Abstract

See full text

A pipelined, RISC-type processor operated in parallel mode and its associated processing methods for separately handling instructions from multiple program instruction sets. The pipelined processor includes an instruction fetch unit, an instruction decode unit and n execution units. Each execution unit operates at substantially the same process cycle time, while the speed of operation of the instruction fetch unit and instruction decode unit is at least n times the cycle time of the execution units such that each phase of the pipeline separately processes n instructions substantially within one machine cycle. Timing and control circuitry is coupled to each of the principle elemental units for controlling the timing and sequence of operations on instructions.
