SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES FOR IMPROVING PERFORMANCE OF STATUS DEPENDENT COMPUTATIONS

摘要

Embodiments for systems, methods, and apparatuses for improving performance of status dependent computations are detailed. In an embodiment, an hardware apparatus comprises decoder hardware to decode an instruction, operand retrieval hardware to retrieve data from at least one source operand associated with the instruction decoded by the decoder hardware, and execution hardware to execute the decoded instruction to generate a result including at least one status bit and to cause the result and at least one status bit to be stored in a single destination physical storage location, wherein the at least one status bit and result are accessible through a read of the single register.
