Abstract
Systems, methods and media for implementing logic in the arithmetic/logic unit of a processor are disclosed. More particularly, hardware is disclosed for computing logical operations with minimal hardware by organizing the execution unit such that the propagate and generate functions required for the adder can be used as a basis to implement the bitwise logical instructions. The result of these functions is computed before execution of the instruction by an execution macro in the arithmetic/logic unit.
