How can we prevent a central processing unit from wasting cycles while processing multiple instructions? What's most important about this approach? Explain their effect.

Basics

Computer processing is an action or a series of processes that is carried out when a central processing unit (CPU) in a personal computer (PC) receives data.

The central processing unit (CPU) is a kind of electrical "mind" for a computer system, and it operates in accordance with a set of instructions that are provided to it by the programming that is stored on the hard drive and stacked in the random access memory (RAM).
