A polyimide film of 20 to 125 &mgr;m thick composed of aromatic polyimide prepared from an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid component (composed mainly of 3,4,3&prime;,4&prime;-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid or its derivative) and an aromatic diamine component (composed mainly of p-phenyl-enediamine) and containing a micro-granular filler of metal atom-containing inorganic material, can be so denatured on its surfaces that an amount of the metal atom and a ratio of oxygen/carbon would increase by 0.03 to 1.0 atomic % and 0.01 to 0.20, respectively, on the processed surfaces, upon running in a gaseous mixture of argon and hydrogen between a plurality of activated plasma discharge electrodes arranged in a double line under such condition that the running polyimide film is free from contact with the electrodes.

A process for the preparation of an aromatic polyimide film includes the steps of casting a polyamide acid solution containing an imidization agent on a support in the form of a film, heating the filmy cast solution on the support at a temperature of 80.degree. to 200.degree. C. to obtain a self-supportable film; peeling the self-supportable film from the support; and further heating the film at a temperature of not lower than 300.degree. C. The polyamide acid solution includes a polyamide acid obtained by polymerization reaction of 3,4,3',4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride and p-phenylenediamine in a mixture of a polar organic solvent and a small amount of an imidization agent selected from imidazole, a substituted imidazole, benzimidazole, a substituted benzimidazole, isoquinoline, and a substituted pyridine.

An instruction fetch control method is generally arranged so as to have a plurality of instruction buffers, issue an instruction read request to a memory when a part of the instruction buffers becomes in an empty state and store a fetched instruction in the instruction buffer in an empty state. A flag is provided for specifying another instruction buffer which becomes in an empty state after the instruction stored in the instruction buffer is transmitted to a decoder. The quantity of instructions to be stored in the instruction buffer is made variable in accordance with output of the flag latch, and the fetched instruction is stored in the instruction buffer in an empty state. This arrangement enables a plurality of instructions fetched upon an instruction read request to be stored in the empty instruction buffers, thereby reducing the number of read requests issued.

An aromatic polyimide film useful as a face for a magnetic recording material having a back face-side half stratum thereof containing principal filler fine particles which provide a low friction back face-side surface having a centerline average surface roughness of 2 to 10 m .mu.m, and a front face-side half stratum thereof free from the principal filler particles and optionally containing additional filler fine particles having a size of 0.05 to 0.7 time that of the principal filler particles in a concentration of 0.1 to 0.8 time that of the principal filler particles, which additional filler particles provide a high smoothness front face-side surface having a centerline average surface roughness (Ra) of 0.1 to 0.8 time that of the back face-side surface, is produced from a first aromatic polyamic acid solution containing the principal filler particles and a second aromatic polyamic acid solution free from the principal filler particles and optionally containing the additional filler particles, by forming a film-shaped composite solution stream consisting of a first film-shaped solution stream united with a second film shaped solution stream, solidifying the film-shaped composite solution stream, and heat treating the solidified film to convert the polyamic acid to a corresponding polyimide.
