ABSTRACT:
A system, circuit, and method are presented for evaluating conditional execution instructions. The system, circuit, and method are adapted to receive an identification instruction comprising the size and the condition of execution of a block of conditional execution instructions. The system, circuit, and method may also be coupled to determine a position and for a conditional execution instruction within a block of conditional execution instructions. The system, circuit, and method can determine whether a conditional field, in which the conditional field comprises a type of conditional execution instruction, meets a condition of execution. By determining the size of the block of conditional execution by an identification instruction and determining the type of conditional execution instruction, the system, circuit and method advantageously decreases the code density of a set of instruction, and advantageously increases the overall performance of a processor.
