Answer 1

Answer)

1) RISC

RISC is otherwise known as the reduced instruction set computer which is defined to be a kind of computer instruction set which can help in displaying the computer's microprocessor for making smaller cycle per instruction (CPI) than that of a complex instruction set computer. This contains a smaller set of general and simple instruction which is much larger than the set of complex as well as specialized version.

2) MOVE

When there is a need for a movement of the data among the register, MOVE instruction is to be used which is considered as an instruction that is specified. This has been executed when the first operand would be equivalent to zero.

3) Wait states

This is considered as the delay of the computer processor which happens while accessing the external memory or for the other devices which are responding slow,

4) Word

This is defined to be the natural unit of the data that can be used for any of the design of the processor where the word size is called the number of bits processed by that of the computer's CPU completely.

5) Program status word

This is otherwise called as the PSW which is defined to be the collection of the data and has 8 byte long, this can be well maintained with regards to the OS which as a result keeps a track of the system's current behavior.
