Abstract
Methods and systems provide for the fusing of multiple operations into a single micro-operation (uop). A method of decoding a macro-instruction provides for transferring data relating to a first operation from the macro-instruction to a uop. The uop is to be executed by an execution system of a processor. The method further provides for transferring data relating to a second operation from the macro-instruction to the uop.
