Abstract
An instruction set architecture including instructions for a processor and instructions for a coprocessor may include synchronizing instructions that may be used to begin and end instruction sequences that include coprocessor instructions (coprocessor sequences). If a terminating synchronizing instruction is followed by an initial synchronizing instruction and the pair are detected in the coprocessor concurrently, the coprocessor may suppress execution of the pair of instructions.
