摘要： One or more processor cores of a multiple-core processing device each can utilize a processing pipeline having a plurality of execution units (e.g., integer execution units or floating point units) that together share a pre-execution front-end having instruction fetch, decode and dispatch resources. Further, one or more of the processor cores each can implement dispatch resources configured to dispatch multiple instructions in parallel to multiple corresponding execution units via separate dispatch buses. The dispatch resources further can opportunistically decode and dispatch instruction operations from multiple threads in parallel so as to increase the dispatch bandwidth. Moreover, some or all of the stages of the processing pipelines of one or more of the processor cores can be configured to implement independent thread selection for the corresponding stage.

摘要： A token-based power control mechanism for an apparatus including a power controller and a plurality of processing devices. The power controller may detect a power budget allotted for the apparatus. The power controller may convert the allotted power budget into a plurality of power tokens, each power token being a portion of the allotted power budget. The power controller may then assign one or more of the plurality of power tokens to each of the processing devices. The assigned power tokens may determine the power allotted for each of the processing devices. The power controller may receive one or more requests from the plurality of processing devices for one or more additional power tokens. In response to receiving the requests, the power controller may determine whether to change the distribution of power tokens among the processing devices.

摘要： In one embodiment, a method for selecting transistor threshold voltages on an integrated circuit may include assigning a first threshold voltage to selected groups of transistors such as cell instances, for example, and determining which of the selected groups of transistors to assign a second threshold voltage, that is lower than the first threshold voltage, by iteratively performing a cost/benefit analysis. The method may further include determining which of the selected groups of transistors having a third threshold voltage to assign the first threshold voltage by iteratively performing a cost/benefit analysis. The cost/benefit analysis may include calculating a cost/benefit ratio for each group of the selected groups of transistors. In addition, the cost/benefit analysis may include calculating an upcone benefit and a downcone benefit for groups of transistors coupled to one or more inputs and outputs, respectively.

摘要： An apparatus for executing branch predictor directed prefetch operations. During operation, a branch prediction unit may provide an address of a first instruction to the fetch unit. The fetch unit may send a fetch request for the first instruction to the instruction cache to perform a fetch operation. In response to detecting a cache miss corresponding to the first instruction, the fetch unit may execute one or more prefetch operation while the cache miss corresponding to the first instruction is being serviced. The branch prediction unit may provide an address of a predicted next instruction in the instruction stream to the fetch unit. The fetch unit may send a prefetch request for the predicted next instruction to the instruction cache to execute the prefetch operation. The fetch unit may store prefetched instruction data obtained from a next level of memory in the instruction cache or in a prefetch buffer.
