Abstract: Methods and apparatus for dynamic instruction set selection for producing an output parameter based on one or more available input parameters are presented. In an example method, a device selects, from different candidate instruction sets that are each configured to produce a same output parameter, an instruction set that requires one or more input parameters that are each available at the device. In addition, in the example method, the device obtains the output parameter by executing the selected instruction set using the input parameters required by that instruction set. In some examples where more than one candidate instruction sets could be selected based on the available input parameters, the device may select the highest-ranking instruction set for execution.
