Best Answer

The program counter in the processor holds the address of the next instruction needed from main memory. The program counter copies its contents into the memory address register. The memory address register then sends the address along the address bus to main memory and the contents of the memory location specified by the address are sent along the data bus to the memory buffer register. The contents of the memory buffer register are then copied to the current instruction register where they are decoded and executed.

What is the function of the instruction counter?

There is no such thing as an instruction counter. You are either referring to the instruction register (IR) or the program counter (PC), The PC is more commonly known as the instruction pointer (IP). The IR and IP work together. The IR fetches the instruction currently pointed to by the IP which is then incremented to refer to the next instruction. The IR is then decoded and executed and the cycle repeats ad infinitum (known as the fetch-decode-execute cycle). However, if the fetched instruction is a control transfer instruction (such as JMP), its execution will cause the IP to refer to another address which, in turn, causes execution to "branch" to a new section of code on the next fetch-decode-execute cycle. Note that a low-level JMP is equivalent to a goto statement in high-level code, however code can also branch through high-level if and switch statements as well as structured loops such as for, while and do-while statements.

Work is the amount of energy you have to use to execute a certain task.


Why does pipeline improves performance in CPU?

On a pipelined CPU, all the stages work in parallel. When the 1st instruction is being decoded by the Decoder Unit, the 2nd instruction is being fetched by the Fetch Unit. This results in a shorter or lesser clock cycles to execute 2 instructions compared to unpipelined CPU.

Why did capt John Smith execute people for not working?

John Smith did not execute people who didn't work. He said that if a man didn't work, he wouldn't be allowed to eat. Obviously, everyone worked because they needed to eat.


List four functions of registers in assembly language?

Because registers are where all the actual work is done by the CPU. Think of registers as being a bank of switches which can be configured so the CPU can perform a specific operation upon a specific set of operands, be they values or memory addresses where values can be found. Some operations have no operands while others have one or two, but in order for the CPU to know which operation and which operands it should operate upon the registers must be set accordingly. The CPU achieves this through a repeating fetch-decode-execute cycle, fetching the next instruction, decoding its operands and then executing the instruction. In a multi-threaded environment, the CPU must also save the state of the registers to allow another thread to restore those registers for itself. In this way, a single CPU can switch from one thread to another and pick up from exactly where it left off.


How does the carbon cycle work with the nitrogen cycle?

Both of them are different, so both cycles work together. The carbon cycle lets out carbon dioxide and it then transfers it into the trees. The trees get the nitrogen and the cycle starts again.
