At its core, the operation of every computer is governed by process known as the fetch–decode–execute cycle, sometimes simply called the instruction cycle. Regardless of the complexity of modern ...

The fetch-decode-execute cycle is followed by a processor to process an instruction. The cycle consists of several stages. Depending on the type of instruction, additional steps may be taken: If the ...

The registers and key elements of the Von Neumann architecture all play a part in how an instruction is processed in the fetch-decode-execute cycle.
