ABSTRACT:
In the out-of-order process of an instruction, the address mode information of a fetched branch instruction is automatically transferred from an instruction fetch pipeline to an instruction execution pipeline. If the branch instruction is accompanied by an address mode change, the address mode after change designated by the branch instruction is adopted as the address mode of a branch destination. If the branch instruction is not accompanied by an address mode change, the transferred address mode information is adopted as the address mode of the branch destination.
