ABSTRACT:
An information processing device contains a branch instruction execution control apparatus including a branch reservation station unit as a stack waiting for a process. The branch reservation station unit generates an entry storing a branch or data required to process the branch if an instruction is decoded, and it is determined that the instruction is a branch instruction or a process is required for a branch. With the configuration, in the information processing device for executing sequentially given instructions, a process of a sequence of instructions containing a branch instruction can be performed at a high speed to process the branch instruction in an order different from an order specified by a program.
