Abstract
A data processor formed on a LSI chip has an instruction address generator, an instruction cache memory having entries each storing an instruction address and an instruction corresponding to the instruction address, an instruction decoder decoding an instruction from said cache memory corresponding to an instruction address from said instruction address generator, an operand address generator generating an operand address in response to an output signal of said instruction decoder, and an operand cache memory having entries each storing an operand address and operand data corresponding to the operand address in its entry. The data processor executes an instruction that makes entries in both of said instruction cache memory and said operand cache memory ineffective.
