I'm trying to calculate the no. of cycles needed to excute the instructions of a proceesor given in Douglas L perry's book, the instruction set format is:

opcode(5-bit)unused(5-bits)src(3-bits)dest(3-bits)

i.e. an instruction word of 16-bits
Now for airthmatic instructions I'm no sure to specify what?
whether address of register would be specified here or something else, kindly explain
note tht there are eight registers in all, thx.
 

The details that you have provided has no significance for calculation of cycles needed for execution of one instruction. It depends on the architecture of processor. i.e. is it pipelined or not ? if yes then how deep?

Yes In the ISA(Instruction Set Architecture) The src and dest specifies the address of registers...
