摘要： A method and apparatus for rescheduling operations in a processor. More particularly, the present invention relates to optimally using a scheduler resource in a processor by analyzing, predicting, and sorting the write order of instructions into the scheduler so that the duration the instructions sit idle in the scheduler is minimized. The analyses, prediction, and sorting may be done between an instruction queue and a scheduler by using delay units. The prediction can be based on history (latency, dependency, and resource) or on a general prediction scheme.

摘要： A system and method for reducing linear address aliasing is described. In one embodiment, a portion of a linear address is combined with a process identifier, e.g., a page directory base pointer to form an adjusted-linear address. The page directory base pointer is unique to a process and combining it with a portion of the linear address produces an adjusted-linear address that provides a high probability of no aliasing. A portion of the adjusted-linear address is used to search an adjusted-linear-addressed cache memory for a data block specified by the linear address. If the data block does not reside in the adjusted-linear-addressed cache memory, then a replacement policy selects one of the cache lines in the adjusted-linear-addressed cache memory and replaces the data block of the selected cache line with a data block located at a physical address produced from translating the linear address. The tag for the cache line selected is a portion of the adjusted linear address and the physical address produced from translating the linear address.

摘要： A system and method for storing only one copy of a data block that is shared by two or more processes is described. In one embodiment, a global/non-global predictor predicts whether a data block, specified by a linear address, is shared or not shared by two or more processes. If the data block is predicted to be non-shared, then a portion of the linear address referencing the data block is combined with a process identifier that is unique to form a global/non-global linear address. If the data block is predicted to be shared, then the global/non-global linear address is the linear address itself. If the prediction as to whether or not the data block is shared is incorrect, then the actual value of whether or not the data block is shared is used in computing a corrected global/non-global linear address. If the data referenced by either the global/non-global linear address that was predicted correctly or the corrected global/non-global linear address resides in the global/non-global linear-addressed cache memory, then that data block is accessed and transmitted to a requesting processor. If the data referenced by either the global/non-global linear address that was predicted correctly or the corrected global/non-global linear address does not reside in the global/non-global linear-addressed cache memory, then a cache line selected by a replacement policy has its data block replaced with a data block from a storage device at a higher hierarchical level as specified by the linear address.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, apparatus and system for memory renaming. In one embodiment, a decode unit may decode a load instruction. If the load instruction is predicted to be memory renamed, the load instruction may have a predicted store identifier associated with the load instruction. The decode unit may transform the load instruction that is predicted to be memory renamed into a data move instruction and a load check instruction. The data move instruction may read data from the cache based on the predicted store identifier and load check instruction may compare an identifier associated with an identified source store with the predicted store identifier. A retirement unit may retire the load instruction if the predicted store identifier matches an identifier associated with the identified source store. In another embodiment of the present invention, the processor may re-execute the load instruction without memory renaming if the predicted store identifier does not match the identifier associated with the identified source store.

摘要： Systems and methods of managing threads provide for supporting a plurality of logical threads with a plurality of simultaneous physical threads in which the number of logical threads may be greater than or less than the number of physical threads. In one approach, each of the plurality of logical threads is maintained in one of a wait state, an active state, a drain state, and a stall state. A state machine and hardware sequencer can be used to transition the logical threads between states based on triggering events and whether or not an interruptible point has been encountered in the logical threads. The logical threads are scheduled on the physical threads to meet, for example, priority, performance or fairness goals. It is also possible to specify the resources that are available to each logical thread in order to meet these and other, goals. In one example, a single logical thread can speculatively use more than one physical thread, pending a selection of which physical thread should be committed.

摘要翻译：描述用于仅存储由两个或多个进程共享的数据块的一个副本的系统和方法。在一个实施例中，全局/非全局预测器预测由线性地址指定的数据块是由两个或多个进程共享还是不共享。如果预测数据块是非共享的，则引用数据块的线性地址的一部分与唯一的进程标识符组合以形成全局/非全局线性地址。如果数据块被预测为共享，则全局/非全局线性地址是线性地址本身。如果关于数据块是否共享的预测是不正确的，则在计算校正的全局/非全局线性地址时使用数据块是否被共享的实际值。如果由正确预测的全局/非全局线性地址所引用的数据或校正的全局/非全局线性地址驻留在全局/非全局线性寻址高速缓存存储器中，则该数据块被访问和发送到请求处理器。如果由正确预测的全局/非全局线性地址所引用的数据或校正的全局/非全局线性地址不驻留在全局/非全局线性寻址高速缓存存储器中，则由替换策略的数据块由线性地址指定的较高层级的存储设备的数据块替换。

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention relate to a memory management scheme and apparatus that enables efficient memory renaming. The method includes computing a store address, writing the store address in a first storage, writing data associated with the store address to a memory, and de-allocating the store address from the first storage, allocating the store address in a second storage, predicting a load instruction to be memory renamed, computing a load store source index, computing a load address, disambiguating the memory renamed load instruction, and retiring the memory renamed load instruction, if the store instruction is still allocated in at least one of the first storage and the second storage and should have effectively provided to the load the full data. The method may also include re-executing the load instruction without memory renaming, if the store instruction is not in at the first storage or in the second storage.

摘要： A cache technique for maximizing cache efficiency by assigning ages to elements which access the cache, is described. In one embodiment, the cache technique includes receiving a first element of a first type by a cache and writing the first element in a set of the cache. The first element has a first age. The cache technique further includes receiving a second element of a second type by the cache and writing the second element in the set of the cache. The second element has a middle age, where the first age is a more recently used age than the middle age. In another embodiment, the cache technique includes receiving a first element of a first stream by a cache and writing the first element in a set of the cache. The first element has a first age. The cache technique further includes receiving a second element of a second stream by the cache and writing the second element in the set of the cache. The second element has a middle age, where the first age is a more recently used age than the middle age.
