Abstract:
A data processing system ( 2 ) supports non-speculative execution of vector load instructions that perform at least one contingent load of a data value. Fault detection circuitry ( 26 ) serves to detect whether a contingent load is fault-generating contingent load or a fault-free contingent load. Contingent load suppression circuitry ( 28 ) detects and suppresses a fault-free contingent load that matches a predetermined criteria that may result in an undesired change of architectural state (undesired side-effect). Examples of such predetermined criteria are that the contingent load is to a non-memory device or that the contingent load will trigger a diagnostic response such as entry of a halting debug halting mode or triggering of a debug exception.

Claim (Index 12):
Apparatus for processing data comprising:\n vector load means, responsive to non-speculative execution of a vector load instruction, for performing at least one contingent load of a data value read from a memory address location of a memory to an element of a vector register; fault detection means for detecting whether said contingent load is a fault-generating contingent load or a fault-free contingent load; and contingent load suppression means, coupled to said vector load means and said fault detection means, for detecting and suppressing a fault-free contingent load that matches a predetermined criteria.
