Abstract
A system and method for controlling post-silicon configurable instruction behavior are provided. For example, the method includes receiving data related to a compute circuit. The method also includes detecting a data pattern in the data. The method further includes determining that the data pattern is a special case that the compute circuit may handle improperly. The method also includes selecting a value from a post-silicon configurable data set based on the detected data. Further, the method includes changing a behavior of the compute circuit to produce a different output result based on the value selected from the post-silicon configurable data set.
