The figure illustrates that one F pipe instruction and one M pipe instruction can be issued
concurrently but that two M pipe or two F pipe instructions cannot be issued. Table 2 specifies
more completely the instructions within each class.

The symmetric superscalar capability of the RM7000, in combination with its low latency integer
execution units and high-throughput fully pipelined floating-point execution unit, provides
unparalleled price/performance in computational intensive embedded applications.
4.3 Pipeline
The logical length of both the F and M pipelines is five stages with state committing in the register
write, or W, pipe stage. The physical length of the floating-point execution pipeline is actually
seven stages but this is completely transparent to the user.
Figure 4 shows instruction execution within the RM7000 when instructions are issuing
simultaneously down both pipelines. As illustrated in the figure, up to ten instructions can be
executing simultaneously. This figure presents a somewhat simplistic view of the processors
operation however since the out-of-order completion of loads, stores, and long latency floating-
point operations can result in there being even more instructions in process than what is shown.
