  2. Machine code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_code

    v. t. e. Machine language monitor running on a W65C816S microprocessor, displaying code disassembly, as well as processor register and memory dumps. In computer programming, machine code is computer code consisting of machine language instructions, which are used to control a computer's central processing unit (CPU).

  3. Low-level programming language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-level_programming_language

    Machine code is the form in which code that can be directly executed is stored on a computer. It consists of machine language instructions, stored in memory, that perform operations such as moving values in and out of memory locations, arithmetic and Boolean logic, and testing values and, based on the test, either executing the next instruction in memory or executing an instruction at another ...

  4. Instruction set architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_set_architecture

    In computer science, an instruction set architecture ( ISA) is an abstract model that generally defines how software controls the CPU in a computer or a family of computers. [1] A device or program that executes instructions described by that ISA, such as a central processing unit (CPU), is called an implementation of that ISA.

  5. Microcode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcode

    t. e. In processor design, microcode serves as an intermediary layer situated between the central processing unit (CPU) hardware and the programmer-visible instruction set architecture of a computer, also known as its machine code. [1] [page needed] It consists of a set of hardware-level instructions that implement the higher-level machine code ...

  6. Computer programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

    Computer programming or coding is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs, that computers can follow to perform tasks. [1] [2] It involves designing and implementing algorithms, step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages. Programmers typically use high-level programming ...

  7. Assembly language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language

    The binary code for this instruction is 10110 followed by a 3-bit identifier for which register to use. The identifier for the AL register is 000, so the following machine code loads the AL register with the data 01100001. 10110000 01100001 This binary computer code can be made more human-readable by expressing it in hexadecimal as follows. B0 61

  8. Universal Turing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Turing_machine

    Category:Turing machine. v. t. e. In computer science, a universal Turing machine ( UTM) is a Turing machine capable of computing any computable sequence, [1] as described by Alan Turing in his seminal paper "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem ". Common sense might say that a universal machine is impossible ...

  9. x86 instruction listings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings

    Undocumented. v. t. e. The x86 instruction set refers to the set of instructions that x86 -compatible microprocessors support. The instructions are usually part of an executable program, often stored as a computer file and executed on the processor.
