A data processing apparatus, 300, has control circuitry, 24, 26, 28, 320, 330, for detecting whether a first micro-operation to be processed by a first processing lane 4-1 would give the same result as a second micro-operation processed by a second processing lane 4-0. If they would give the same result, then the first micro-operation is prevented from being processed by the first processing lane 4-1 and the result of the second micro operation is output as the result of the first micro-operation. This avoids duplication of processing, to save energy for example. |
