Registers | Computer Science

• Registers are small, fast memory locations that can be accessed directly by the CPU.
• General-purpose registers (GPR) store data used during program execution.
• Special-purpose registers have specific functions such as storing control information or addressing modes.
• Accumulator register is used to hold intermediate results during arithmetic operations.
• Program counter stores the address of the next instruction to execute.
• Instruction pointer points to the current instruction being executed.
