MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -The fetch execute cycle is the basic operation (instruction) cycle of a computer (also known as the fetch decode execute cycle). During the fetch execute cycle, the computer retrieves a program instruction from its memory. It then establishes and carries out the actions that are required for that instruction.

Detailed explanation-2: -The basic operation of a computer is called the ‘fetch-execute’ cycle. The CPU is designed to understand a set of instructions-the instruction set. It fetches the instructions from the main memory and executes them. This is done repeatedly from when the computer is booted up to when it is shut down.

Detailed explanation-3: -The instruction located in the memory address held in the memory address register is retrieved and then stored in the memory buffer register. The data is then passed on to the current instruction register where it can decoded and finally executed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: The fetch execution cycle refers to the execution of instructions by the CPU. This is a multi-step process in which instructions are fetched, decoded, executed, and then stored. The result of this cycle allows an instruction to be executed by the CPU allowing the process cycle to continue.

Detailed explanation-5: -The CPU works by following a process known as ‘fetch, decode and execute’. The CPU fetches an instruction from memory, decodes this instruction and then executes it. The CPU carries out this cycle continuously, millions of times per second.
