Abstract
A digital computer executes a first instruction set in an interleaved fashion with second and third instruction sets, the latter two of which are executed at the same time. The first, second, and third instruction sets together represent an assignment statement of a high level programming language, such as ALGOL and COBOL, and by executing the first, second, and third instruction sets as recited above, a substantial improvement in the execution time of the corresponding assignment statement is attained. A second embodiment executes the first instruction set in an interleaved fashion with only the second instruction set to also achieve an improvement in execution time of the corresponding assignment statement.
