An instruction is a unit of operation in whatever ISA you're writing in. The implementation is irrelevant.
MIPS never made sense. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Vernooij, Kees (ITOP NM) - KLM <kees.verno...@klm.com> Sent: Thursday, March 7, 2019 2:26 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: instruction clock speed What is an instruction? When IBM started putting pages of assemblercode in microcode, which can be called by 1 PC instruction, its definition has lost sense. Like MIPS (million instructions per second) did around the same time.
