LOOP CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Loop control systems and methods are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a hardware loop control logic circuit includes a detection unit to detect an end of loop indicator of a program loop. The hardware loop control logic circuit also includes a decrement unit to decrement a loop count and to decrement a predicate trigger counter. The hardware loop control logic circuit further includes a comparison unit to compare the predicate trigger counter to a reference to determine when to set a predicate value.
