Abstract

PURPOSE:To process a branch instruction at a high speed by prefetching the branch instruction by decoding an instruction several instructions after a present instruction position. CONSTITUTION:Each time an instruction word is read out of a storage part, an instruction starting position in a new instruction word according to the decoding result of the bit of part of the readout instruction word and the states of a following instruction position flag NEXTIPF9 at the point in time and previously set instruction position flag IPFs5-8 in instruction buffer registers, and instruction flags NSIPs 10-12 in corresponding instruction buffer registers are set. Further, an instruction following or several instructions after the instruction, being fetched, indicated by pointers NSIPs10-12 is prefetched according to values of the pointers NSIPs10-12 and the instruction position flags IPFs5-8 in the instruction buffer registers, and when it is a branch instruction, a branch destination address is further calculated to read an instruction from the branch destination address in advance.
