Abstract
A method for speculative execution of instructions, the method includes: decoding a compare instruction; speculatively executing, in a continuous manner, conditional instructions that are conditioned by a condition that is related to a resolution of the compare instruction and are decoded during a speculation window that starts at the decoding of the compare instruction and ends when the compare instruction is resolved; and stalling an execution of a non-conditional instruction that is dependent upon an outcome of at least one of the conditional instructions, until the speculation window ends.
