    摘要: In order to overcome the problem that conditionally executed instructions are executed as no-operation instructions if their condition is not fulfilled, leading to poor utilization efficiency of the hardware and lowering the effective performance, the processor decodes a number of instructions that is greater than the number of provided computing units and judges their execution conditions with an instruction issue control portion before the execution stage, Instructions for which the condition is false are invalidated, and subsequent valid instructions are assigned so that the computing units (hardware) is used efficiently. A compiler performs scheduling such that the number of instructions whose execution condition is true does not exceed the upper limit of the degree of parallelism of the hardware. The number of instructions arranged in parallel at each cycle may exceed the degree of parallelism of the hardware.

    摘要: A compiler device includes a conditional-executable-instruction generation unit and a branch instruction insertion unit. The conditional-executable-instruction generation unit generates a conditional executable instruction that is executed when a condition that the conditional executable instruction refers to is satisfied. In the case where there is a section containing a non-executive condition under which no instruction is executed in one cycle or a plurality of cycles in series, the branch instruction insertion unit inserts a conditional branch instruction that refers to the non-executive condition and instructs to branch to a cycle immediately after a last cycle of the section, to after an instruction of a cycle immediately before a start of the section. Thus, a compiler device employing conditional executable instructions is provided that is capable of generating an assembler code that does not degrade the performance when the instructions are executed, even if a source program includes a branch instruction that causes a then part and an else part to be executed through unbalanced numbers of cycles, respectively.
