instruction set - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

  instruction set
  
     <architecture> The collection of machine language
     instructions that a particular processor understands.
  
     The term is almost synonymous with "instruction set architecture
     " since the instructions are fairly meaningless
     in isolation from the registers etc. that they manipulate.
