Method for encoding an instruction set with a load with conditional fault instruction

A computer system comprising:

• a processor;
• a system memory coupled to the processor;
• and
• a machine-readable medium coupled to the processor, said machine-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of executable instructions to perform a method comprising:
• associating a conditional operator within a load instruction, said conditional operator to provide information related to behavior of the load instruction;
• enabling evaluation of the conditional operator to determine a value for the behavior of the load instruction;
• and
• enabling replacement of data obtained by the load instruction based on the value of the conditional operator.

A processor comprising:

• a decode unit to receive a load with conditional fault instruction to cause said processor to associate a conditional operator within a load instruction, said conditional operator to provide information related to behavior of the load instruction;
• enable evaluation of the conditional operator to determine a value for the behavior of the load instruction;
• and
• enable replacement of data obtained by the load instruction based on the value of the conditional operator.
