Abstract
A method for operation of a processor core is provided. First instruction data is consulted to determine whether a second instruction has execution data that matches the first instruction data. The first instruction data is from a first instruction. In response to determining that the second instruction has execution data that matches the first instruction data, prior data is copied into the second instruction. The first instruction depends on the prior data. After receiving an availability indication of the prior data, both the first instruction and the second instruction are woken for execution, without requiring execution of the first instruction before waking of the second instruction. The second instruction is executed by using the prior data as a skip of the first instruction. A computer system and a processor core configured to operate according to the method are also disclosed herein.
