Appeal No. 1999-1888
Application No. 08/473,504
said instructions from said data prediction address in a data
cache; and placing said data associated with basic block of
instructions into a data buffer." The examiner turns to Kusano
to supply the limitations lacking from Eickemeyer I.
Appellant contends (Brief, page 11) that "Kusano predicts
and prefetches a single data address based upon a previous data
address." Appellant thus concludes that neither reference
discloses a basic block of instructions and fetching data
associated with the plurality of instructions in the basic block.
We find no disclosure in either reference of a block of
instructions. Therefore, we agree with appellant. Furthermore,
the examiner has once again repeated the rejection in lieu of
responding to appellant's argument. Thus, the examiner has not
persuaded us of any error in appellant's argument. Accordingly,
we will not sustain the rejection of claim 26.
