What A CPU really only understands instructions that are written in machine language.?
A CPU will have an "instruction set" which consists of primitive instructions i.e a command like MOVE:1002,1003 could be an example of an instruction to move the contents in memory location 1002 to the memory location of 1003. Some CPU's operate as a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) and others operate as a CISC(Complex Instruction Set Computer). Which basically means some have more "primitive instructions" than others but the more complex an instruction is - The more work will be needed to execute it. Alan Turing proved only 6 of these primitive commands are needed to compute anything that is "computable" by machines. Nowadays, programmers will write code in an "high level" language which contains more of these "primitive commands" but then the code will be compiled into a set of instructions that the CPU can actually execute (i.e to the instruction set of the targeted CPU). If we were to try to write any sufficiently complex program using only the instruction sets of CPU's, it would become very complicated for humans to understand and would take a ridiculously long time.
What are the set of commands called to make every CPU work?
This is usually called the instruction set, but sometimes it was called the order code (usually in early british computers where some of the designers had worked at Bletchley Park during the war).
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.
What are programs that tell the computer what to do?
All programs tell the computer what to do, that is the primary purpose of programs. The program (more accurately -set- of programs) which is the mother of all programs & gives the user direct control over the computer is called the "operating system"
6 What is the role of a Micro sequencer in Microprogramming Control Unit?
In computer architecture and engineering, a sequencer or microsequencer is a part of the control unit of a CPU. It generates the addresses used to step through themicroprogram of a control store.Usually the addresses are generated by some combination of a counter, a field from a microinstruction, and some subset of the instruction register. A counter is used for the typical case, that the next microinstruction is the one to execute. A field from the microinstruction is used for jumps, or other logic.Since CPUs implement an instruction set, it's very useful to be able to decode the instruction's bits directly into the sequencer, to select a set of microinstructions to perform a CPU's instructions.Most modern CPUs are considerably more complex than this description suggests. They tend to have multiple cooperating micromachines with specialized logic to detect and handle interference between the micromachines.
What is considered a function of the instruction set for the CPU?
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
Which CPU's have the SSE4 instruction set?
Planned x86 processors will have the SSE4 instruction set.
What is the term for a CPU's complete set of commands?
The entire set of instuctions that a CPU can execute is known as the CPU INSTUCTION SET.
Where is the CPUs instruction set stored?
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.
What is the instruction set in CPU?
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.
Type instruction set used by CPU that has a large number of instructions?
CISC (complex instruction set computing)
What is a processors instruction set?
The set of instructions, on the CPU chip, that the computer can perform directly.
What is an instruction?
The set of instructions, on the CPU chip, that the computer can perform directly.
The Instruction set refers to the commands that a CPU knows how to complete?
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).
What does an amd CPU use for multimedia?
3DNOW is the technology that AMD processors use for multimedia instruction set.
What is called the collection of commands that a specific CPU executes?
machine code instruction set or assembly language
How Do You describe the shape of a data set?
You describe the shape, not of the data set, but of its density function.You describe the shape, not of the data set, but of its density function.You describe the shape, not of the data set, but of its density function.You describe the shape, not of the data set, but of its density function.
