The fetch decode execute cycle
Across
- 2. Where the currently running software will be stored
- 5. The stage where instructions are carried out
- 6. The very last step of the 'fetch' part of the cycle is to ......... the program counter by one.
- 7. What carries the instruction from main memory to the MDR? (4,3)
- 9. The place that the program counter value is copied into once the cycle begins
Down
- 1. The part of the CPU that checks instructions for errors (7,4)
- 3. The only one of the three parts of the cycle that does not take place entirely within the CPU
- 4. The stage where instructions are checked and validated.
- 8. The register responsible for carrying out instructions.
