Apparatus and methods are disclosed for nullifying one or more registers identified in a target field of a nullification instruction. In some examples of the disclosed technology, an apparatus can include memory and one or more block-based processor cores configured to fetch and execute a plurality of instruction blocks. One of the cores can include a control unit configured, based at least in part on receiving a nullification instruction, to obtain a register identification of at least one of a plurality of registers, based on a target field of the nullification instruction. A write to the at least one register associated with the register identification is nullified. The nullification instruction is in a first instruction block of the plurality of instruction blocks. Based on the nullified write to the at least one register, a subsequent instruction is executed from a second, different instruction block. |
