Abstract

See full text

A tightly-coupled main processor and coprocessor overlap the execution of sequential instructions when apparent sequential operation and precise exception interrupts can be assured. Logic detects all conditions under which these criteria might potentially be violated in the coprocessor before it has finished performing an instruction, and holds off the main processor from executing a subsequent instruction.
