| | Instructions Per Clock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | For users and purchasers of a computer system, Instructions Per Clock is not a particularly useful indication of the performance of their system. | | | The number of instructions executed per clock is not a constant for a given processor; it depends on how the particular software being run interacts with the processor, and indeed the entire machine, particularly the memory hierarchy. | | | When comparing different instruction sets, a simpler instruction set may lead to a higher IPC figure than an implementation of a more complex instruction set using the same chip technology; however, the more complex instruction set may be able to achieve more useful work with fewer instructions. |

| | In most computers, instructions did one computation at a time. | | | Since the earliest computers, sequences of instructions have fetched operands and done computations on them. | | | Instead of the video example needing 70,778,880 instructions per second, it needs only 23,592,960, because red, green, and blue channels are handled by the same instruction. |

| | Most individual instructions are not very sophisticated; they do things like add, subtract, move data from one location to another, or compare two values (the computer needs many instructions to do things that are meaningful to you and me). | | | Instructions can be more sophisticated and complex, but the basic structure is the same; doing things to and in memory. | | | The electronic pulses affect the speed with which program instructions are executed because instructions are executed at predetermined intervals, which are timed by the electronic pulses. |

| | Consequently, with 1-microsecond digits at 3-microsecond digit periods and a delay line of 960-microsecond "length", the initial basic execution rate was about 500 instructions per second, and all instructions, except multiplication, took the same amount of time. | | | These features of simplicity of instruction format and economy in program length, resulting from flexibility and economy of instructions needed to perform a complex function, made CSIRAC notable. | | | This functional flexibility and small number of instruction segments undoubtedly made the machine attractive to users. |
