  2. Arithmetic logic unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_logic_unit

    To do this, the algorithm treats each integer as an ordered collection of ALU-size fragments, arranged from most-significant (MS) to least-significant (LS) or vice versa. For example, in the case of an 8-bit ALU, the 24-bit integer 0x123456 would be treated as a collection of three 8-bit fragments: 0x12 (MS), 0x34, and 0x56 (LS). Since the size ...

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

    An arithmetic logic unit (ALU) capable of adding and subtracting 8-bit 2's complement integers from registers A and B. This module also has a flags register with two possible flags (Z and C). Z stands for "zero," and is activated if the ALU outputs zero. C stands for "carry," and is activated if the ALU produces a carry-out bit.

  4. 8-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8-bit_computing

    An 8-bit register can store 2 8 different values. The range of integer values that can be stored in 8 bits depends on the integer representation used. With the two most common representations, the range is 0 through 255 (2 8 − 1) for representation as an binary number, and −128 (−1 × 2 7) through 127 (2 7 − 1) for representation as two's complement.

  5. Half-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    The advantage over 8-bit or 16-bit integers is that the increased dynamic range allows for more detail to be preserved in highlights and shadows for images, and avoids gamma correction. The advantage over 32-bit single-precision floating point is that it requires half the storage and bandwidth (at the expense of precision and range). [5]

  6. Carry-lookahead adder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry-lookahead_adder

    It can be contrasted with the simpler, but usually slower, ripple-carry adder (RCA), for which the carry bit is calculated alongside the sum bit, and each stage must wait until the previous carry bit has been calculated to begin calculating its own sum bit and carry bit. The carry-lookahead adder calculates one or more carry bits before the sum ...

  7. RCA 1802 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_1802

    The 1802 is an 8-bit byte machine, with minimal support for 16-bit operations, except via 2-byte manipulation. The primary accumulator is the 8-bit 'D' register (Data register). The single bit carry flag is DF (Data Flag). Most operations use the D register, including arithmetic and logic functions, and memory referencing load and store ...

    The bits of the new microstore address in the ROAR are determined as follows. bits 11–10: CD field; bits 9–6: CA field; bit 5: always 0; bits 4–1: high-order 4 bits of the Q register, which is the right input to the 8-bit ALU; bit 0: result of the test specified by the CC field; The CC field can specify various tests of the state of the ...

    Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]
