A method of receiving a plurality of instructions, comprising the steps of:
- (A) storing a first of said instructions in response to receiving said first instruction at an initial time;
- and
- (B) rejecting a second of said instructions that depends from said first instruction in response to receiving said second instruction greater than a maximum delay after said initial time.
A device comprising:
- a detector circuit configured to receive a plurality of instructions;
- and
- a timing circuit configured to (i) store a first of said instructions received at an initial time and (ii) reject a second of said instructions that depends from said first instruction in response to receiving said second instruction greater than a maximum delay after said initial time.
The device comprising:
- means for storing a first of a plurality of instructions in response to receiving said first instruction at an initial time;
- means for rejecting a second of said instructions that depends from said first instruction in response to receiving said second instruction greater than a maximum delay after said initial time.
