ABSTRACT A method and apparatus are described for conditional branching within a central processing unit of a digital computer. The central processing unit has a pipelined architecture where the fetch and execute cycles are over- lapped to optimize the efficient execution of instructions. This novel conditional branching method and apparatus optimizes the use of instructions fetched into the pipeline by maximizing the use of the delay slot instruction thereby eliminating the need to interlock the pipeline or otherwise delay execution of instructions.
