 EXPLAIN All of Headings

1.1.Instruction Fetching

This stage involves fetching the next instruction from memory. The program counter (PC) holds the address of the next instruction to be fetched. The fetched instruction is stored in the instruction register (IR).

1.2 Instruction Decoding

 In this stage, the fetched instruction  (from the   IR) is decoded to determine  the operation to be   performed. This stage identifies the opcode  and  any operands required for the instruction.

 

1.3 Control Signal Generation 

 Control signals are generated based on the decoded instruction. These signals control various components in the CPU, such as ALU operations, memory access, and data movement.

1.4 Sequencing

This stage manages the order in which instructions are executed. It ensures that instructions are executed in the correct sequence and handles the transfer of data between stages.

1.5  Data Movement

Data movement involves transferring data between registers, memory, and other components. It includes operations like loading data from memory to registers or storing data from registers to memory.

1.6 Branching and Jumping

This stage handles conditional and unconditional branches or jumps in the program. It decides whether to execute the next sequential instruction or to jump to a different address based on conditions

1.7 Exception Handling

Exception handling deals with unexpected events or errors, such as divide-by-zero or invalid memory access. The CPU transitions to an exception handler to manage these situations.

1.8  Clock Synchronization.

Clock synchronization ensures that all operations in the CPU are synchronized with the system clock. It maintains the timing and coordination of operations.

        

1.9 Microcode Execution 

In some CPUs, microcode execution involves a layer of low-level instructions that implement higher-level instructions. These microinstructions control the behavior of the CPU's internal components.
