摘要:
An extended DRAIN instruction is used to stall processing within a computing environment. The instruction includes an indication of the one or more processing stages at which processing is to be stalled. It also includes a control that allows processing to be stalled for additional cycles, as desired. The enhanced DRAIN instruction enables its use to be more granular and to have minimal impact with respect to each individual use.
