Review an Instruction: ASIReview an Instruction: ASI

This little instruction comes with two surprises. I’ll tell you about one: It allows us to add two binary fields without a register! We could always add two packed fields without a register, but now we can do that with 2’s complement fields in memory. You’ll have to watch the ASI video to learn the other surprise.

So, have a cup of coffee, and review this humble but interesting little instruction.
