Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing power consumption by an execution pipeline are provided. In one example, a method includes stalling an operation from being executed in the execution pipeline based on inputs to the operation being unavailable in a register file and disabling access to read the register file in favor of controlling a bypass network based on the consumer characteristics of the operation and producer characteristics of other operations being executed in the execution pipeline to forward data produced at an execution stage in the execution pipeline to be used as one or more resources of the operation.
