Abstract

Systems and methods of code evaluation for in-order processing are disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes identifying a first instruction having multiple execution source paths. The method also includes generating a first execution path model identifying an execution order of multiple instructions based on a first condition and generating a second execution path model identifying an execution order of a second instruction based on a second condition. The method includes evaluating at least one of the execution path models to identify a hazard condition.
