Spanish term

ciclo de ejecución

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Software video games programming
Aunque el componente gráfico representa gran parte de la
complejidad computacional de los videojuegos, no es el único. En cada
ciclo de ejecución, el videojuego ha de tener en cuenta la evolución
del mundo en el que se desarrolla el mismo. Dicha evolución dependerá
del estado de dicho mundo en un momento determinado y de cómo las
distintas entidades dinámicas interactúan con él. Obviamente, recrear
el mundo real con un nivel de exactitud elevado no resulta manejable
ni práctico, por lo que normalmente dicho mundo se aproxima y se
simplifica, utilizando modelos matemáticos para tratar con su
complejidad. En este contexto, destaca por ejemplo la simulación
física de los propios elementos que forman parte del mundo.

from a programming manual. Does running/execution cycle exist? I´m not sure about this term.

run cycle /execution cycle

Execution cycle is more formal: see link below.
"An execution cycle is also known as an E-cycle or E-time. This is the time it takes for a CPU in a computer to execute an instruction and store the result..."
Peer comment(s):

agree Charles Davis : "Run cycle" sounds familiar even to this non-geek.

I have one client who prefers "execute", depending on what action is being taken...

instruction execution cycle- Pipelining

Once a program is in memory it has to be executed. To do this, each instruction must be looked at, decoded and acted upon in turn until the program is completed. This is achieved by the use of what is termed the 'instruction execution cycle', which is the cycle by which each instruction in turn is processed. However, to ensure that the execution proceeds smoothly, it is is also necessary to synchronise the activites of the processor.
Pipelining
Up until this point in the tutorial we have assumed that the processor is only able to process one instruction at a time. All examples have shown an instruction having to be executed in full before the next one can be started on. However, this is not how modern CPUs work. Pipelining is the name given to the process by which the processor can be working on more than one instruction at once
