Abstract
A processing system comprising a first means for generating first signals indicating when the next instruction can begin processing where eight or less bytes are processed by the MOVE, PACK or UNPACK instruction, a second means for generating second signals if an overlap condition exists for the MOVE, PACK or UNPACK instruction being processed, and where the first means generates the first signals prior to the second means generating the second signals and independent of whether the second means generates the second signals.
