A parallel computation processor being capable of high-speed loop operation. When instruction decoders decode the VLOOP instruction, which triggers loop operation, an instruction buffer starts storing normal instructions. The instruction buffer dispatches a VLIW instruction composed of n pieces of normal instructions to execution units each time n pieces of instructions are stored therein. The execution units concurrently execute the instructions. After all instructions comprised in a loop have been stored in the buffer and once dispatched as VLIW instructions to be executed, the loop is executed repeatedly.
