ABSTRACT:
A method for conditional speed-up of execution of an instruction sequence having synchronization instructions. The method has particular application in a computer system in which compatability with instruction sequences written for the Intel 80386 or earlier processors is desirable. The method discloses replacement of certain WAIT state instruction in an instruction sequence with a null instruction in cases where the WAIT state instruction is followed by a floating point instruction including as an integral part of the instruction a WAIT state.
