Are instructions which are permanently built into the processor chip called microcode?
Called Microcode
Instructions which are permanently built into the processor chip are called what?
the correct answer is Microcode
Instructions which are permanently built into the processor chip are called?
Microcode.
What is the hardware that performs all calculations and executes instructions called?
processor
What is the data found in the cache is called?
The data found in the cache is called cache data. It typically consists of recently accessed or frequently used instructions or data that are stored in a smaller and faster memory area for quicker access by the processor.
The processor uses temporary storage called to temporarily hold both data and instructions while it is processing them?
The processor uses temporary storage called primary storage, to temporarily hold both data and instructions while it is processing them. Another word for primary storage is called memory.
It carries out instructions to operate the computer?
The CPU - Central Processing Unit, or the brains of the computer.
Does the processor uses permanent storage sometimes called secondary storage to hold both data and instructions while it is processing them?
False, the processor does not use permanent storage to hold both data and instructions while it is processing them. The processor uses temporary storage to hold data and instructions.
What is an electronic component that interprets the instructions that operate the computer?
The CPU, Central Processing Unit, ALSO called the Processor interprets and carries out basic instructions on the computer.
What are the Instructions that the processor understands?
programmingans. 2The instructions that a processor understands are known as the Instruction Set.The task of combining instructions to perform some task is known as programming. This is not necessarily done directly. Writing a program by specifying entities from the Instruction Set is called machine code programming if the instructions' numeric values are used, or Assembly Language programming if the instructions are called up by short names called mnemonics. These are both low level procedures, referred to by their users as 'working on the bare metal'.Most programming today is done using high level languages. Here the programmer writes instructions which are often close to english, where one instruction calls for something quite complex to be done. The processor does not understand these instructions. Another program, called an Interpreter or a Compiler, is used to translate the high level instructions into the (low level) ones from the Instruction Set which the processor does understand.
Is a series of instructions that tells a computer what to to do and how to do it?
majorly yes, its called software, whenever you install a program your installing a set of instructions for the processor to follow, exa. internet explorer.
A chip designed with a specific set of usable instructions?
A chip designed with a specific set of usable instructions is called an embedded processor. An embedded processor is a type of CPU chip that cannot be used in a system that is a general-purpose workstation, laptop or desktop computer.
