:
multiciclo
- The multicycle process allows the system to manage multiple tasks efficiently by repeating operations several times.
- multicycle stall
- multicycle load
Examples
-
Multicycle loads are handled as a series of single-cycle loads using both execution units.

Thus, any given physical array is busy only in alternate cycles for multicycle operations.
Academic text (1997) -
This register provides sufficient instruction buffering and pathways to allow one unit to continue while the other unit processes a multicycle operation.
Academic text (1994) -
The LSCBX (load string compare byte) instruction works like a multicycle load as described above, with one enhancement.
Academic text (1994) -
These include branch delays, data cache misses, floating-point interactions, TLB reloads, and the timing of multicycle instructions.
Academic text (1994) -
The very-high-frequency G5 turbo (and G6) application operates the interface in multicycle mode, in which the clock used by the memory card is offset from that used by the system controller by a quarter cycle to relieve internal paths on the card.
Academic text (1999) -
In our experiment, we observed how the multicycle approach improved the accuracy of the measurements.

Etymology
Multicycle comes from the parts multi- 'many' and cycle 'turn' or 'circle', like a washing machine that runs several cycles. So a multicycle is a process or program made of more than one full cycle or repetition.
