Program Status Register
Contains some information about the current program and some information about the
current processor. Also referred to as Processor Status Register.
Also referred to as
Current PSR
(CPSR), to emphasize the distinction between it and
the
Saved PSR
(SPSR). The SPSR holds the value the PSR had when the current
function was called, and which will be restored when control is returned.
PSR
See
Program Status Register.
RAZ
Read as zero.
Reduced Instruction Set Computer
A type of microprocessor that recognizes a lower number of instructions in comparison
with a Complex Instruction Set Computer. The advantages of RISC architectures are:
•
they can execute their instructions very fast because the instructions are so simple
•
they require fewer transistors, this makes them cheaper to produce and more
power efficient.

RISC

Reduced Instruction Set Computer
Saved Program Status Register
The Saved Program Status Register which is associated with the current processor mode
and is undefined if there is no such Saved Program Status Register, as in User mode or
System mode.
See also
Program Status Register.
SBO
See
Should Be One fields.
SBZ
See
Should Be Zero fields.
Should Be One fields
Should be written as one (or all ones for bit fields) by software. Values other than one
produces unpredictable results.
See also
Should Be Zero fields.
Should Be Zero fields
Should be written as zero (or all 0s for bit fields) by software. Values other than zero
produce unpredictable results.
See also
Should Be One fields.
Software Interrupt Instruction
This instruction (SWI) enters Supervisor mode to request a particular operating system
function.
