Revision as of 15:01, 10 October 2015 edit 73.210.154.39 (talk) Tags added for obvious reason. Current sourcing is not encyclopedic, with incomplete references of intermediate quality that are prone to becoming dead links.

Line 8: Depending on architecture, the ''operands'' may be [[processor register\|register]] values, values in the [[call stack\|stack]], other [[memory]] values, [[I/O]] ports, etc., specified and accessed using more or less complex [[addressing mode]]s. The types of ''operations'' include [[arithmetic]]s, data copying, [[logical operation]]s, and program control, as well as special instructions (such as [[CPUID]] and others). [[Assembly language]], or just ''assembly'', is a [[low-level programming language]], which uses [[Assembly language#Opcode mnemonics and extended mnemonics\|mnemonic]]s, instructions and operands to represent [[machine code]]. This enhances the readability while still giving precise control over the machine instructions. Most programming is currently done using [[high-level programming language]]s,~~<ref name="tiobe">[http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html TIOBE Software Popularity Index]</ref>~~<ref name=langpop>http://langpop.com/</ref> which are typically easier to read and write. These languages need to be compiled (translated into assembly language), or run through other compiled programs.<ref name="asm">[http://www.swansontec.com/sprogram.htm Introduction to Assembly Language]</ref> =={{Anchor\|SIS}}Software instruction sets==
