FIELD: computer engineering, in particular, data processing using multiple instruction sets. SUBSTANCE: when command words of program of second instruction set are passed through instruction pipe, they are mapped into command words of program of first instruction set. Second instruction set is designed as subset of first instruction set. EFFECT: increased efficiency of one-to-one mapping and elimination of additional decoder of commands of second instruction set. 15 cl, 9 dwg
