+In high-level synthesis, there is no penalty for performing jumps, and
+one can therefore implement a lightweight predicated execution, where
+less predication is used (only in writes) and jumps are used in the
+shorted branches \[1\].
+
+This is done by adding a jump statement in the shorter branch which
+jumps to the end of the if-statement, therefore allowing predication to
+work as efficiently as jumps. This is more efficient for high-level
+synthesis, as there is no cost when jumping.
