Zero operand instruction conversion for accelerating sparse computations in a central processing unit pipeline

A processing device includes a zero detection circuit to determine that an operand of a first instruction is zero and instruction conversion logic coupled with the zero detection circuit to, in response to the zero detection circuit determining that the operand is zero, convert the first instruction...
