Abstract
A succession of instructions are distributed between a plurality of multistage execution paths in a computer system. Each instruction is given a tag to identify the position of the instruction in the sequence and the execution paths of both that instruction and the preceding instruction. On entering an instruction in one execution path, register values are transferred from registers in a path executing a preceding instruction prior to completion of execution of that preceding instruction.
