A computer processing system is provided. The computer processing system includes a processor configured to execute a record form instruction cracked into two internal instructions. A first one of the two internal instructions executes out-of-order to compute a target register and a second one of the two internal instructions executes in-order to compute a condition register (CR) to improve a processing speed of the record form instruction.

Low latency execution of floating-point record form instructions

A computer processing system is provided. The computer processing system includes a processor configured to crack a record form FP instruction into two internal instructions. A first one of the two internal instructions executes out-of-order to compute a target FP register and a second one of the two internal instructions executes in-order to compute a condition register (CR) to improve a processing speed of the record form FP instruction.

A computer processing system is provided. The computer processing system includes a processor configured to crack a Move-To-FPSCR instruction into two internal instructions. A first one of the two internal instructions executes out-of-order to update a control field and a second one of the two internal instructions executes in-order to compute a trap decision.
