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.
Planned x86 processors will have the SSE4 instruction set.
The entire set of instuctions that a CPU can execute is known as the CPU INSTUCTION 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
They tell the CPU where to find the data, when to read it, and what to do with it.
CISC (complex instruction set computing)
The set of instructions, on the CPU chip, that the computer can perform directly.
The set of instructions, on the CPU chip, that the computer can perform directly.
The CPU's instruction set is not stored anywhere. Rather, it is an integral part of the silicon that the CPU is made out of. The "instruction set" is actually a metaphor used to describe the different effects of charges at different points in the CPU. Just because I call a certain operation "add" doesn't mean anything to the CPU. Charges are applied and due to the way they are applied, different transistors open and close, providing different effects.
Yes, Instruction Set is the list of OPCODES that CPU (Processor) understands & performs on those instructions (i.e. enables devices to communicate, process received instructions & directing towards the right output devices).
3DNOW is the technology that AMD processors use for multimedia instruction set.
machine code instruction set or assembly language
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
