ABSTRACT:
A system and method for improving the efficiency of an object-level instruction stream in a computer processor. Translation logic for generating translated instructions from an object-level instruction stream in a RISC-architected computer processor, and an execution unit which executes the translated instructions, are integrated into the processor. The translation logic combines the functions of a plurality of the object-level instructions into a single translated instruction which can be dispatched to a single execution unit as compared with the untranslated instructions, which would otherwise be serially dispatched to separate execution units. Processor throughput is thereby increased since the number of instructions which can be dispatched per cycle is extended.
