Vertical-First allows *scalar* temporary registers to be utilised in the assessment as to whether a particular Vector element should -be skipped, utilising a straight Branch instruction. This technique +be skipped, utilising a straight Branch instruction *(or ZOLC +Conditions)*. This technique is pioneered by Mitch Alsup and is a key feature of his VVM Extension to MyISA 66000. Careful analysis of the registers within the Vertical-First Loop allows a Multi-Issue Out-of-Order Engine to
