ABSTRACT:
An electronic computer according to this invention is capable of executing a plurality of instructions simultaneously. It is characterized by comprising a flag adding section for judging whether or not each of a plurality of instruction is either a delayed branch instruction or a squash branch instruction, and based on the results, adding a flag indicating an abort condition to each instruction, and a command execute abort section for aborting execution of each instruction on the basis of whether or not the flag added to each instruction to indicate the abort condition and each branch instruction hold true.
