[
1913 Webster ]
In a {central processing unit }, a {register } in
which intermediate results are stored . Without an
accumulator , it would be necessary to write the result of each
calculation (addition , multiplication , {shift }, etc .) to {main
memory } and read them back . Access to main memory is slower
than access to the accumulator which usually has direct paths
to and from the {arithmetic and logic unit } (ALU ).
The {canonical } example is summing a list of numbers . The
accumulator is set to zero initially , each number in turn is
added to the value in the accumulator and only when all
numbers have been added is the result written to main memory .
Modern CPUs usually have many registers , all or many of which
can be used as accumulators . For this reason , the term
accumulator " is somewhat archaic . Use of it as a synonym for
register " is a fairly reliable indication that the user has
been around for quite a while and /or that the architecture
under discussion is quite old . The term in full is almost
never used of microprocessor registers , for example , though
symbolic names for arithmetic registers beginning in "A "
derive from historical use of the term "accumulator " (and not ,
actually , from "arithmetic "). Confusingly , though , an "A "
register name prefix may also stand for "address ", as for
example on the {Motorola } {680x0 } family .
2 . A register , memory location or variable being
used for arithmetic or logic (as opposed to addressing or a
loop index ), especially one being used to accumulate a sum or
count of many items . This use is in context of a particular
routine or stretch of code . "The FOOBAZ routine uses A3 as an
accumulator ."
