摘要： A scheduler issues memory operations without regard to whether or not resources are available to handle each possible execution outcome of that memory operation. The scheduler also retains the memory operation after issuance. If a condition occurs which prevents correct execution of the memory operation, the memory operation is retried. The scheduler subsequently reschedules and reissues the memory operation in response to the retry. Additionally, the scheduler may receive a retry type indicating the reason for retry. Certain retry types may indicate a delayed reissuance of the memory operation until the occurrence of a subsequent event. In response to such retry types, the scheduler monitors for the subsequent event and delays reissuance until the event is detected. The scheduler may include a physical address buffer to detect a load memory operation which incorrectly issued prior to an older store memory operation upon which it is dependent for the memory operation. The scheduler may also include a store tag buffer to detect that a load memory operation is to be reissued due to the reissuance of a store memory operation on which the load was determined to be dependent during the previous execution of the load memory operation.

摘要： A scheduler issues instruction operations for execution, but also retains the instruction operations. If a particular instruction operation is subsequently found to be incorrectly executed, the particular instruction operation may be reissued from the scheduler. The penalty for incorrect scheduling of instruction operations may be reduced as compared to purging the particular instruction operation and younger instruction operations from the pipeline and refetching the particular instruction operation. Furthermore, the scheduler may employ a more aggressive scheduling mechanism since the penalty for incorrect execution is reduced. Additionally, the scheduler maintains the dependency indications for each instruction operation which has been issued. If the particular instruction operation is reissued, the instruction operations which are dependent on the particular instruction operation (directly or indirectly) may be identified via the dependency indications. The scheduler reissues the dependent instruction operations as well. Instruction operations which are subsequent to the particular instruction operation in program order but which are not dependent on the particular instruction operation are not reissued. Accordingly, the penalty for incorrect scheduling of instruction operations may be further decreased over the purging of the particular instruction and all younger instruction operations and refetching the particular instruction operation.

摘要： A scheduler issues instruction operations for execution, but also retains the instruction operations. If a particular instruction operation is subsequently found to be required to execute non-speculatively, the particular instruction operation is still stored in the scheduler. Subsequent to determining that the particular operation has become non-speculative (through the issuance and execution of instruction operations prior to the particular instruction operation), the particular instruction operation may be reissued from the scheduler. The penalty for incorrect scheduling of instruction operations which are to execute non-speculatively may be reduced as compared to purging the particular instruction operation and younger instruction operations from the pipeline and refetching the particular instruction operation. Additionally, the scheduler may maintain the dependency indications for each instruction operation which has been issued. If the particular instruction operation is reissued, the instruction operations which are dependent on the particular instruction operation (directly or indirectly) may be identified via the dependency indications. The scheduler reissues the dependent instruction operations as well. Instruction operations which are subsequent to the particular instruction operation in program order but which are not dependent on the particular instruction operation are not reissued. Accordingly, the penalty for incorrect scheduling of instruction operations which are to be executed non-speculatively may be further decreased over the purging of the particular instruction and all younger instruction operations and refetching the particular instruction operation.

摘要： A processor employs a store to load forward (STLF) predictor which may indicate, for dispatching loads, a dependency on a store. The dependency is indicated for a store which, during a previous execution, interfered with the execution of the load. Since a dependency is indicated on the store, the load is prevented from scheduling and/or executing prior to the store. The STLF predictor is trained with information for a particular load and store in response to executing the load and store and detecting the interference. Additionally, the STLF predictor may be untrained (e.g. information for a particular load and store may be deleted) if a load is indicated by the STLF predictor as dependent upon a particular store and the dependency does not actually occur. In one implementation, the STLF predictor records at least a portion of the PC of a store which interferes with the load in a first table indexed by the load PC. A second table maintains a corresponding portion of the store PCs of recently dispatched stores, along with tags identifying the recently dispatched stores. In another implementation, the STLF predictor records a difference between the tags assigned to a load and a store which interferes with the load in a first table indexed by the load PC. The PC of the dispatching load is used to select a difference from the table, and the difference is added to the tag assigned to the load.

摘要： A processor includes execution resources for handling a first memory operation and a concurrent second memory operation. If one of the memory operations is misaligned, the processor may allocate the execution resources for the other memory operation to that memory operation. In one embodiment, the older memory operation proceeds if misalignment is detected. The younger memory operation is retried and may be reexecuted at a later time. If the older memory operation is misaligned, the execution resources provided for the younger operation may be allocated to the older memory operation. If only the younger memory operation is misaligned, the younger memory operation may be the older memory operation during a subsequent reexecution and may thus be allocated the execution resources to allow the memory operation to complete.

摘要： One or more fabric control circuits may be inserted in a communication fabric to control various aspects of the communications by components in the system. The fabric control circuits may be included on the interface of the components to the communication fabric, for example. Some systems that include a hierarchical communication fabric may also include fabric control circuits that may alternatively or additionally be included. The fabric control circuits may be programmable, and thus may provide the ability to tune the communication fabric to meet performance and/or functionality goals.

摘要： A system and method for efficiently reducing the power consumption of register file accesses. A processor is operable to execute instructions with two or more data types, each with an associated size and alignment. Data operands for a first data type use operand sizes equal to an entire width of a physical register within a physical register file. Data operands for a second data type use operand sizes less than an entire width of a physical register. Accesses of the physical register file for operands associated with a non-full-width data type do not access a full width of the physical registers. A given numerical value may be bypassed for the portion of the physical register that is not accessed.

摘要： In one embodiment, a memory that is delineated into transparent and non-transparent portions. The transparent portion may be controlled by a control unit coupled to the memory, along with a corresponding tag memory. The non-transparent portion may be software controlled by directly accessing the non-transparent portion via an input address. In an embodiment, the memory may include a decoder configured to decode the address and select a location in either the transparent or non-transparent portion. Each request may include a non-transparent attribute identifying the request as either transparent or non-transparent. In an embodiment, the size of the transparent portion may be programmable. Based on the non-transparent attribute indicating transparent, the decoder may selectively mask bits of the address based on the size to ensure that the decoder only selects a location in the transparent portion.
