Modules are system blocks.
ALU is the Arithmetic Logic Unit
Backplane bus connects all three departments, processor, I/O devices, and memory.
Calculate the CPU time using (Instructions over program) x (average cycles over instructions) x (seconds over cycle).

During the JUMP command, current value is replaced with an X. Move forward to the next instruction.
Interrupt latency are time sets between the generation of an interruption and the routine process.
