Method, Computer Program, Computer-Readable Data Carrier And Computing Device For Deterministic Execution Of An Instruction Set As Well As Apparatus Comprising Same

Original (Chinese)

A method for deterministic execution of an instruction set (I) containing instructions (M) to be carried out by a processing unit of the computing device includes the steps of executing a predefined number of pre-branch instructions (A) up to a conditional branch (C) of the instruction set (I) containing at least one branch condition determining a subsequent instruction which is to be executed after the conditional branch (C); predicting at least one of the pre-branch instructions (A) and/or a target instruction (T) to be executed as the subsequent instruction if the at least one condition is met; and inserting the at least one predicted pre-branch instruction (A) and/or the target instruction (T) into the instruction set (I) after the conditional branch (C). A computer program, computer-readable data-carrier, computing device, and apparatus, such as a vehicle, in particular an aircraft may be configured to perform the method.
