ABSTRACT:
A dependency instruction encodes dependency information among a group of instructions. A processor decodes the dependency instruction associated with the group of instructions. The processor can then execute the group of instructions in an order based on the dependency information in the dependency instruction. The dependency information may be encoded in a neutral instruction so processors that do not support dependency instructions can execute a program containing them.
