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.


1 Define the two main categories of processor registers?

User-visible registers: Enable the machine- or assembly-language programmer to minimize main memory references by optimizing register use.Control and status registers: Used by the processor to control the operation of the processor and by privileged, operating system routines to control the execution of programs.

Which library procedure will be used to display the CPU flags and 32-bit registers?

To display the CPU flags and 32-bit registers, you can use the DUMPREGS procedure in assembly language or system-level programming. This procedure typically reads the current state of the CPU registers and flags, allowing for debugging and analysis of the processor's status. Additionally, tools like debuggers (e.g., GDB for Linux) can also be employed to inspect these registers interactively.
