for this case be of 64 bit and 2 word long instruction be of 128 bits? Also do we have to add an extra bit while calculating the total bits required for 49 instructions?
