摘要： A mechanism is provided for issuing instructions. An instruction dispatch unit receives an instruction for dispatch to one of a plurality of execution units. The instruction dispatch unit analyzes a tag register to determine whether a previous tag associated with a previous instruction has been stored in the tag register. Responsive to the previous tag associated with the previous instruction failing to be stored in the tag register, the instruction dispatch unit storing a tag corresponding to the instruction in the tag register. The instruction dispatch unit dispatches the instruction to an issue queue for issue to the one of the plurality of execution units.

摘要： A processor having a dependency matrix comprises a first array comprising a plurality of cells arranged in a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows. Each row represents an instruction in a processor execution queue and each cell represents a dependency relationship between two instructions in the processor execution queue. A first latch couples to the first array and comprises a first bit, the first bit indicating a first status. A second latch couples to the first array and comprises a second bit, the second bit indicating a second status. A first read port couples to the first array, comprising a first read wordline and a first read bitline. The first read wordline couples to the first latch and a first column and asserts a first available signal based on the first bit. The first read bitline couples to a first row and generates a first ready signal based on the first available signal and a first cell. A second read port couples to the first array and comprises a second read wordline and a second read bitline. The second read wordline couples to the second latch and the first column and asserts a second available signal based on the second bit. The second read bitline couples to the first row and generates a second ready signal based on the second read wordline and the first cell.

摘要： A processor having a dependency matrix comprises a first array comprising a plurality of cells arranged in a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows. Each row represents an instruction in a processor execution queue and each cell in the first array represents a dependency relationship between two instructions in the processor execution queue. A clear port couples to the first array and clears a column of the first array. A producer status module couples to the clear port and the first array and determines an execution status of a producer instruction, wherein the producer instruction is an instruction in the processor execution queue. An available-status port couples to the first array and the producer status module and sets a read wordline column corresponding to the producer instruction based on the execution status of the producer instruction. The available-status port deasserts the read wordline column in response to a selection of the producer for execution. The available-status port reasserts the read wordline column in the event the producer status module determines the producer instruction has been rejected. The clear port clears the column of the first array corresponding to the producer instruction in the event the producer status module determines the producer instruction has been executed.

摘要： A processor includes an instruction sequencing unit, execution unit, and multi-level register file including a first level register file having a lower access latency and a second level register file having a higher access latency. Responsive to the processor processing a second instruction in a transactional code section to obtain as an execution result a second register value of the logical register, the mapper moves a first register value of the logical register to the second level register file, places the second register value in the first level register file, marks the second register value as speculative, and replaces a first mapping for the logical register with a second mapping. Responsive to unsuccessful termination of the transactional code section, the mapper designates the second register value in the first level register file as invalid so that the first register value in the second level register file becomes the working value.

摘要： Various systems, processes, products, and techniques may be used to manage thread transitions. In particular implementations, a system and process for managing thread transitions may include the ability to determine that a transition is to be made regarding the relative use of two data register sets and determine, based on the transition determination, whether to move thread data in at least one of the data register sets to second-level registers. The system and process may also include the ability to move the thread data from at least one data register set to second-level registers based on the move determination.

摘要： A method of restoring register mapper states for an out-of-order microprocessor. A processor maps a logical register to a physical register in a map table in response to a first instruction. Instruction sequencing logic records a second speculatively executed instruction as a most recently dispatched instruction in the map table when the second instruction maps the same logical register of the first instruction. The instruction sequencing logic sets an evictor instruction tag (ITAG) of the first instruction in the map table when the second instruction maps a same logical register of the first instruction. The instruction sequencing logic detects mispredicted speculative instructions, determines which instructions in the map table were dispatched prior to the mispredicted speculative instructions, and restores the map table to a state prior to the mispredicted speculative instructions by utilizing the evictor ITAG to restore one or more A bits in the map table data structure.

摘要： A processor includes an instruction fetch unit, an issue queue coupled to the instruction fetch unit, an execution unit coupled to the issue queue, and a multi-level register file including a first level register file having lower access latency and a second level register file having higher access latency. Each of the first and second level register files includes a plurality of physical registers for holding operands that is concurrently shared by a plurality of threads. The processor further includes a mapper that, at dispatch of an instruction specifying a source logical register from the instruction fetch unit to the issue queue, initiates a swap of a first operand associated with the source logical register that is in the second level register file with a second operand held in the first level register file. The issue queue, following the swap, issues the instruction to the execution unit for execution.
