What is the first phase of the instruction execution?
Consider what happens before an instruction can be executed.
True or False: An interrupt allows the CPU to execute instructions continuously without interruption.
Think about how interactions like mouse movements are managed.
Consider a system where the CPU is executing a program that involves continuous mouse movements as input. Explain the role of interrupts and how they would influence instruction execution.
Consider how real-time data changing would require CPU attention.
Analyze the implications of choosing between immediate and indirect addressing in a complex program with many data inputs. What should the programmer take into account?
