An ALU has a variety of input and output nets, which are the electrical conductors used to convey digital signals between the ALU and external circuitry. When an ALU is operating, external circuits apply signals to the ALU inputs and, in response, the ALU produces and conveys signals to external circuitry via its outputs.
where Z and POS are locations previously set to contain 0 and a positive integer, respectively; Unconditional branching is assured only if Z initially contains 0 (or a value less than the integer stored in POS). A follow-up instruction is required to clear Z after the branching, assuming that the content of Z must be maintained as 0.
Connect register 1 to the A side of the ALU; Connect register 7 to the B side of the ALU; Set the ALU to perform two's-complement addition; Set the ALU's carry input to zero; Store the result value in register 8; Update the condition codes from the ALU status flags (negative, zero, overflow, and carry)
For x86 ALU size of 8 bits, an 8-bit two's complement interpretation, the addition operation 11111111 + 11111111 results in 111111110, Carry_Flag set, Sign_Flag set, and Overflow_Flag clear. If 11111111 represents two's complement signed integer −1 ( ADD al,-1 ), then the interpretation of the result is -2 because Overflow_Flag is clear, and ...
Integer overflow can be demonstrated through an odometer overflowing, a mechanical version of the phenomenon. All digits are set to the maximum 9 and the next increment of the white digit causes a cascade of carry-over additions setting all digits to 0, but there is no higher digit (1,000,000s digit) to change to a 1, so the counter resets to zero.
Many people use their phone for a morning alarm. But you might sleep better and wake up easier with a dedicated clock.
The zero flag is a single bit flag that is a central feature on most conventional CPU architectures (including x86, ARM, PDP-11, 68000, 6502, and numerous others).It is often stored in a dedicated register, typically called status register or flag register, along with other flags.
