Abstract

A method for executing an instruction, the method includes: executing a compare and configure mask instruction, wherein the executing comprises: performing a comparison to provide a comparison result; and configuring, in response to the comparison result, a multiple bit mask that is stored in a multiple-purpose register; wherein all bits of the multiple bit mask are configured to have the same value; and applying an algorithmic operation on the multiple bit mask to provide an algorithmic operation result; wherein the algorithmic operation result represents an outcome of a high level programming language conditional statement.
