Selecting an executable operation from a lookup table identified by a conditional instruction and indexed based on combined results of concurrently-computed relational operators

A chip, comprising:

• at least one processing core;
• a controller circuit operatively coupled to the at least one processing core;
• and
• an instruction memory in communication with the controller circuit, the instruction memory having stored therein a program comprising a plurality of instructions, wherein the controller circuit is configured to:
• select a conditional instruction from the plurality of instructions, the conditional instruction having a plurality of relational operators, wherein the plurality of relational operators comprises at least a first relational operator and a second relational operator different from the first relational operator;
• concurrently compute the plurality of relational operators on a plurality of inputs, resulting in a plurality of results;
• combine the plurality of results to determine an index;
• select, using the index, from a lookup table, an operation, wherein the selected conditional instruction identifies the lookup table;
• and
• cause the at least one processing core to execute the selected operation.
