ABSTRACT:
A processor, having a variable number of stages in a pipeline, splits, during a pipeline process, an instruction fetch stage or a memory access stage during an instruction fetch or a memory access of operand data for an external memory. This enables a simultaneous operation for both inputting instruction data and outputting an address for a fetch of the succeeding instruction data or a simultaneous operation for both inputting operand data and outputting an address for an access of the succeeding operand data.
