What Is The Difference Between The Shift and Rotate Instructions?

The document discusses several topics related to computer architecture and processors: 1) A rotate instruction moves data out of one end and back into the other end, while a shift instruction loses the data moved out of the last bit locations. 2) A JMP instruction permanently changes the program counter, while a CALL instruction leaves information on the stack to resume the original execution sequence. 3) Addressing modes specify operand locations and include immediate, register, direct, indirect, and implicit addressing. This summarizes the key points about the difference between rotate and shift instructions, JMP and CALL instructions, and types of addressing modes discussed in the document in under 3 sentences.

--What is the difference between the shift and rotate instructions?

A rotate instruction is a closed loop instruction. That is, the data moved out at one end is put back in at the
other end. The shift instruction loses the data that is moved out of the last bit locations.

--Explain the difference between a JMP instruction and CALL instruction


A JMP instruction permanently changes the program counter. A CALL instruction leaves information on the stack
so that the original program execution sequence can be resumed.

--What is the use of addressing modes, mention the different types?


The various formats of specifying the operands are called addressing modes, it is used to access the operands
or data. The different types are as follows
- Immediate addressing
- Register addressing
- Direct addressing
- Indirect addressing
- Implicit addressing
--What is 1st / 2nd / 3rd / 4th generation processor?
The processor made of PMOS / NMOS / HMOS / HCMOS technology is called 1st / 2nd / 3rd / 4th generation
processor, and it is made up of 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 bits.
--Name the processor lines of two major manufacturers?
High-end: Intel - Pentium (II, III, 4), AMD - Athlon. Low-end: Intel - Celeron, AMD - Duron. 64-bit: Intel Itanium 2, AMD - Opteron.
--Whats the speed and device maximum specs for Firewire?
IEEE 1394 (Firewire) supports the maximum of 63 connected devices with speeds up to 400 Mbps. Wheres
MBR located on the disk? Main Boot Record is located in sector 0, track 0, head 0, cylinder 0 of the primary
active partition.
--Where does CPU Enhanced mode originate from?
Intels 80386 was the first 32-bit processor, and since the company had to backward-support the 8086. All the
modern Intel-based processors run in the Enhanced mode, capable of switching between Real mode (just like
the real 8086) and Protected mode, which is the current mode of operation.

--What are the flags in 8086?


In 8086 Carry flag, Parity flag, Auxiliary carry flag, Zero flag, Overflow flag, Trace flag, Interrupt flag, Direction
flag, and Sign flag.
