The instruction control pipeline is specially designed for the instruction control module in the general-purpose EPIC microprocessor. The instruction control pipeline is used to carry the common or global information shared by all pipelines, and it employs the method of mutual locking with the computing pipelines. This paper proposes the instruction control pipeline used in the General-purpose EPIC microprocessor, and describes it's design and implementation in detail. The practical application shows that the instruction pipeline can decrease the designing complexity of the EPIC microprocessor effectively.
