In mathematics, an operand is the object of a mathematical operation, i.e., it is the object or quantity that is operated on. The following arithmetic...
(TTA), only operand(s). Most stack machines have "0-operand" instruction sets in which arithmetic and logical operations lack any operand specifier fields;...
Operand forwarding (or data forwarding) is an optimization in pipelined CPUs to limit performance deficits which occur due to pipeline stalls. A data...
units (GPUs). The inputs to an ALU are the data to be operated on, called operands, and a code indicating the operation to be performed; the ALU's output...
two-operand form a ← a + b can now use a non-destructive three-operand form c ← a + b, preserving both source operands. Originally, AVX's three-operand format...
decrement operators are unary operators that increase or decrease their operand by one. They are commonly found in imperative programming languages. C-like...
bitwise operations are presented as two-operand instructions where the result replaces one of the input operands. On simple low-cost processors, typically...
one offending instruction. More formally, the bug is called the invalid operand with locked CMPXCHG8B instruction bug. In the x86 architecture, the byte...
written ?:, is a binary operator that returns the evaluated first operand if that operand evaluates to a value likened to logically true (according to a...
defines a set of 4-operand fused-multiply-add instructions that take four input operands – a destination operand and three source operands. FMA3 is supported...
In electronic low power digital synchronous circuit design, operand isolation is a technique for minimizing the energy overhead associated with redundant...
instructions for both a stack machine and a register machine, utilizing an operand stack and local variables for executing operations. The bytecode comprises...
more specifiers for operands (i.e. data) on which the operation should act, although some operations may have implicit operands, or none at all. There...
representation of AND which does its work on the bits of the operands rather than the truth value of the operands. Bitwise binary AND performs logical conjunction...
the destination. The four-operand form (FMA4) allows a, b, c and d to be four different registers, while the three-operand form (FMA3) requires that d...
architecture identify the operand(s) of each instruction. An addressing mode specifies how to calculate the effective memory address of an operand by using information...
immediate operand bits to specify a 4th register operand (IS4 above). At most one of the operands can be a memory operand; and at most one of the operands can...

the index is scaled by the operand length. Indirect The instruction specifies the location of a word that describes the operand, possibly involving multiple...
processor register (or an assigned memory location) used for pointing to operand addresses during the run of a program. It is useful for stepping through...
exits. Each frame provides an "operand stack" and an array of "local variables". The operand stack is used for operands to run computations and for receiving...
parentheses. If an operand is both preceded and followed by operators (for example, ^ 3 ^), and those operators have equal precedence, then the operand may be used...
