Method, apparatus and system for selective execution of a commit instruction

A processor comprising:

• an instruction set;
• a decoder including circuit logic to detect a commit instruction indicating a commit action and to decode the commit instruction according to the instruction set;
• and
• an execution unit to execute the decoded commit instruction;
• wherein the decoder and the execution unit to determine whether the commit instruction is for contingent performance of the commit action, and wherein the decoder and the execution unit to generate, based on the determining, a signal indicating whether one or more conditions are to be evaluated for determining whether the commit action is to be performed.

A computer platform comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor including
• an instruction set;
• a decoder coupled including circuit logic to detect a commit instruction indicating a commit action and to decode the commit instruction according to the instruction set;
• and
• an execution unit to execute the decoded commit instruction;
• wherein the decoder and the execution unit to determine whether the commit instruction is for contingent performance of the commit action, and wherein the decoder and the execution unit to generate, based on the determining, a signal indicating whether one or more conditions arc to be evaluated for determining whether the commit action is to be performed;
• and
• a network interface to couple the computer platform to a network.
