Abstract
In one embodiment, a programmable processor is adapted to conditionally move data between a pointer register and a data register in response to a single machine instruction. The processor has a plurality of pipelines. In response to the machine instruction, a control unit directs the pipelines to forward the data across the pipelines in order to move the data between the registers.
