Abstract
The described embodiments provide a processor (e.g., processor) for executing instructions. During execution, the processor starts by transactionally executing instructions from a protected section of program code. The processor then encounters a transactional failure condition while transactionally executing the instructions from the protected section of program code. In response to encountering the transactional failure condition, the processor enters a transactional-scout mode and speculatively executes subsequent instructions in the transactional-scout mode.
