=== Program execution ===
Atmel's AVRs have a two-stage, single-level [[Pipeline (computing)|pipeline]] design., Thismeaning meansthat the next machine instruction is fetched as the current one is executing. Most instructions take just one or two clock cycles, making AVRs relatively fast among [[eight-bit]] microcontrollers.
 
The AVR processors were designed with the efficient execution of [[Compiler|compiled]] [[C (programming language)|C]] code in mind and have several built-in pointers for the task.
