  Instruction register - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In simple processors each instruction to be executed is loaded into the Instruction register which holds it while it is decoded, prepared and ultimately executed, which can take several steps.
More complicated processors use a pipeline of instruction registers where each stage of the pipeline does part of the decoding, preparation or execution and then passes it to the next stage for its step.
Decoding the opcode in the instruction register includes determining the instruction, determining where its operands are in memory, retrieving the operands from memory, allocating processor resources to execute the command (in superscalar processors), etc.

 Encyclopedia: Instruction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
An instruction is a form of communicated information that is both command and explanation for how an action, behavior, method, or task is to be begun, completed, conducted, or executed.
The types of instruction allowed are defined and determined within the particular platform's instruction set architecture (ISA), which also determines register sources and destination operands, and perhaps an immediate field.
The size, or "width" of an instruction depends on the architecture of the platform, but it is usually from 4 to 64 (typically, 4, 8, 16, 32, 40, 64) bits wide.

 Instruction Register
The instruction register component is used to control all the components.
It presents the instruction to be executed on the next clock cycle on its output dout and at the next clock cycle, all the components execute the instruction.
This means that the width of an instruction does not impose limitations on the size of the data path from memory.

 Pipelining
When the instruction reaches the WB stage the status is checked (thus ensuring that the status vector of i is checked before that of i+1, since both the instructions take the same amount of stages).
Latency of an instruction is the number of intervening cycles between an instruction that produces a result and an instruction that uses the result (for example for ALU operations (register-register) the latency is 0 since the next instruction can use the value (using register forwarding)).
Now if a new instruction is to be scheduled and it is going to write to the register port at the same time as represented by the shift register, then the instruction is delayed by one stall.

 CmpSci 635 Lecture 5
The one register was a register frame pointer and was used as a base to which all other register offsets were added.
The instruction set and the register set may go through several design iterations -- special registers may be needed to support certain operations such as setting operational modes, and these in turn may require changes to the fields in the register set.
Instruction types are a particular source of decoding complexity, as the type field must first be decoded before the other fields, which slows the decoding slightly.

An RR instruction is laid out as follows 1) first 8 bits, the opcode 2) next 4 bits, register one 3) last 4 bits, second register The opcode tells the CPU which instruction is being executed, whether this is an AR, a SR, or somethng else.
Thus, for example, the instruction AR 3,7 would be encoded as 1A37 The 1A comes from the opcode for AR, 1A.
The other type of instruction is the register to memory instruction.
