    摘要: A 32-bit instruction 50 is composed of a 4-bit format field 51, a 4-bit operation field 52, and two 12-bit operation fields 59 and 60. The 4-bit operation field 52 can only include (1) an operation code “cc” that indicates a branch operation which uses a stored value of the implicitly indicated constant register 36 as the branch address, or (2) a constant “const”. The content of the 4-bit operation field 52 is specified by a format code provided in the format field 51.

    摘要: A branch instruction includes a set of branch prediction information 13b and a set of branch history information 13c. The set of branch prediction information 13b is made up of 1 bit which predicts whether a branch will be performed during the next execution of the instruction. The set of branch history information 13c is made up of 2 bits showing a frequency, with which the branch has been taken, is "very high", "high", "low" or "very low". An instruction fetching unit 12 prefetches an instruction from a cache memory 11a in accordance with the set of branch prediction information 13b. After an instruction executing unit 15 completes an execution of the branch instruction, a branch history information generating unit 16 generates a new set of branch history information and a branch prediction information generating unit 17 generates a new set of branch prediction information, in accordance with the execution result and the preceding branch history information 13c. A branch instruction updating unit 18 overwrites the generated set of branch history information and the generated set of branch prediction information on the corresponding branch instruction stored in the main memory 11a.

    摘要: This endoscope apparatus adapted to meter NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) is provided with an endoscope having a channel and an NMR metering probe insertable through the channel. The endoscope has an elongate insertable part having an observing window and illuminating window in the tip part, an observing system for observing an object to be imaged by receiving a light from the object entering through the observing window, an illuminating light output system emitting an illuminating light through the illuminating window and a hollow channel formed within the insertable part and opening in the tip part. Preferably, at least the tip side of the insertable part if formed of a non-ferromagnetic characteristic material. The NMR metering probe has a signal transmitting member insertable through the channel of the endoscope, connected at one end to the NMR metering apparatus and able to transmit high frequency signals and a loop-like antenna part connected to the other end of the signal transmitting member and projected out of the opening of the channel.
