ABSTRACT:
A parallel computer having a boosting function in which an instruction belonging to a later basic block is moved to a precedent basic block in an instruction group, the moved basic block being a branch instruction. The moved instruction and an instruction in the precedent basic block are arranged in parallel in the order of an instruction code. Therefore, the number of boosted instructions which can be executed in parallel is increased and the degree of parallelization of instruction is increased so that the function of the computer is improved.
