On platforms with specialized registers, the A register is usually an accumulator, whose primary function is to store the results (and possibly provide a parameter of) an arithmetic function. In Intel code, for example, add ax,bx adds the contents of ax and bx together, and stores the sum in ax. RISC processors generally do not have specialized registers in this sense, and instead name most their registers generically (e.g. r0, r1, r2...). This allows any general register to perform any general function, including arithmetic. For specific chip dialects, please refer to that chipset's programming manual.

What are the primary fore function performed by microproceser?
A: The processes contains three basic functions, arithmetic's, controller, input/output
What is the advantage of using a CPU register for temporary data storage over using a memory location?
Simple answer - speed. By using the CPU register, the information is kept "local" to the CPU. By storing a value in a memory location, a lookup has to be performed to retrieve it.
Explain Arithmetic micro operation?
The basic arithmetic micro operations are addition, subtraction, increment, decrement, and shift. The arithmetic micro operation defined by the statement:- R3
What is the purpose of using modulo 2 arithmetic rather than binary arithmetic in computing an FCS?
Any arithmetic process would work provided it is applied the same way in the forward and reverse process. Modulo 2 is easy to implement in hardware.
Where can you register a tagline?
Where do I register a tag line in the state of Virginia?
Can arithmetic be performed in the instruction register?
yes
What is the error that occurs when a number becomes too large for the computer to register it?
Arithmetic overflow.
What is an accumulator in microprocessor?
the accumulator is an 8-bit register then is part of the arithmetic/logic unit(ALU). this register is used to store to store 8-bit data and to perform arithmetic & logical operation. the result of an operation is stored in the accumulator. the accumulator is also identified as register A.
Describe the operations performed by the following arithmetic circuits?
The arithmetic circuits on the list that you posted with the question are incapable of performing any operations
Is age quantitative?
Yes, because it has a numerical value and arithmetic can be performed.
Is accumulator a general purpose register?
Yes and no. You can use it as a general purpose register, but if you do that, you will lose the ability to perform arithmetic and logical computations and comparisons that would normally use the accumulator.
What are registers that are designed to store the results of logic operations?
The register that stores the result of (an arithmetic) or logical result is the accumulator.
What is the function of accumulator 8085?
It is an 8 bit register which is accessable to programmer and is main fuction is to perfom all arithmetic and logical function.
Difference between a counter and a register?
A register can hold data, and it can be used for temporary storage or, in the case of an accumulator, it can participate in arithmetic or logical operations. A counter is a special case of a register. Usually, it can only be loaded, stored, or incremented, or used for the stack or as the program counter.
What type of calculations are performed in ALU?
The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a piece of hardware that performs logical " does x=y" equations and arithmetic equations such as 2x=16.
What arithmetic operation can be preformed on the numbers from this sequence -3-2-10123?
Any arithmetic operation, other than division by zero, can be performed on any set of numbers in a sequence.
I-time and e-time definition?
I-Time: In I time CU fetches an instruction from memory and place it in register. E-Time: In E time CU fetches an instruction from memory to register and place it in the Arithmetic Logic Unit.
