TomF What does microcode do? I assume it is machine code running ?
TomVF
20:06:52
Microcode is the low-level software that runs the very basic operations of a chip, things like how to move data in memory from a cache to an internal register
trigger
20:09:19
hmm ok, would have thought there was a raw instruction to do that
TomVF
20:10:38
Maybe my example isn't great, but microcode tends to be burned into memory on the chip itself (not externally loaded) and does very low level things
TomVF
20:11:05
Patrice might have a better example...
patrice
20:17:09
It IS basically the lowest level instruction set. Anything below that is hardware basically.
