A data processor which executes instructions described in first and second instruction formats. The first instruction format defines a register-addressing field of a predetermined size, while the second instruction format defines a register-addressing field of a size larger than that of the register-addressing field defined by the first instruction format. The data processor includes: instruction-type identifier, responsive to an instruction, for identifying the received instruction as being described in the first or second instruction format by the instruction itself; a first register file including a plurality of registers; and a second register file also including a plurality of registers, the number of the registers included in the second register file being larger than that of the registers included in the first register file.

A data processor according to the present invention executes instructions described in first and second instruction formats. The first instruction format defines a register-addressing field of a predetermined size, while the second instruction format defines a register-addressing field of a size larger than that of the register-addressing field defined by the first instruction format. The data processor includes: instruction-type identifier, responsive to an instruction, for identifying the received instruction as being described in the first or second instruction format by the instruction itself; a first register file including a plurality of registers; and a second register file also including a plurality of registers, the number of the registers included in the second register file being larger than that of the registers included in the first register file. If the instruction-type identifier has identified the received instruction as being described in the first instruction format, the data processor executes the instruction using data held in the first register file. On the other hand, if the instruction-type identifier has identified the received instruction as being described in the second instruction format, the data processor executes the instruction using data held in the second register file.
摘要:
A photolithography step is carried out for exposing/etching a resist film in an etching step. Thereafter a superposition inspection step employing a superposed layer superposition mark and a resist film superposition mark is carried out with a superposition inspection apparatus. In this step, an applied mask confirmation step is simultaneously carried out with the superposition inspection apparatus. Thus, it is possible to provide a method of fabricating a semiconductor device including a superposition inspection step, capable of efficiently confirming an applied mask and improving the fabrication yield for the semiconductor device.

摘要:
Along with an arithmetic processing unit and an arithmetic execution unit, another arithmetic processing unit is coupled in parallel to an instruction issue unit. Disposed within one of the arithmetic processing units are an address generation unit, an instruction buffer, an instruction decoder, an arithmetic execution unit, a data memory, and a flag register. The instruction decoder decodes an instruction read from the instruction buffer. If the decoded instruction is an iteration start instruction, the instruction decoder extracts a number of times an iterative process is to be executed that is included in the instruction for forwarding to the address generation unit. The address generation unit exerts control as to the execution and termination of iterative processes.
