Microprocessor circuit with extended and flexible architecture - provides separation between data transfer and data processing operations

摘要

Data transport is completely separated from operations on the data. This separation enables the available transfer capacity to be used more effectively. The separation gives great freedom of choice in the implementation of function units, allowing `pipelining schemes' to be used throughout. Cycle times can also be cut to a min. i.e. time needed to transfer the data to be worked on.
