Abstract
Supporting even instruction tag ('ITAG') requirements in a multi-slice processor with null internal operations (IOPs) includes: receiving an IOP with an even ITAG requirement; determining that the IOP is to be assigned an odd ITAG; and inserting a null IOP into an instruction lane ahead of the IOP, wherein the null IOP is assigned the odd ITAG, and the IOP is assigned an even ITAG.
