摘要： A data processing system is provided in which destination operands to be stored within architectural registers are constrained to have zero values added as prefixes in order that the architectural register value has a fixed bit width irrespective of the bit width of the destination operand being written thereto. Instead of adding these zero values everywhere in the data path, they are instead represented by zero flags in at least the physical registers utilized for register renaming operations and in the result queue prior to results being written to the architectural register file. This saves circuitry resources and reduces energy consumption.

摘要： A processor core supports execution of program instruction from both a first instruction set and a second instruction set. An architectural register file 18 containing architectural registers is shared by the two instruction sets. The two instruction sets employ logical register specifiers which for at least some values of those logical registers specifiers correspond to different architectural registers within the architectural register file 18. A first decoder 4 for the first instruction set and a second decoder 6 for the second instruction set serve to decode the logical register specifiers to a common register addressing format. This common register addressing format is used to supply register specifiers to renaming circuitry 10 for supporting register renaming in conjunction with a physical register file 16 and an architectural register file 18.

摘要： A processor 2 for performing out-of-order execution of a stream of program instructions includes a special register access pipeline for performing status access instructions accessing a status register 20. In order to serialise these status access instructions relative to other instructions within the system access timing control circuitry 32 permits dispatch of other instructions to proceed but controls the commit queue and the result queue such that no program instructions in program order succeeding the status access instruction are permitted to complete until after a trigger state has been detected in which all program instructions preceding in program order the status access instruction have been performed and made any updates to the architectural state. This is followed by the performance of the status access instruction itself.

摘要： A loop buffer is provided with a main store 26 and an auxiliary store 28. The main store 26 stores micro-operation instructions. The auxiliary store 28 has fewer entries than the main store 26 and stores target addresses for predicted taken branch instructions stored within the main store 26. Read control circuitry serves to control reading from the main store and from an auxiliary store such that target addresses are read from the auxiliary store in association with the predicted taken branch instructions read from the main store.

摘要： The present invention provides a method and apparatus for allowing autonomous, way specific tag updates. More specifically, the invention provides way specific tag and status updates while concurrently allowing reads of the ways not currently being updated. If a read hit is determined, then the read is processed in a typical fashion. However, if the read is a read miss and one of the ways is flagged as being updated, then all ways are read again once the specific way has completed its updated.

摘要： Where a plurality of ordered transactions are received for data transfers on a pipelined bus, each transaction in the series is initiated before all prospective retry responses to the preceding ordered transactions may be asserted. The address responses to all preceding ordered transfers are then monitored in connection with performance of the newly initiated transfer. If a retry response to any preceding ordered transaction is asserted, a self-initiated retry response for all subsequent transactions, including the newly initiated transfer, is also asserted. The system-retried transactions and all succeeding, ordered transactions are immediately reattempted. The overlapping performance of the ordered transfers reduces the latency of non-retried transfers, achieving performance comparable to non-ordered transactions. Even where a retry response is asserted, the total latency required for completion of both transactions in the ordered pair is reduced by at least a portion of the address-to-response latency, so that the impact of ordering requirements on system performance is minimized. Strict ordering is thus enforced while taking full advantage of the pipelined nature of the bus to maximize utilization of the bus bandwidth.
摘要翻译：在对流水线总线上的数据传输接收到多个有序事务的情况下，系列中的每个事务在所有对先前有序事务的预期重试响应可能被断言之前启动。然后，与新发起的传输的性能相关联地监视对所有先前有序传输的地址响应。如果对任何先前有序事务的重试响应被断言，则还会断言所有后续事务的自发起的重试响应，包括新发起的传输。系统重试的交易和所有后续的有序交易立即被重新尝试。有序传输的重叠性能降低了非重试传输的延迟，实现与非有序事务相当的性能。即使在重试响应被断言的情况下，完成有序对中的两个事务所需的总延迟也减少了地址到响应延迟的至少一部分，从而将排序要求对系统性能的影响降到最低。因此，在充分利用总线的流水线特性的同时强制执行严格排序，以最大限度地利用总线带宽。

An architectural register file 18 containing architectural registers is shared by the two instruction sets. The two instruction sets employ logical register specifiers which for at least some values of those logical registers specifiers correspond to different architectural registers within the architectural register file 18. A first decoder 4 for the first instruction set and a second decoder 6 for the second instruction set serve to decode the logical register specifiers to a common register addressing format. This common register addressing format is used to supply register specifiers to renaming circuitry 10 for supporting register renaming in conjunction with a physical register file 16 and an architectural register file 18.

摘要： An out-of-order renaming processor is provided with a register file within which aliasing between registers of different sizes may occur. In this way a program instruction having a source register of a double precision size may alias with two single precision registers being used as destinations of one or more preceding program instructions. In order to track this data dependency the double precision register may be remapped into a micro-operation specifying two single precision registers as its source register. In this way, scheduling circuitry may use its existing hazard detection and management mechanisms to handle potential data hazards and dependencies. Not all program instructions having such data hazards between registers of different sizes are handled by this source register remapping. For these other program instructions a slower mechanism for dealing with the data dependency hazard is provided. This slower mechanism may, for example, be to drain all the preceding micro-operations from the execution pipelines before issuing the micro-operation having the data hazard.
摘要翻译：无序重命名处理器具有寄存器文件，在该寄存器文件中可能发生不同大小的寄存器之间的混叠。以这种方式，具有双精度尺寸的源寄存器的程序指令可以使用两个单精度寄存器作为一个或多个先前程序指令的目的地。为了跟踪这种数据依赖关系，双精度寄存器可以重新映射成指定两个单精度寄存器作为其源寄存器的微操作。以这种方式，调度电路可以使用其现有的危险检测和管理机制来处理潜在的数据危害和依赖性。并不是所有具有不同大小的寄存器之间的数据危害的程序指令都由该源寄存器重新映射来处理。对于这些其他程序指令，提供了一种用于处理数据依赖性危害的较慢机制。例如，这种较慢的机制可以在发出具有数据危险的微操作之前从执行管线中排出所有先前的微操作。
