ABSTRACT:
A processor (e.g., a co-processor) capable of executing instructions sequentially, comprises at least two functional hardware resources. When two instructions that are consecutive in program order and are executed on two separate functional hardware resources, the execution of the two instructions may be parallelized if the two instructions are within a hardware loop. The processor thus, may implement a multiply and accumulate process in an efficient manner by performing the multiply instructions concurrently with the add instructions (which require fewer cycles to complete than the multiply instructions).
