Across

1. The process of retrieving a program instruction from memory so that it can be executed by the CPU.

2. A command or operation given to the CPU to perform a specific task.

3. The process of carrying out the operation specified by an instruction using the data from registers and memory.

4. A sequence of steps that the CPU goes through to execute an instruction.

5. Information regarding the system's output which aids in refining the input or the process for better results.

6. Actions or operations are carried out on the input data to convert it into output.

7. Capable of acting independently or self-governing.

8. a small amount of storage in the central processing unit (CPU) that is used to store data or instructions temporarily during program execution

9. A communication pathway that connects the various components within a computer system, allowing data and control signals to be transferred between them.

10. The primary component of a computer that performs most of the processing inside the computer, including performing arithmetic, logical, control, and input/output operations.

11. An algorithm designed to take advantage of parallel processing.

12. The outcome or result that is generated by a system or process once it has completed processing the input data.

Down

13. Independent sequences of instructions that can be scheduled and executed by a processor.

14. The second step of the Fetch-Decode-Execute Cycle, where the computer interprets the fetched instruction.

15. A bus in a computer architecture that is used by the CPU to communicate with other hardware components and control their operations.

16. A simplified portrayal or abstraction of a real-world system, grasping its essential entities and their interconnections.

17. a register that holds the address of a memory location currently being accessed by the CPU
