Fusible instructions and logic provide OR-test and AND-test functionality on multiple test sources. Some embodiments include a processor decode stage to decode a test instruction for execution, the instruction specifying first, second and third source data operands, and an operation type. Execution units, responsive to the decoded test instruction, perform one logical operation, according to the specified operation type, between data from the first and second source data operands, and perform a second logical operation between the data from the third source data operand and the result of the first logical operation to set a condition flag. Some embodiments generate the test instruction dynamically by fusing one logical instruction with a prior-art test instruction. Other embodiments generate the test instruction through a just-in-time compiler. Some embodiments also fuse the test instruction with a subsequent conditional branch instruction, and perform a branch according to how the condition flag is set.

According to a first aspect, efficient data transfer operations can be achieved by: decoding by a processor device, a single instruction specifying a transfer operation for a plurality of data elements between a first storage location and a second storage location; issuing the single instruction for execution by an execution unit in the processor; detecting an occurrence of an exception during execution of the single instruction; and in response to the exception, delivering pending traps or interrupts to an exception handler prior to delivering the exception.

Embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and method for getting even or odd data elements are described. For example, in some embodiments, an apparatus includes a decoder to decode an instruction, wherein the instruction to include fields for a first source operand, a second source operand, and a destination operand; and execution circuitry to execute the decoded instruction to extract data elements from even data element positions of the first and second source operands and store the extracted data elements into the destination operand.
