31. Instead, the programmer uses instructions such as return from subroutine, jump, or branch to modify the program counter . 32. With a load / store machine, the program counter is sufficient to describe the state of the machine. 33. This technique allowed multiple program counters to each associate with one of 32 possible sequences of program code. 34. If the value of the integer is negative, then program counter is decremented if the branch is taken. 35. The processor saved the program counter ( PC ) and PSW, and loaded new values from the specified vector. 36. First, the program sets aside a special register that it calls " the program counter " ( PC ). 37. One of them generalizes the program counter concept, which is central to the von Neumann architecture to multi-core hardware. 38. But some proponents of affirmative-action programs counter that the state has a long way to go to achieving equality. 39. If a program is stopped randomly, the program counter ( the performance analyzers, achieve this more accurately and consistently. 40. The branch unit also included a number of " private " registers for its own use, including the program counter .
