    摘要: A microprocessor has a main memory, an instruction execution unit, and instruction queue for prefetching a series of instructions from the main memory, and an instruction cache. The instruction cache prefetches and stores an instruction next to those stored in the instruction queue by use of its address tag as an index when an amount of data fetched in the instruction queue is below a constant value. The fetching of the next instruction into the instruction queue from the instruction cache is achieved at the time to execute the same instruction again.

    摘要: In a data processor, using a format field which specifies the number of operation fields of an instruction code and an order of execution of operations, the number of operations and the order of operation executions are flexibly controlled and the necessity of a null operation is reduced, and decoders operate in parallel each decoding only one operation having a specific function which has a dependency on an operation execution mechanism, so that the operation fields of the instruction code are decoded in parallel by a number of decoders. While the data processor is basically a VLIW type data processor, more types of operations can be specified by the operation fields, and coding efficiency of instructions is improved since the number of operation fields and the order of operation executions are flexibly controlled and the necessity of a null operation is reduced by means of the format field which specifies the number of the operation and the order of the operation executions.

    摘要: An instruction decoding device for a data processor which is capable of predicting a branch address is disclosed. A program counter value calculation device can be used to calculate the branch target address. An address calculation device can be used to calculate an operand address. The address calculation device can calculate the operand address by adding the instruction length of the branch instruction and the program counter value of the branch instruction. In this way the apparatus performs branching processing for the unconditional branch instructions, conditional branch instructions, subroutine branch instructions and loop control instructions at the instruction decoding stage to suppress disturbances in the pipeline processing.

    摘要: In a data processing system, the program counter (PC) values of coprocessor (CP) instructions are stored in a queue of a CP, and the stored PC value is not erased until the CP has completed executing the instruction. The need for a queue is caused by the pipeline in the CP. Three instructions may be executing concurrently and an exception may occur for any one of them. Accordingly, for example, at least 3 PC values must be stored in the queue. Early overwriting is prevented by making the queue 4 words deep. Also, the CP must assert a CPST signal before accepting a new command from the micro processor (MC). Thus, if the pipeline is full the CPST signal will not be asserted and the MP must wait before storing the new PC value in the queue. Instead of the entire PC, only an entry point is transferred to the CP. When only four PC values are saved, the entry point is only two bits and may be transferred along with the command information in a single bus cycle. If there are more than one CP, a program status word (PSW) includes a CPID for identifying which CP is to execute a received CP instruction. The queue and PCID system is only used for the first CP. In the event that an exception occurs, the entry point is transferred back to the MP and the PC of the instruction that took the exception is provided.

    摘要翻译: 在数据处理系统中,协处理器(CP)指令的程序计数器(PC)值被存储在CP的队列中,并且存储的PC值不被擦除,直到CP完成执行指令。 队列的需要是由CP中的管道引起的。 三个指令可能同时执行,并且任何一个可能发生异常。 因此,例如,必须在队列中存储至少3个PC值。 通过使队列4字深入,可以防止早期重写。 此外,CP必须在接收来自微处理器(MC)的新命令之前先断言CPST信号。 因此,如果流水线已满,则将不会断言CPST信号,并且在将新的PC值存储在队列中之前,MP必须等待。 而不是整个PC,只有一个入口点被传送到CP。 当仅保存四个PC值时,入口点只有两个位,并且可以在单个总线周期内与命令信息一起传输。 如果存在多于一个CP,则程序状态字(PSW)包括用于识别哪个CP执行接收到的CP指令的CPID。 队列和PCID系统仅用于第一个CP。 在发生异常的情况下,将入口点传回MP,提供异常指令的PC。
