The document discusses the different addressing modes of the 8086 processor. It explains that the 8086 accesses code using the CS and IP registers and accesses the stack using the SS and SP registers. There are 6 addressing modes - register, immediate, memory, port, relative, and implied. Memory addressing can be direct, register indirect, based, indexed, based indexed, or string based. The addressing mode determines how the processor accesses operands in memory or registers.
