Explain the characteristics of instruction and execution time...

Answer / Neeraj Singh

Instruction and execution time are two important characteristics of computer instructions. Instruction is the specific command or set of commands that a processor executes to perform a particular task. Execution time, also known as cycle time, is the amount of time it takes for a processor to execute an instruction. The goal in computer design is to minimize the execution time by optimizing the instruction set and hardware design.
