Abstract
Fast issuance and execution of a multi-width instruction across multiple slices in a parallel slice processor core is supported in part through the use of an early notification signal passed between issue logic associated with multiple slices handling that multi-width instruction coupled with an issuance of a different instruction by the originating issue logic for the early notification signal.
