Abstract
An integrated circuit may include a mixed instruction multiple data (xIMD) computing system. The xIMD computing system may include a plurality of data processors, each data processor representative of a lane of a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) computing system, wherein the plurality of data processors are configured to use a first dominant lane for instruction execution and to fork a second dominant lane when a data dependency instruction that does not share a taken/not-taken state with the first dominant lane is encountered during execution of a program by the xIMD computing system.
