The computer system further includes an execution stage configured to execute the at least one instruction to generate a finish report and to determine the at least one instruction is one of an exception-free instruction or an exception instruction. In response to determining the exception-free instruction, a first finish report associated with the exception-free instruction is output to a completion stage. In response to determining the exception instruction, a second finish report associated with the exception instruction is output to an exception unit so as to halt output of the second finish report to the completion stage.
