Abstract
A computer processor is provided with a plurality of functional units that performs operations specified by the at least one instruction over the multiple machine cycles, wherein the operations produce result operands. The processor also includes circuitry that generates result tags dynamically according to the number of operations that produce result operands in a given machine cycle. A bypass network is configured to provide data paths for transfer of operand data between the plurality of functional units according to the result tags.
