7.6 BUS SYNCHRONIZATION
MOTOROLA
The MC68030 overlaps instruction execution; that is, during bus activity for
tivity, the NOP instruction can be used. The NOP instruction forces instruction
An example of the use of the NOP instruction for this purpose is the case of

Due to the independent operation of the on-chip caches relative to the op-
eration of the bus controller, many subsequent instructions can be executed,
resulting in seemingly nonsequential instruction execution. When this is not
desired and the system depends on sequential execution following bus ac-
