 |  | fetch-execute cycle (foldoc)
 | fetch-execute cycle 
 The sequence of actions that a
 central processing unit performs to execute each {machine
 code} instruction in a program.
 
 At the beginning of each cycle the CPU presents the value of
 the program counter on the address bus.  The CPU then
 fetches the instruction from main memory (possibly via a
 cache and/or a pipeline) via the data bus into the
 instruction register.
 
 From the instruction register, the data forming the
 instruction is decoded and passed to the control unit which
 sends a sequence of control signals to the relevant {function
 units} of the CPU to perform the actions required by the
 instruction such as reading values from registers, passing
 them to the ALU to add them together and writing the result
 back to a register.
 
 The program counter is then incremented to address the next
 instruction and the cycle is repeated.
 
 The fetch-execute cycle was first proposed by {John von
 Neumann}.

 |  | instruction prefetch (foldoc)
 | instruction prefetch prefetch
 
 A technique which attempts to minimise the time
 a processor spends waiting for machine instructions to be
 fetched from memory.  Instructions following the one currently
 being executed are loaded into a prefetch queue when the
 processor's external bus is otherwise idle.  If the
 processor executes a branch instruction or receives an
 interrupt then the queue must be flushed and reloaded from
 the new address.
 
 Instruction prefetch is often combined with pipelining in
 an attempt to keep the pipeline busy.
 
 By 1995 most processors used prefetching, e.g. {Motorola
 680x0}, Intel 80x86.
