The following sections describe each of the Neuron Assembler instructions. The
description for each instruction includes a table with the following information:
• The hexadecimal representation of the instruction’s opcode
The opcode is the part of a machine instruction that informs the processor
of the type of operation to be performed and the type of data to be used.
The first byte of an instruction is its opcode, and remaining bytes are its
data. Some Neuron machine instructions have variable opcodes because
data is included in the opcode so that the instruction’s size can be as
small as possible.
• The size of the instruction, in bytes
Each machine instruction requires either one, two, or three bytes of
