1. A system for reducing overhead on a loop of a plurality of instructions, the loop being performed a particular number of times, the system comprising: a mask register for providing a carry mask, the carry mask having a first value for the loop being performed at least the particular number of times minus one and a second value for at least a last instruction of the loop being performed a last time; addition logic, coupled with the mask register, for determining which of the plurality of instructions is to be executed, the carry mask and a current instruction of the plurality of instructions corresponding to inputs of the addition logic, a resultant of the addition logic corresponding to a next instruction of the plurality of instructions unless the current instruction is the last instruction, the resultant of the addition logic corresponding to the first instruction for the current instruction being the last instruction and the loop being performed less than the particular number of times.
