Abstract
A predicated instruction compilation system includes a control flow graph generation module to generate a control flow graph of a program code to be compiled into the predicated instructions to be executed on a processor that does not include any program counter. Each of the instructions includes a predicate guard and a predicate update. The compilation system also includes a control flow transformation module to automatically generate the predicate guard and an update to the predicate state on the processor. A computer-implemented method of compiling a program code into predicated instructions is also described.
