    Do you need to handle then in a cycle counter ???

    Yes, I do.
    I checked 2 below instructions that can be dual issue in your website: http://pulsar.webshaker.net
    mov r1, r2
    mov r3, r4
    However, in cycle 2, it  has nop instruction. Why does "nop" occur?
    About NEOn instructions, how to know that 2 NEON instructions can be dual issue? Do they follow the rule you mentioned?
