Complex Instruction Set Computer (Cisc) : (CPU) Supports Hundreds of Instructions

CISC is a type of computer architecture that supports hundreds of instructions in a single CPU. A single CISC instruction can contain multiple operations like loading data from memory, arithmetic operations, and memory storage. This provides higher throughput at lower memory usage by supporting complex operations through various addressing modes in a single instruction. Addressing modes define how instructions identify operands in memory and support complex data structures and flexible memory access. However, variable instruction times can be a problem since operation time depends on operand locations.

COMPLEX INSTRUCTION SET COMPUTER (CISC)

This is a type of computer architecture in which central processing unit (CPU) supports hundreds of instructions. Single operation of CISC can contain several operations (executions) such as, load data from memory Arithmetic operation Memory storage or In general it can operate multiple step operation in a single instruction through addressing mode. CISC architecture provides a higher level of throughput at lower memory using easily programmable high-level language according to the designed hardware.

CISC CONT.
CISC designs architecture provides a large number of addressing modes in order
To support complex data structures and

To provide flexibility to access operands.

Problems caused by CISC ,

it causes variable instruction execution times, depending on the location of the operands.

TYPES OF ADDRESSING MODE IN CISC


Immediate addressing mode Direct addressing mode Indirect addressing mode Register addressing mode Register indirect addressing mode Displacement addressing mode Stack addressing mode

ADDRESSING MODE
Addressing modes are an aspect of the instruction set architecture in most central processing unit (CPU) designs. The various addressing modes that are defined in a given instruction set architecture define how machine language instructions in that architecture identify the operand.

CPU COMPONENTS
C PU is the brain of a computer It Controls all operations and program execution CPU consists of four components which are,
Control units; controls all operations Arithmetic and Logic Unit; it performs all mathematical operation Register; deals with internal storage CPU Interconnection; provides communication
