  • Data processing system and method for implementing zero overhead loops using a first or second prefix instruction for initiating conditional jump operations
    Patent number: 6687813
    Abstract: A data processing system has a pipelined architecture and looping capability that allows a sequence of instruction execution sets to be repeated N times. The data processing system has an internal memory module data arithmetic logic units, and a program sequencer for fetching instruction fetch sets, dispatching instructions out of a instruction execution set to the data arithmetic logic units, and controlling the execution of nested loops. The instruction execution set is a subset of the instruction fetch set. The instruction execution set that initiates the conditional jump operation has a prefix instruction for initiating the conditional jump operation.
