  2. Instruction set architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_set_architecture

    A given instruction set can be implemented in a variety of ways. All ways of implementing a particular instruction set provide the same programming model, and all implementations of that instruction set are able to run the same executables. The various ways of implementing an instruction set give different tradeoffs between cost, performance ...

  3. Minimal instruction set computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_instruction_set...

    A MISC CPU cannot have zero instructions as that is a zero instruction set computer. A MISC CPU cannot have one instruction as that is a one instruction set computer. [4] The implemented CPU instructions should by default not support a wide set of inputs, so this typically means an 8-bit or 16-bit CPU.

  4. Comparison of instruction set architectures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instruction...

    An instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer, also referred to as computer architecture.A realization of an ISA is called an implementation.An ISA permits multiple implementations that may vary in performance, physical size, and monetary cost (among other things); because the ISA serves as the interface between software and hardware.

  5. Machine code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_code

    Every processor or processor family has its own instruction set. Instructions are patterns of bits, digits, or characters that correspond to machine commands. Thus, the instruction set is specific to a class of processors using (mostly) the same architecture. Successor or derivative processor designs often include instructions of a predecessor ...

  6. Simple-As-Possible computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple-As-Possible_computer

    The instruction set architecture (ISA) that the computer final version (SAP-3) is designed to implement is patterned after and upward compatible with the ISA of the Intel 8080/8085 microprocessor family. Therefore, the instructions implemented in the three SAP computer variations are, in each case, a subset of the 8080/8085 instructions. [2]

  7. Scripting language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language

    In computing, a script is a relatively short and simple set of instructions that typically automate an otherwise manual process. The act of writing a script is called scripting. A scripting language or script language is a programming language that is used for scripting. [1]

  8. Computer program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_program

    A computer program is a sequence or set [a] of instructions in a programming language for a computer to execute.It is one component of software, which also includes documentation and other intangible components.

  9. x86 instruction listings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings

    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. The x86 instruction set has been extended several times, introducing wider registers and datatypes as well as new ...
