Abstract
A processing pipeline has at least one front end stage for issuing micro-operations for execution in response to program instructions, and an execute stage for performing data processing in response to the micro-operations. At least one predicate register stores at least one predicate value. In response to a predicated vector instruction for triggering execution of two or more lanes of processing, the at least one front end stage issues at least one micro-operation to control the execute stage to mask an effect of a lane of processing indicated as disabled by a target predicate value. One of the front end stages may perform an early predicate lookup of the target predicate value to vary in dependence on the early predicate lookup, which micro-operations are issued to the execute store for a predicated vector instruction.
