Overview of the Instruction Set

Objectives

1. Investigate the basic intel instruction set

Notes

• This is Jorgensen chapter 8
• We will begin to investigate the instructions, specifically
  • Data Movement
  • Conversion
  • Math
  • Logical
  • Control.
• He mentions that a complete list of instructions is presented in appendix B (starting on physical page 325 in the pdf)
• As we have mentioned, the basic intel instruction is in the format
  • mnemonic operand1, operand2
  • But some are just
    • mnemonic
    • mnemonic operand
• In any case, on absolute page 86 he presents his shorthand for operands
