This refers to the width of the processor. A byte has 8 bits and codes 0 to 28-1 (255). Most computers have 32 bit processors.

What is an accumulator in microprocessor?

the accumulator is an 8-bit register then is part of the arithmetic/logic unit(ALU). this register is used to store to store 8-bit data and to perform arithmetic & logical operation. the result of an operation is stored in the accumulator. the accumulator is also identified as register A.


What is the h-L register?

A register in computer science refers to a section of RAM used to store and operate on their values. There are several registers, such as the A, B, C, D, E, F, H, and L registers, although, the names of these may very depending on the processor and the assembler. All of these registers mentioned are 8bit registers. Meaning, they can only hold 1 byte of data, ranging from 0 to 255. In order to achieve more memory, you can combine two registers. For example, the "HL" register refers to a combination of the "H" and "L" registers which create a 16bit, or 2 byte, section of RAM for storing data. So, in conclusion, the HL register is a 16bit section of RAM in which you can store two bytes of data and operate on their values.

Why ax register must be used in multiplication and division?

bcz multiplication and division done in 16bit operation so we must ve to use pair of reg so we ve to use ax reg ....... thats why final value store in a and b pair of reg....


The sun ultra spark processor has multiple register sets what else must happen if the new context is in memory rather than in a register set and all the register sets are in use?

The CPU current-register-set pointer is changed to point to the set containing the new context,which takes very little time. If the context is in memory, one of the contexts in a register set must be chosen and be moved to memory, and the new context must be loaded from memory into the set. This process takes a little more time than on systems with one set of registers, depending on how a replacement victim is selected


What is the instruction format of 8085?

An instruction is a command to the microprocessor to perform a given task on specified data. Each instruction has two parts: One is task to be performed,called the operation code (opcode). Second is the data to be operated on, called the operand. It can be specified in various ways,it may include 8bit/16bit data, an internal register, a memory location , or 8bit/16bit address. In some instructions, the operand is implicit. The 8085 instruction set is classified into three groups according to Word size. They are- 1. One word / 1 byte instructions 2. Ttwo word / 2byte instructions 3. Three word / 3byte instructions

What happens if the new context is in memory rather than in a register set and all of the register sets are in use?

If the context is in memory, one of the contexts in a register set must be chosen and be moved to memory, and the new context must be loaded from memory into the set. This process's time is more time than on systems with one set of registers, depending on how a replacement target is selected.
