Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. The method of claim 13, wherein:
the loop count value is an outer loop count value;
the threshold is an outer loop threshold;
the shift register is an outer loop shift register;
the set of memory devices is a first set of memory devices;
the set of output values is a first set of output values;
the multiplexer is an outer loop multiplexer;
the predicate value is an outer loop predicate value; and
the method further comprises:
determining an inner loop count value;
comparing the inner loop count value to an inner loop threshold;
shifting a value into an inner loop shift register that is based on the comparing of the inner loop count value to the inner loop threshold, wherein the inner loop shift register includes a second set of memory devices;
receiving a second set of output values from the second set of memory devices; and
selecting, using a second multiplexer coupled to the set of memory devices, an inner loop predicate value to provide from the second set of output values.
