ABSTRACT:
A high-performance microprocessor system using instruction that access operands and instructions located relative to the current instruction group rather than located relative to the current instructions, as is the convention, is disclosed herein. The microprocessor system includes a central processing unit, memory, and a bus connecting the central processing unit and memory. An instruction fetching unit, connected to the bus, is provided for fetching instruction groups from the memory for use by the central processing unit and for storage within an instruction register. An instruction supplying unit operates to supply, in succession from the instruction register to the central processing unit, one or more instructions from each of the instruction groups. The system further includes an instruction decoder for configuring the instruction supplying unit to select, from the instruction register, operands associated with instructions from particular instruction groups.
