Abstract:
Processing within a computing environment is facilitated using an extended DRAIN instruction. An extended DRAIN instruction is used to stall processing within a computing environment. The instruction includes an indication of the one or more processing stages at which processing is to be stalled. It also includes a control that allows processing to be stalled for additional cycles, as desired.
