Its role is to point to the next instruction to be executed in the CPU. It always points to the next instruction to be executed in the CPU
it's instruction pointer register it's in cpu and it holds the instruction which the cpu fetching it from memory
Not necessarily. Some processors (Z80, for example) allow "prefixes" before the op-code.
They tell the CPU where to find the data, when to read it, and what to do with it.
Planned x86 processors will have the SSE4 instruction set.
The Functions of the instruction set is to instruct All CPU's with a set of instructions: Tells the CPU where to find data When to read the data What to do with the data. Hope that helps Don
It is a system of coded numbers that when read by the CPU control unit are interpreted as commands for the various operations it can perform. Each different type of CPU has a differently coded instruction set.
Random Access
the number of bits required to represent an instruction of a cpu is known as length of the instruction or known as instruction.
The entire set of instuctions that a CPU can execute is known as the CPU INSTUCTION SET.
The instruction register.
This is the fetch instruction that the CPU takes for executing.
