Question

What should I assume as the size of HALT instruction ? HALT instruction comes under which type of instruction

@deepanshu I don't have any reference for my answer, I have just read this stuff so I know it.
Posting it as answer would not be appropriate.

I1: 3000
I2: 3008
I3: 3012
I4: 3016
I5: 3024
I6: 3028
I7: 3030

So when interrupt occurs at I6, program counter contains 3030 right? so return address should be 3030 correct?

yes i too think 3030 is correct!

Answer 1

I1: 3000 - 3007 // since it is a memory transfer op.

I2: 3008 - 3011// it is an ALU oper.
I3: 3012 - 3015 // it is also an ALU por.
I4: 3016 - 3023 // memory transfer opr.
I5: 3024 - 3027 // ALU oper.
I6: 3028 - 3029 // branch operation
I7: 3030-3033 // ALU Opr.

Halt is an un-conditional branch to the same instruction, i.e, It is a branch instruction.

further more irrespective of whether interrupt occurs during execution of instruction or after execution of instruction next address instruction will be saved to the stack:

So 3030 will be stored in the stack.
