Abstract
A computer system processes instructions including an instruction code, source type, source address, destination type, and destination address. The source and destination type may indicate a memory device in which case data is read from the memory device at the source address and written to the destination address. One or both of the source type and destination type may include a transfer descriptor flag, in which case a transfer descriptor identified by the source or destination address is executed. A transfer descriptor referenced by a source address may be executed to obtain an intermediate result that is used for performing the operation indicated by the instruction code. The transfer descriptor referenced by a destination address may be executed to determine a location at which the result of the operation will be stored.
