Predication (computer architecture)
SIMD, SIMT and Vector Predication Some SIMD instruction sets, like AVX2, have the ability to use a logical mask to conditionally load/store values to memory, a parallel form of the conditional move, and may also apply individual mask bits to individual arithmetic units executing a parallel operation. The technique is ...
