ABSTRACT:
A method and system for conditionally carrying out an operation defined in a computer instruction wherein a computer instruction is implemented on so-called packed operands; that is, operands containing a plurality of packed objects in respective lanes. An operation defined in the computer instruction is conditionally carried out in dependence on stored condition values which determine for each lane whether or not the operation is to be executed on objects in that lane.
