Today we heard from [Richard James Howe] about his new CPU. This new 16-bit CPU is implemented in VHDL for an FPGA. The really cool thing about this CPU is that it eschews the typical program count… ...

A register in the control unit of the CPU that is used to keep track of the address of the current or next instruction. Typically, the program counter is advanced to the next instruction, and then ...

Counter Control software can help you monitor performance counters and logs the “IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL” register of Intel Core processors, located at MSR 0x38D.

The memory close memory The part of a computer that stores data. address held in the program counter is copied into the MAR. The address in the program counter is then incremented (increased) by one.

DMA0 is used as the program counter, which points DMA1 to an array of DMA control blocks, a sequence of which codes for some of the ‘opcodes’ of the CPU model.
