Single Accumulator based CPU
organization
The computers, present in the early days of computer history, had
accumulator based CPUs.
In this type of CPU organization, the accumulator register is used
implicitly for processing all instructions of a program and store the results
into the accumulator.
Single Accumulator based CPU
organization
>The main points about Single Accumulator based CPU Organisation are:
In this CPU Organization, the first ALU operand is always stored into the
Accumulator and the second operand is present either in Registers or in
the Memory.
Single Accumulator based CPU organization
• Accumulator is the default address thus after data manipulation the
results are stored into the accumulator.
• One address instruction is used in this type of organization.
• The instruction format that is used by this CPU Organisation is One
address field. Due to this the CPU is known as One Address Machine.

Data transfer operation
–
>In this type of operation, the data is transferred from a source to a destination.
For ex: LOAD X, STORE Y
>Here LOAD is memory read operation that is data is transfer from memory to accumulator and
STORE is memory write operation that is data is transfer from accumulator to memory .
ALUoperation –
>In this type of operation, arithmetic operations are performed on the
data.
For ex: MULT X
>where X is the address of the operand. The MULT instruction in this
example performs the operation,
AC <-- AC * M[X]
>AC is the Accumulator and M[X] is the memory word located at
location X.
>This type of CPU organization is first used in PDP-8 processor and is
used for process control and laboratory applications.
>It has been totally replaced by the introduction of the new general
register based CPU.
Advantages
One of the operands is always held by the accumulator register. This
results in short instructions and less memory space.
Instruction cycle takes less time because it saves time in instruction
fetching from memory.
Disadvantages
• When complex expressions are computed, program size increases due
to the usage of many short instructions to execute it. Thus memory
size increases.
• As the number of instructions increases for a program, the execution
time increases.
