Best Answer

Registers are memory locations on the microprocessor itself (not in main memory). In RISC architectures generally most operations (add, multiply, etc) must take there input from registers and write their output to a register. Since registers are located directly on the microprocessor, they represent the fastest form of memory in the computer, and also the type of memory available in the least quantity.

Difference between HTML and assembly language?

HTML : Hypertext Markup Language is a scripting language used to write websites. Assembly language is a programming language (aka ASM). It uses memory registers like EAX, ECX to hold values and commands like JMP, ADD, MOV to alter those values. Assembly language is very close to machine language and very abstract to the untrained eye. In short, they are nothing a like, and share no similarities.


Can you add two registers directly in assembly language?

Yes, as long as one of them is the accumulator... ADD BX ... adds BX to AX and leaves the result in AX.

Describe the sequence of events that takes place when an interrupt is raised?

Interrupt Handling 1. Hardware stacks program counter, etc. 2. Hardware loads new program counter from interrupt vector. 3. Assembly language procedure saves registers. 4. Assembly language procedure sets up new stack. 5. C interrupt service runs (typically reads and buffers input). 6. Scheduler decides which process is to run next. 7. C procedure returns to the assembly code. 8. Assembly language procedure starts up new current process.
