Abstract
The invention relates to a method to increase the visibility of effective address computation in pipelined architectures. In this method, the current effective address delay of each instruction in the pipeline is calculated. The current effective address delay is used to determine if a valid effective address is available for each instruction. If a valid effective address for an instruction is not available, it is computed if possible.
