ABSTRACT:
A method of executing instructions in a computer system on operands containing a plurality of packed objects in respective lanes of the operand is described. Each instruction defines an operation and contains a condition setting indicator settable independently of the operation. The status of the condition setting indicator determines whether or not multibit condition codes are set. When they are to be set, they are set depending on the results for carrying out the operation for each lane.
