Abstract
Abstract A data processing system 10 includes data processing circuitry 11 having circuitry (21, 23 and 25) for producing a set of instructions which include respective instruction portions for indicating whether the respective instructions can be executed simultaneously with another of the instructions. Program execution circuitry (29) receives the set of instructions and is selectively responsive to the instructive portions for executing simultaneously a plurality of the instructions indicated by the instruction portions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A data processing system, comprising: data processing circuitry having circuitry for
producing a set of instructions which include
respective instruction portions for indicating
whether the respective instructions can be executed
simultaneously with another of the instructions; and said data processing circuitry including
program execution circuitry connected to said
producing circuitry for receiving the set of
instructions and selectively responsive to said
instruction portions for executing simultaneously a
plurality of said instructions indicated by said
instruction portions.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
55 words
A method of processing program instructions in
a data processing system, comprising the steps of: providing a set of instructions with respective
instruction portions for indicating whether the
respective instructions can be executed
simultaneously with another of the instructions; and determining from said instruction portions
whether a plurality of said instructions can be
executed simultaneously.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
65 words
A method of compiling a program for execution
by a data processing system, comprising the steps
of: determining whether a first program instruction
can be executed simultaneously with a second program
instruction that immediately sequentially follows
the first program instruction in program; and providing the first instruction with an
instruction portion that indicates whether the first
instruction can be executed simultaneously with the
second instruction.
