Basically the set of instructions which a particular Microprocessor can recognise such as add, subtract.
A list of the specific instructions that tell the CPU what to do.
(n.) the set of low level instructions that a computer is capable of executing. Programs expressed in a high level language must ultimately be reduced to these.
the collection of all the machine-language instructions available to the programmer. [SILC99
(1) (IEEE) The complete set of instructions recognized by a given computer or provided by a given programming language. (2) (ISO) The set of the instructions of a computer, of a programming language, or of the programming languages in a programming system. See: computer instruction set.
a processor's language
a set of instructions a CPU can execute
The set of instructions, on the CPU chip, that the computer can perform directly (such as ADD and MOVE).
A set of assembly language mnemonics which represent the machine code of a particular computer.
the group of instructions that is recognized by a processor.
The collection of instructions in the assembly language the creatures are written in. Whenever an instruction is mutated, the new instruction is chosen at random from the instruction set (with all instructions given an equal probability of being selected).
The set of instructions that the microprocessor can execute. The instruction set specifies types of instructions (such as load/store, integer arithmetic, and branch instructions), specific instructions, and the encoding used for the instructions. The instruction set definition also specifies the addressing modes used for accessing memory.
The standard instruction set used by CPU. There are two main instruction sets RISC and CISC.
A list of all the operating instructions that dictate how a processor handles the data it is given. Different instruction sets perform work in different ways. Traditionally, the two main instruction set philosophies were Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC), typified by Intel's Pentium® processors and Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC), typified by HP's PA-RISC processors. Both philosophies were geared towards bringing new levels of performance to the user. Now HP and Intel® have unified their considerable design knowledge to bring you the Itanium™ processor family architecture, which will set new standards for performance.
a set of commands that a certain CPU understands. These are very basic instructions that are wired into the logic of the CPU.
An instruction set is (a list of) all instructions, and all their variations, that a processor can execute.
