Summary:Techniques and mechanisms for a processor to determine whether a commit action is to be performed. In an embodiment, a processor performs operations to determine whether a commit instruction is for contingent performance of a commit action. In another embodiment, one or more conditions of processor state are evaluated in response to determining that the commit instruction is for contingent performance of the commit action, where the evaluation is performed to determine whether the commit action indicated by the commit instruction is to be performed.
