Abstract
An apparatus for computing, comprising a processing circuitry configured for computing an outcome of executing a set of computer instructions comprising a group of data variables, by: identifying an initial state of the processing circuitry; executing a set of anticipated computer instructions produced based on the set of computer instructions and a likely data value, where the likely data value is a value of one the group of data variables anticipated while executing the set of computer instructions; and when identifying, while executing the set of anticipated computer instructions, a failed prediction where the data variable is not equal to the likely data value: restoring the initial state of the processing circuitry; and executing a set of alternative computer instructions, produced based on the set of computer instructions and the at least one likely data value.
