halt and catch fire
(foldoc) | Halt and Catch Fire
(HCF) Any of several undocumented and
semi-mythical machine instructions with destructive
side-effects, supposedly included for test purposes on several
well-known architectures going as far back as the IBM 360.
The Motorola 6800 microprocessor was the first for which an
HCF opcode became widely known. This instruction caused the
processor to read every memory location sequentially until reset.
