Let us consider following decomposition of instruction execution into five stages. These are give as follows below.

  1. Fetch Instruction (IF) :
    It reads the next expected instruction into the buffer.

    IR → Mem [PC] ;
    PC → PC + 4 ; 
  2. Instruction Decoding (ID) :
    In this, there are following steps:

    • Instruction Decoding, in which determines opcode and operand specifiers.
    • Calculate Operand, in which calculates effective address of each source operand.
    • Fetch Operands, in which fetch each operand from memory.
    A → Regs [IR6,  10] ;
    B → Regs [IR11, ...,  15] ;
    Immediate → (IR16)16## (IR16, ..., 31) 
  3. Execute Instruction (EX) :
    It performs indicated operation.

    Memory ref:   ALUoutput  →  A + Immediate ;
    Reg-Reg ALU:  ALU  →  A func B ;
    Reg-Imm ALU:  ALUoutput  →  A op Immediate ;
    Branch:       ALUoutput  →  PC + Immediate;  Cond * (A op 0) 
  4. Memory access/branch completion cycle (MEM) :
    It accesses memory.

    Memory ref:  LMD  →  Mem [ALUoutput]  or Mem (ALUoutput)  →  B
    Branch:      if (cond) PC  →  ALUoutput 
  5. Write Operand (WO) :
    It stores the result.

    Reg-Reg ALU:   Regs [R16, ...., 20]  →  ALUoutput ;
    Reg-Imm ALU:   Regs [R11, ..., 15] → ALUoutput ;
    Reg-Reg ALU:   Regs [R11, ...., 15]  →  LMD ;
