ABSTRACT:
A next line prediction mechanism for predicting a next instruction index to an instruction cache of a computer pipeline, has a latency equal to the cycle time of the instruction cache to maximize the instruction bandwidth out of the instruction cache. The instruction cache outputs a block of instructions with each fetch initiated by a next instruction index provided by the line prediction mechanism. The instructions of the block are processed in parallel for instruction decode and branch prediction to maintain a high rate of instruction flow through the pipeline.
