Types of registers

·        
Status Registers: These
are registers which hold
truth values often used to determine whether some instruction
should or should not be executed.

  • Floating-Point
    Registers
    (FPRs): These are used to store floating point numbers in many architectures.
  • Constant Registers: Constant registers hold read-only values such as zero, one, or pi.
  • Vector Registers: These are registers
    that

    hold data for
    vector
    processing
    done by SIMD instructions (Single Instruction, Multiple
    Data).
·        
Data Registers: These are registers that can hold numeric values
such as
integer, floating-point values, as well as characters, small bit arrays and other data.
·        
Address Registers: Address registers hold addresses and are used by instructions that
indirectly access
primary memory. Some processors contain registers that may only
be used to hold an address or only to hold numeric values, others allow
registers to hold either kind of quantity.
·        
General-Purpose
Registers
(GPRs): This can store both data and addresses, i.e., they
are combined data/address registers and rarely the register file is unified to include floating point as
well.

Perfectly written content, thank you for entropy. “He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak.” by Michel de Montaigne.

Sweet blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Cheers
