A CPU has two main sections: the data section (data path) and the control section. The data path consists of registers, ALU, and interconnection buses that carry out the actual data processing. Data paths are classified into three types based on how instructions are executed − Single Cycle, Multiple Cycle, and Pipeline. Single Cycle Data Path In a single cycle data path, each instruction completes in exactly one clock cycle. The clock cycle must be long enough to accommodate the slowest instruction, which wastes time for simpler instructions. Multiple Cycle Data Path In a multiple cycle ...
