Patent number: 9367314Abstract: A processor is operable to process conditional branches. The processor includes instruction fetch logic to fetch a conditional short forward branch. The conditional short forward branch is to include a conditional branch instruction and a set of one or more instructions that are to sequentially follow the conditional branch instruction in program order. The set of the one or more instructions are between the conditional branch instruction and a forward branch target instruction that is to be indicated by the conditional branch instruction. The processor also includes instruction conversion logic coupled with the instruction fetch logic. The instruction conversion logic is to convert the conditional short forward branch to a computationally equivalent set of one or more predicated instructions. Other processors are also disclosed, as are various methods and systems.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Edward Thomas Grochowski, Martin Guy Dixon, Yazmin A.
