What is the purpose of a register in a CPU?
Think of it as short-term storage directly in the CPU.
Name one type of user visible register.
Remember categories discussed in class.
What do user-visible registers primarily store?
Think about how registers are used during computations.
True or False: Condition code registers can be used directly by programmers.
Consider which registers are directly manipulated by coding.
Given an instruction set where the CPU has only three general-purpose registers, how would you optimize the use of registers to maximize performance?
Draw parallels with storing values versus fetching from a larger array.
Discuss how having additional condition code bits could enhance processor capabilities when dealing with complex operations.
Think of programming languages that handle multiple conditions within a single statement.
