A method, computer readable medium, and system are disclosed for inline data inspection. The method includes the steps of receiving, by a load/store unit, a load instruction and obtaining, by an inspection circuit that is coupled to the load/store unit, data specified by the load instruction. Additional steps include determining that the data equals zero and transmitting the data and a predicate signal to the load/store unit, wherein the predicate signal indicates that the data equals zero. Alternative additional steps include computing a predicate value based on a comparison between the data and a threshold value and transmitting the data and the predicate value to the load/store unit, wherein the predicate value is asserted when the data is less than the threshold value and is negated when the data is not less than the threshold value.
