Abstract
An instruction fusion system in which instructions are tagged with extra bits to specify the conditions by which the instructions can be fused is provided. A computing device receives a first instruction to be executed at a processor. The computing device receives a first fusion tag that corresponds to the first instruction, the first fusion tag specifying a condition for fusing the first instruction with another instruction. The computing device determines whether the first instruction is allowed to fuse with a second instruction based on the first fusion tag. When the first instruction is allowed to fuse with the second instruction, the computing device generates a fused instruction based on the first instruction and the second instruction. The computing device executes the fused instruction at the processor.
