This document discusses the instruction cycle and types of instructions in a basic computer system. It includes a flow chart showing the stages of the instruction cycle from fetching the instruction code to executing different instruction types. Register reference instructions are identified when the opcode field decodes to a register reference. These instructions perform operations on the accumulator register and condition codes like addition, logical shifts, conditional jumps. Memory reference and input/output instructions are also discussed along with determining the instruction type from the opcode fields.
