The described embodiments include a processor that handles faults. The processor first receives a first input vector, a control vector, and a predicate vector, each vector comprising a plurality of elements. For each element in the first input vector for which a corresponding element in the control vector and the predicate vector are active, the processor then performs a read operation using an address from the element of the first input vector. When a fault condition is encountered while performing the read operation, the processor determines if the element is a first element where a corresponding element of the control vector is active. If so, the processor handles/processes the fault. Otherwise, the processor masks the fault for the element. |
