Abstract
A first-in-first-out queue is used to manage instruction sequence execution from an instruction cache in a computer processor. Fields are provided in the queue element structure for not only referencing the correct instruction cache line but also for specifying cache line subsequences and the location of branch instructions so as to cause subsequent execution from other cache lines. The structure is particularly supportive of instruction loops and provides significant performance improvement through the elimination of unnecessary cache line writeovers.
