  • Patent number: 4594655
    Abstract: Equipping a secondary data flow facility with additional capability, to emulate for certain operations the simultaneous processing of the prerequisite instruction and the dependent instruction, significantly improves simultaneous pipeline processing of inherently sequential instructions (k)-at-a-time, by eliminating delays for calculating prerequisite operands. For example, Instruction A+B=Z1 followed by Instruction Z1+C=Z2 is inherently sequential, with A+B=Z1 the prerequisite instruction and Z1+C=Z2 the dependent instruction. The specially equipped secondary data flow facility does not wait for Z1, the apparent input operand from the prerequisite instruction; it simulates Z1 instead, performing A+B+C=Z2 in parallel with A+B=Z1. All data flow facilities need not be fully equipped for all instructions; the secondary data flow facility may be generally less massive than a primary data flow facility, but is more sophisticated in a critical organ, such as the adder.
