REGISTER MEMORY
Registers are memory size is very small with very high-speed access. Registers used to store data and instructions are being processed, while that data and other instructions waiting to be processed are stored in
main memory. Registers in the CPU consists of:
1. Instruction Register (IR) is used to store instructions that ar processed.
2. Program Counter (PC) is a register that is used to store the address location of main memory containing the instruction being processed. during the process progresses, the content is converted to PC main memory address containing instructions The next to be processed. This makes it possible to trace The next instruction in main memory.
3. General-purpose registers, the registers that have a wide range of functions associated with the data being processed. For example, if used for accommodate the data being processed is referred to as the operand register, while if it is used to hold the processed result is called the accumulator.
4. Memory Data Register (MDR), which registers are used to hold data or instructions sent from main memory to the CPU, or contain data that saved to main memory as a result of CPU processing.
5. Memory Address Register (MAR) is used to hold data or address instructions on the main memory to be taken or to be placed
Registered (also called buffered) memory modules have a register between the DRAM modules and the system's memory controller. They place less electrical load on the memory controller and allow single systems to remain stable with more memory modules than they would have otherwise. Registered memory is often more expensive because of the lower volume and the additional components, so it is usually found only in applications where the need for scalability and stability outweighs the need for a low price (servers, for example). Although most server-grade memory modules are both ECC and registered, there are both registered non-ECC modules and non-registered ECC modules.
Nominally, there is a performance penalty for using registered memory. Each read or write is buffered for one cycle between the memory bus and the DRAM, so the registered RAM can be thought of as running one clock cycle behind the equivalent unregistered DRAM. With SDRAM, this only applies to the first cycle of a burst.
However, this performance penalty is not universal. There are other factors involved in memory access speed. For example, the Intel "Westmere" 5600 series of processors access memory using interleaving, wherein memory access is distributed across 3 channels. If 2 memory DIMMs are used per channel, this "...results in a reduction of maximum memory bandwidth for 2DPC (DIMMs per channel) configurations with UDIMM by some 5% in comparison to RDIMM." (p. 14). This is because "...when you go to 2 DIMMs per memory channel, due to the high electrical loading on the address and control lines, the memory controller use something called a “2T” or “2N” timing for UDIMMs. Consequently every command that normally takes a single clock cycle is stretched to two clock cycles to allow for settling time. Therefore, for two or more DIMMs per channel, RDIMMs will have lower latency and better bandwidth than UDIMMs."
Buffered memory
Buffered memory is an older term for registered memory (It's actually different and registered RAM won't fit in a standard slot, buffered refers to an electronic buffer placed between the memory and the memory controller).
However, some new large systems use "fully buffered memory". In normal registered/buffered memory, only the control lines are buffered whereas in fully buffered memory, the data lines are buffered as well.
TYPE OF REGISTER:
1. Registers are included in this group consists of registers CS, DS, ES and SS are respectively the 16-bitregisters. Registers in this group are generally used to indicate the address of a segment.
Register CS (Code Segment) is used to indicate the place of the current segment, while the SS register(Stack Segment) shows the location of the segments used by the stack. Both of these registers should not be any change because it would cause chaos in your program later.
Register DS (Data Segment) is usually used to show where the segment where the data is stored in theprogram. Generally the contents of these registers do not need to be changed unless the resident program.
Register ES (Extra Segment), as the name suggests is a bonus registers that do not have a specific task.ES registers areusually used to indicate an address in memory, eg video memory address.
On the 80386 processor segment registers are 16-bit addition, the FS<Extra Segment> and GS<Extra Segment>.
2. Pointer and Index Register.
Registers are included in this group are the registers SP, BP, SI and DI, each of which consists of 16 bits.Registers in this group are generally used as a pointer or a pointer to a location in memory.
Register SP (Stack Pointer) is paired with SS segment register (SS: SP) is used to mununjukkan address of the stack, while the register BP (Base Pointer) register is paired with SS (SS: BP) recorded an address inmemory where data.
Register SI (Source Index) and register DI (Destination Index) is usually used in a string operation with directaccess to the address in memory indicated by the two registers. On the 80386 processor there is an additional 32-bit registers, namely ESP, EBP, ESI and EDI.
3. General Purpose Register.
Registers are included in this group are the registers AX, BX, CX and DX, each of which consists of 16 bits.16-bit registers of this group have a characteristic, which can be separated into two parts where each partconsists of 8 bits.
+ A X + + B X + + C X + + D X +

| AH | AL | | BH | BL | | CH | CL | | DH | DL |
+---- +---- + +---- +---- + +-----+----+ +-----+-----+
Suffix H indicates High while the suffix L indicates Low.
In general the registers in this group can be used for various purposes, however some specific usage of each of these registers are:
Register AX, specifically used in arithmetic operations, especially in the operations division and subtraction.
Register BX, usually used to indicate an offset address of a segment.
Registers CX, used exclusively in the operation of looping where this register determines how many loops that will happen.
Registers DX , used to hold the rest of the division of 16 bits. On the 80386 processor there is an additional 32-bit registers, namely EAX, EBX, ECX and EDX
4. Index Pointer Register
Register IP paired with the CS (CS: IP) indicates the address of the memory where the instruction(command) to be executed next. Register IP is also a 16-bit registers. On the 80386 processor used EIPregister that are 32 bit registers.
5. Flags Register.
This register indicates the condition of a state <yes or no>. Since each state can use 1 bit only, then the appropriate number of bits, Flags register is capable of recording up to 16 state. The flag contained in themicroprocessor 8088 and above are:

If there is overflow in arithmetic operations, bit it will be worth 1
SF <Sign Flag>

CF <Carry Flag>
If there is a reduction borrow or carry on operations in the summation, it would be worth a bit.
