Data and instructions• Our CPU processes instructions and data. It receives orders from the software. The CPU
is fed a gentle stream of binary data via the RAM.
• These instructions can also be called program code.
• Data is typically user data.
•
The instructions process the user data.
Instructions and compatibility
• Instructions are binary code which the CPU can understand.
• All processors, whether they are in PC’s or other types of computers, work with a
particular instruction set.
• That is why people use programming tools
, The program code produced has to match the CPU’s instruction set. Otherwise it cannot be
run.
