This presentation discusses register organization and the instruction cycle in a central processing unit. It describes the main types of registers in a CPU, including general purpose, address, status, and memory registers. It then explains the four main stages of an instruction cycle: 1) fetching the instruction from memory, 2) decoding the instruction, 3) reading the effective address, and 4) executing the instruction. It provides details on how the memory address register, memory data register, program counter, and instruction register are involved in transferring instructions from memory to the CPU for execution.

- 3. REGISTER ORGANIZATON A register is a very small amount of very fast memory that is built into the CPU (central processing unit) in order to speed up its operations by providing quick access to commonly used values. Registers are normally measured by the number of bits they can hold, for example, an 8-bit register or a 32-bit register.
- 4. TYPES OF REGISTERS: User-accessible registers Control/Status Register User-visible Registers General purpose Register Address register Status register Memory buffer register Memory data register Memory address register
- 5. INSTRUCTION CYCLE: An instruction cycle' (also called fetch-and-execute cycle, fetch-decode-execute cycle, and FDX) is the time period during which a computer processes a machine language instruction from its memory or the sequence of actions that the central processing unit (CPU) performs to execute each machine code instruction in a program.
- 6. The name fetch-and-execute cycle is commonly used. The instruction must be fetched from main memory, and then executed by the CPU. This is fundamentally how a computer operates, with its CPU reading and executing a series of instructions written in its machine language. From this arise all functions of a computer familiar from the user's end. There are typically four stages of an instruction cycle that the CPU carries out: 1) Fetching the Instruction. 2) Decode the Instruction. 3) “Read the effective address”. 4) Execute the Instruction.
- 7. The Cycle is Then repeated Again The MAR (Memory Address Register) holds the address of the location to or from which data are to be transferred. As can be seen from the figure above, the connection of the MAR to the main memory is one-way or unidirectional. The MDR (Memory Data Register) contains the data to be written or read out of the addressed location.
- 9. OPERATING STEPS: 1) PC is set to point to the first instruction of the program (the operating system loads the memory address of the first instruction). 2) The contents of the PC are transferred to the MAR (which is automatically transmitted to the MM) and a Read signal is sent to the MM (Main Memory). 3) The addressed word is read out of MM and loaded into the MDR. 4) The contents of MDR are transferred to the IR. The instruction is ready to be decoded and executed. 5) During execution, the contents of the PC are incremented or updated to point to the next instruction. Example: Enumerate the different steps needed to execute the machine instruction
