A PROCESSOR EXPLOITING TRIVIAL ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS

摘要

The present application relates to the field of processors and in particular to the carrying out of arithmetic operations. Many of the computations performed by processors consist of a large number of simple operations. As a result, a multiplication operation may take a significant number of clock cycles to complete. The present application provides a processor having a trivial operand register, which is used in the carrying out of arithmetic or storage operations for data values stored in a data store.
