CPU32 uses instruction restart, which requires that only a small portion of the internal

machine state be saved. After correcting the page fault, the machine state is restored, and

the instruction is refetched and restarted. This process is completely transparent to the

application program.

5.1.3 Loop Mode Instruction Execution

The CPU32 has several features that provide efficient execution of program loops. One of

these features is the DBcc looping primitive instruction. To increase the performance of

the CPU32, a loop mode has been added to the processor. The loop mode is used by any

single-word instruction that does not change the program flow. Loop mode is implemented

in conjunction with the DBcc instruction. Figure 5-2 shows the required form of an

instruction loop for the processor to enter loop mode.

The loop mode is entered when the DBcc instruction is executed and the loop

displacement is –4. Once in loop mode, the processor performs only the data cycles

associated with the instruction and suppresses all instruction fetches. The termination
