What is the first step in the instruction execution cycle?
Think about where the CPU looks for its instructions first.
Define the term 'opcode'.
How does the CPU know what to do with an instruction?
What is the role of the Program Counter in instruction execution?
Consider what happens right before an instruction is executed.
True or False: Indirect addressing provides a direct reference to the operand.
Think about how indirect addressing differs from direct addressing.
You are designing a CPU architecture. Explain how you would manage the fetch, decode, and execute phases efficiently, especially in the context of handling multiple simultaneous interrupts.
Consider how task scheduling in operating systems tackles multiple requests.
What are the trade-offs between immediate and indirect addressing modes in CPU designs? Discuss the implications on instruction size and execution speed.
