Abstract

A system implemented in hardware includes a main processing core decoding instructions for out of order execution. The instructions include template based user defined instructions. A user execution block executes the template based user defined instructions. An interface is positioned between the main processing core and the user execution block. A computer readable medium includes executable instructions to describe a processing core supporting execution of a proprietary instruction set and decoding of customized instructions that adhere to a specified pattern. The specified pattern includes a source, a destination and a latency period. A user execution block is connected to the processing core to execute the customized instructions.
