摘要： A method and apparatus to utilize a fetching scheme for instructions in a processor to limit the expenditure of power caused by the speculative execution of branch instructions is provided. Also provided is a computer readable storage device encoded with data for adapting a manufacturing facility to create an apparatus. The method includes calculating a cumulative confidence measure based on one or more outstanding conditional branch instructions. The method also includes reducing prefetching operations in response to detecting that the cumulative confidence measure is below a first threshold level.

摘要： The disclosed data processor (10) dispatches load/store multiple and load/store string instructions to a load/store unit (28) as a sequence of simple load or store instructions. The sequencer unit (18) assigns an entry of a rename buffer (34) to which the load/store unit writes back the data of each simple load instruction. This strategy facilitates early data forwarding for subsequent instructions. Conversely, the sequencer unit supplies a rename buffer tag to the load/store unit if it is not able to supply the operands of a simple store instruction.

摘要： A data processor (10) has a branch target address cache (48) for storing the target addresses of a number of recently taken branch instructions. Normally, each fetch address is compared to the contents of the branch target address cache. If a hit occurs, then the data processor branches to the cached target address. The data processor also has a dispatch unit (60) that invalidates the data stored in the branch target address cache if and when it determines that the branch target address cache "hit" on an instruction that was not a branch instruction at all, a "phantom branch." The data processor thereby automatically invalidates its branch target address cache data after a context switch.
摘要翻译：数据处理器（10）具有分支目标地址高速缓冲存储器（48），用于存储多个最近采取的分支指令的目标地址。通常，将每个获取地址与分支目标地址高速缓存的内容进行比较。如果发生命中，则数据处理器分支到缓存的目标地址。数据处理器还具有一个调度单元（60），当分支目标地址缓存器确定分支目标地址高速缓冲存储器“完全不是分支指令”的指令时，使分配目标地址缓存中存储的数据无效，幻影分支“。因此，数据处理器在上下文切换之后自动使其分支目标地址高速缓存数据失效。

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for increasing the accuracy of a branch predictor. A branch prediction table provides a first instance of a branch prediction value associated with an instruction being speculatively executed a first time; and provides a second instance of the branch prediction value associated with the instruction being speculatively executed a second rime. The first instance of the branch prediction value may be subsequently revised after the instruction associated with the first instance of the branch prediction value is retired. Information regarding whether that branch instruction was accurately predicted may then be used to update the branch prediction table and the second instance of the branch prediction value.
