Abstract
Systems and methods for enhancing performance of programs implemented on an integrated circuit (IC) are provided. A forward-flow selector may determine a common branch for adding a data set to and removing a data set from. By selecting a common branch for adding and removing a data set, there will be a pipeline stage for data flowing into the branch. Accordingly, the embodiments described herein enhance throughput by increasing the number of datasets that may enter a branched pipeline without stalling.
