The 8087 coprocessor has several key registers that facilitate its operations, primarily focused on floating-point arithmetic. These include the Floating-Point Stack (ST(0) to ST(7)), which holds up to eight floating-point numbers, and the Control Register (C0), which manages the rounding mode and precision settings. Additionally, it has the Status Word (SW) that provides information about the state of the coprocessor and any exceptions encountered, and the Instruction Pointer (IP) that points to the next instruction to be executed. Other registers include the Data Segment (DS) for data access and the Temporary Register (TOS) for intermediate calculations.
