A control information holding unitholds items of control information which correspond respectively to the predicate registers. An operating unitis provided for each one of the predicate registers and receives items of control information Land Land items of state information P, P. Each operating unit is operable to perform a selected state determining operation in which the state of its own predicate register is determined in dependence upon the received items.

The state determining operations can be used to bring about state changes required in prologue, kernel and epilogue stages of a software-pipelined loop.
