Control words are included in instruction packets to influence how one or more instructions in the packet are executed. Whether the control word is short or long will depend upon the situation. A short control word will be included in the packet in the event that the short control word has a sufficient number of content bits for support of a feature that influences how one or more instructions in the packet are executed. However, a long control word will be included in the packet instead of the short control word in the event that the short control word has an insufficient number of content bits for support of the feature and the long control word has a sufficient number of content bits for support of the feature.
