instruction set

Expand Post »

Can somebody explain to me or point me in good direction for some help on instruction sets and addresses? I have problems where it tells you that your computer has instruction that is 12 bits and addresses that are 4 bits. Then asks questions like is it possible to have 12 two address instructions and so on. I've read my book and googled it, but nothing has really helped.

Re: instruction set

Is this where an instruction contains its addresses? For example, an instruction "0000 0001 0010" might mean "copy the value from register 1 into register 2", because "0000" means "copy", and "0001" and "0010" are "addresses" of a register. I don't really know the lingo.
