System and method for conditionally moving an operand from a source register to a destination register

A system for moving an operand from a source register to a destination register, comprising:

• a first source register partitioned into a plurality of first slots and a second source register partitioned into a plurality of second slots, wherein each one of said first and second slots is configured for storing a different operand, and wherein said first and second source registers are each configured for providing multiple different operands in parallel;
• a plurality of logic units each configured to perform an instruction on an operand from a respective one of said first slots and an operand from a respective one of said second slots, wherein said plurality of logic units are configured to perform concurrently;
• a destination register partitioned into a plurality of destination slots;
• a data bus operably coupled for loading a first operand into a slot of said plurality of first slots and for loading a second operand into a slot of said plurality of second slots, respectively;
• and
• a control bus operably coupled to provide a conditional move instruction to one of said logic units for moving said second operand into a slot of said plurality of destination slots depending upon a value of said first operand.
