Instruction Structure
NAR 2 processor Machine instructions was made of a single 32-bit machine word and contained:
- opcode in 8 most significant bits (bits 24 to 31)
- 4 bits (20 to 23) specifying the Index register to use with indexed addressing modes
- 4 bits (16 to 19) containing address mode flags:
- bit 19: P (sr. Posredno, en. mediated) - indexed
- bit 18: R (sr. Relativno) - relative to program counter
- bit 17: I (sr. Indirektno) - multi-level memory indirect (note: the address is loaded from specified location and, should it also specify "I" flag the indirect address calculation continues)
- bit 16: N (sr. Neposredno) - immediate
- 16 bit signed parameter value

Famous quotes containing the words instruction and/or structure:
“Much of the pressure contemporary parents feel with respect to dressing children in designer clothes, teaching young children academics, and giving them instruction in sports derives directly from our need to use our children to impress others with our economic surplus. We find “good” rather than real reasons for letting our children go along with the crowd.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
