What is a con for General-purpose-register architecture?

Because all operands must be named, using registers results in longer instructions, causing longer fetch and decode times.

How does memory organization affect instruction format?

If memory has, for example, 16- or 32- bit words and is not byte-addressable, it is difficult to access a single character. For this reason, even machines that have 16-, 32-, or 64- bit words are often byte-addressable, meaning every byte has a unique address even though words are longer than 1 byte.

What are some disadvantages of a Stack architecture?

It cannot be accessed randomly, which makes it difficult to generate efficient code. The stack can also become bottlenecked during execution.

What is an Arithmetic Operation?

It includes instructions that use integers and ffloating point numbers.

How does a Stack architecture work?

It uses a stack data structure to execute instructions, the operands are located on the top of the stack.

Some machines store a two-byte integer with the least significant byte first, followed by the most significant byte. What does this refer to?

Little endian machines.

When a byte at a lower address has lower significance it is called?

Little endian.

Give an example of an Accumulator architechture

MARIE, with one operand implicitly in the accumulator, minimizes the internal complexity of the machine and allows for very short instructions.
