Abstract

A buffer memory control system for executing an immediate instruction, including a block fetch control unit for generating a first move-in complete signal indicating that the move-in of the heading subblock from a main memory to the buffer memory is completed. In response to the first move-in complete signal, the fetch and store operation starts without waiting for the completion of the move-in of a full block.
