Abstract

See full text

In an approach to reducing delays resulting from resolution of conditional branch instructions, such instructions are pre-executed in a coprocessor which precedes a pipeline processor and prepared an instruction stream for input to the pipeline processor. Because of this pre-execution, the input instruction stream has fewer conditional branches for the pipeline processor to resolve. Also, the coprocessor may handle address generation interlock situations which also cause execution delays in the pipeline processor.
