Instruction and logic for predication and implicit destination
A processor includes a front end to receive an instruction. The processor also includes a core to execute the instruction. The core includes logic to execute a base function of the instruction to yield a result, generate a predicate value of a comparison of the result based upon a predication setting in the instruction, and set the predicate value in a register. The processor also includes a retirement unit to retire the instruction.
