ABSTRACT:
Embodiments involve an embedded processing element that fetches at least two possible next instructions (control words) in parallel in one cycle, and executes one of them during the following cycle based on the result of a conditional branch test. Embodiments reduce or avoid branch penalties (zero penalty branches).
