As long as the program (and data) can reside in the processor registers (or processor cache if it has some on-chip) then I see no problem. Such a program would be nigh-on-useless.sorry to move slightly off topic, but is it possible to run a program just using a processor as they have a very small ammount of memory?
As far as the microprocessors that have dealt with are concerned, they all tended to assume that the first instruction was at a memory location that was outside the device itself.sorry to move slightly off topic, but is it possible to run a program just using a processor as they have a very small ammount of memory?
Hi hgmjr,As far as the microprocessors that have dealt with are concerned, they all tended to assume that the first instruction was at a memory location that was outside the device itself.
It seems like the only storage that a microprocessor has are registers that are used to hold data temporarily. I can't imagine how one could do anything useful with them.
I think the better comparison would be a bicycle to a motorcycle engine.tbh this is like comparing a bicycle to a motor!![]()
