Abstract
A method and apparatus that provides instruction re-alignment using a branch on a falsehood of a qualifying predicate. A complementary predicate related to a qualifying predicate is determined to be available. Instructions are re-aligned using a branch on a falsehood of the qualifying predicate if the complementary predicate is not available. Thus, a complementary predicate does not have to be generated to re-align instructions if no complementary predicate is available for the qualifying predicate.
