Abstract
An interrupt processor is disclosed for an instruction pipelined digital processor, which includes an instruction classification system with a logic class decoder, a multistage, pipelined, interruptible-sequence detector, a multistage variable-return-address generator, and an active instruction completion, suppression, and termination control, to enable interrupting a sequence of instructions which execute out-of-order in the pipelined and digital processor, and to enable allowing a subsequent return to the interrupted program to resume processing of that program without error.
