Memory Operations

• Memory operations allow data to be retrieved from memory or results to be written to memory.
• CPU's have a LOAD command that specifies a memory address and a register adress.
• As a result of the LOAD operation the data at the specified adress are stored in the given register.
• Data stored in the register are available for processing by the ALU.
• Similarly, results of an operation can be written to a given address in main memory via the STORE command.
• Additional memory operations allow registers to be cleared or constants to be stored in registers.
