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:
“I have come to believe ... that the stage may do more than teach, that much of our current moral instruction will not endure the test of being cast into a lifelike mold, and when presented in dramatic form will reveal itself as platitudinous and effete. That which may have sounded like righteous teaching when it was remote and wordy will be challenged afresh when it is obliged to simulate life itself.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“The syntactic component of a grammar must specify, for each sentence, a deep structure that determines its semantic interpretation and a surface structure that determines its phonetic interpretation.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
