摘要： A mechanism for controlling instruction fetch and dispatch thread priority settings in a thread switch control register for reducing the occurrence of balance flushes and dispatch flushes for increased power performance of a simultaneous multi-threading data processing system. To achieve a target power efficiency mode of a processor, the illustrative embodiments receive an instruction or command from a higher-level system control to set a current power consumption of the processor. The illustrative embodiments determine a target power efficiency mode for the processor. Once the target power mode is determined, the illustrative embodiments update thread priority settings in a thread switch control register for an executing thread to control balance flush speculation and dispatch flush speculation to achieve the target power efficiency mode.

摘要： A single unified level one instruction cache in which some lines may contain traces and other lines in the same congruence class may contain blocks of instructions consistent with conventional cache lines. Control is exercised over which lines are contained within the cache. This invention avoids inefficiencies in the cache by removing trace lines experiencing early exits from the cache, or trace lines that are short, by maintaining a few bits of information about the accuracy of the control flow in a trace cache line and using that information in addition to the LRU (Least Recently Used) bits that maintain the recency information of a cache line, in order to make a replacement decision.

摘要： A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for at least one of designing, manufacturing, and testing a design for a single unified level one instruction cache in which some lines may contain traces and other lines in the same congruence class may contain blocks of instructions consistent with conventional cache lines is provided. Instruction branches are predicted taken or not taken using a highly accurate branch history table (BHT). Branches that are predicted not taken are appended to a trace buffer and the next basic block is constructed from the remaining instructions in the fetch buffer. Branches that are predicted taken flush the remaining fetch buffer and the next address is determined using a Branch Target Address Register (BTAC).

摘要： A design structure is provided for a slotted ring network, in which a node may transmit a non-renewable slot reservation with any unreserved slot. The reservation restricts other nodes from transmitting a new packet in the slot. When the slot returns around the ring to the reserving node, the slot will be available. Preferably, reservation is made responsive to a starvation condition in the reserving node, which may be detected in any of various ways. In an optional enhancement, a reservation identifies the reserving node, and another node on the ring is free to transmit a new packet in the reserved slot if the new packet will reach its destination at or before the reserving node, and thus will not interfere with the reservation.

摘要： An apparatus for performing alignment shifting in a floating-point unit is disclosed. An alignment shifter includes a shift amount calculator, a set of first level shifters and a set of second level shifter. The shift amount calculator generates one shift amount under a double-precision mode and two shift amounts under a single-precision mode. The first level shifters can concurrently receive two double-precision mantissas under the double-precision mode or two single-precision mantissas under the single-precision mode. The first level of shifts performs small shifts concurrently on the two double-precision mantissas according to the single shift amount, or on the two single-precision mantissas according to the two shift amounts. The second level shifters performs large shifts on outputs from the first level shifters to generate one double-precision floating-point result or two single-precision floating-point results.
