Abstract
A pipelined computer which executes high level language instructions is disclosed. The pipelined computer includes a memory for storing the high level language instructions therein. A plurality of microprogrammed digital computers are coupled in parallel to the memory, and are also intercoupled via an interlocking bus. The microprogrammed computers, in conjunction with the interlocking bus, form a pipeline for executing the high level language instructions. Each of the computers is a separately microprogrammable stage of the pipeline.
