Data and program instructions are temporarily held in what while the processor is using them?
RAM or the processor cacheWhen the data and instructions reach the RAM they are operated on immediately.For data and instructions that the CPU is working on right at that time, these memory locations are called Registers. Many systems have dedicated registers just for EITHER data or instructions, while others have a set of registers which can be used for either, and still other CPUs have all three (data, instruction, and general-use registers).
What are small holding areas on the processor chip that work much as RAM does outside the processor?
Registers
What is the fastest type of memory?
The fastest type of memory on a computer is the registers that form the execution model of the processor.
Examples of primary storage devices?
RAM CACHE REgisters of processors
Who invented the first computer with RAM?
Microsoft
What are the 2 basic forms of semiconductor RAM?
Static, and Dynamic.
What is the purpose of the registers and cache memory in the computer system?
The register is a collection of different settings and configurations for the operating system. Cache memory is a way for the computer to load webpages faster by storing them in RAM.
IN 8085 local variables will get stored in?
Registers or RAM-memory.
When did first computer RAM exist in India?
1956
Why are registers in a microprocessor necessary if the same operations can be done using RAM only?
Registers in a microprocessor are utilized, even though the same operations can be done using RAM, in order to boost performance. Registers, although adding cost and complexity, are very much faster than RAM. Its a balance between performance and cost.
Which is faster among ram or cache or CD rom or registers?
cache
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.
