Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with a processor that includes selectively enabled features are described. According to one embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of processing routines embedded within the processor that when executed cause the processor to implement corresponding processor features. The processor includes a processor engine configured to determine whether a processing routine of the plurality of processing routines is enabled based, at least in part, on a corresponding value in a control register. The processing engine is configured to selectively execute the processing routine based, at least in part, on whether the value indicates that the processing routine is enabled.
