Zusammenfassung:Aspects include a computer-implemented method for receiving an instruction at a processor, the instruction associated with a memory block having an address. A clear indicator that indicates whether the memory block is in a cleared state is assessed by the processor. The cleared state is a state of the memory block in which the memory block does not have any data stored therein. The method also includes determining based on the clear indicator whether the memory block is in the cleared state.
