The Storage-to-Storage instructions
have both their operands in the main store.
which perform an operation on a register operand and an operand which is located in the main store, generally leaving the result in the register, expect in the case of store operation when it is also written into the specified storage location.
which perform indicated operations on two fast registers of the machine and have the result in one of the registers
all of the above

Memory to Memory Instructions was popular in the 60s and 70s with PDP-8 and PDP-11 ISA. The most recent one I know is VAX-11 ISA that uses their instructions.

They are slow but operate directly on the physical memory, therefore, are simpler to understand.

For reference, you can look up the Instruction Manual for DEC PDP-11 or DEC VAX-11/780.

Please tell me about its concept of storage to storage.

Agree with the answer Have both their operands in the main store.

Main store refers to main mamory. So both the operands are in main memory.

In CPU classification we have Stack CPU. In stack CPU both the operands are present in the stack memory and after ALU operation are further kept the output in the stack memory. So it use storage to storage instruction.

For example:

I1: PUSH B.
I2: PUSH X.
I3: ADD.
I4: POP C.

Output is C = B+X.

There are several instruction types in memory to memory instruction type both operand is in memory and result is also available in memory.

I guess there are different kinds of instruction format this storage to storage type.

What is meant by main store?
