Knuckle mnemonic for the number of days in each month of the Gregorian calendar.Each knuckle represents a 31-day month. A mnemonic device (/ n ə ˈ m ɒ n ɪ k / nə-MON-ik) [1] or memory device is any learning technique that aids information retention or retrieval in the human memory, often by associating the information with something that is easier to remember.
CPU architecture Instruction mnemonic Bytes Opcode Notes Intel x86 CPU family NOP: 1 0x90 [2] 0x90 is the one-byte encoding for XCHG AX,AX in 16-bit code and XCHG EAX,EAX in 32-bit code. In long mode, XCHG RAX,RAX requires two bytes, as it would begin with an REX.W prefix, making the encoding 0x48 0x90.
In computer engineering, Halt and Catch Fire, known by the assembly language mnemonic HCF, is an idiom referring to a computer machine code instruction that causes the computer's central processing unit (CPU) to cease meaningful operation, typically requiring a restart of the computer.

In x86 assembly languages, mnemonics are used to represent fundamental CPU instructions, making the code more human-readable compared to raw machine code. [3] Each mnemonics corresponds to a basic operation performed by the processor, such as arithmetic calculations, data movement, or control flow decisions.
In computing, the SEX assembly language mnemonic has often been used for the "Sign EXtend" machine instruction found in the Motorola 6809. A computer's or CPU's "sex" can also mean the endianness of the computer architecture used. [1] x86 computers do not have the same "byte sex" as HC11 computers, for example. [2]
The first documented computer architecture was in the correspondence between Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, describing the analytical engine.While building the computer Z1 in 1936, Konrad Zuse described in two patent applications for his future projects that machine instructions could be stored in the same storage used for data, i.e., the stored-program concept.
A mnemonic to remember which way to turn common (right-hand thread) screws and nuts, including light bulbs, is "Righty-tighty, Lefty-loosey"; another is "Right on, Left off".
