clock cycle

The advantage is to bring the system to a known state without going through many clock cycles.

All jumps and calls take at least 15 clock cycles.

During the first clock cycle, we need to actually load the instruction.

The article said execution takes on clock cycle to complete.

The number of transfers per clock cycle depends on the technology used.

Each bit to be sent is held on the bus for 8 sample clock cycles.

As a result the interrupt overhead was only 3 clock cycles.

The effect of this signal is actually delayed by one clock cycle.

The patch also uses less clock cycles than the original.

The processor could only communicate with the rest of the system on every other clock cycle.

In some cases, more than one clock cycle is required to perform a predictable action.

If a load takes three clock cycles, then you'll be sitting idle for two of them.

That way it looks like one instruction completes every clock cycle.

Basically it counts every single clock cycle the processor had.

The construction is designed to operate on 4 bits per clock cycle.

I remember (from a long ago course in college) that complex instructions take more clock cycles than simple ones.

Clock cycle efficiency is poor in comparison to most other similar processors.

Data is always transferred in 16-transfer bursts, lasting 2 clock cycles.

Interrupt response is not more than five clock cycles.

This can mean wasted clock cycles, which translates into slower performance.

The 8080 requires more clock cycles to execute a processor instruction.

The amount of instructions that pass per clock cycle is a very complex topic.

Modern processors can often execute at a rate of two instructions per clock cycle.

One can describe an instruction as taking so many 'clock cycles'.

This is the latest time at which a signal can arrive without making the clock cycle longer than desired.
