摘要： A method, system and computer program product for dynamically composing processor cores to form logical processors. Processor cores are composable in that the processor cores are dynamically allocated to form a logical processor to handle a change in the operating status. Once a change in the operating status is detected, a mechanism may be triggered to recompose one or more processor cores into a logical processor to handle the change in the operating status. An analysis may be performed as to how one or more processor cores should be recomposed to handle the change in the operating status. After the analysis, the one or more processor cores are recomposed into the logical processor to handle the change in the operating status. By dynamically allocating the processor cores to handle the change in the operating status, performance and power efficiency is improved.

摘要： A method and processor for providing full load/store queue functionality to an unordered load/store queue for a processor with out-of-order execution. Load and store instructions are inserted in a load/store queue in execution order. Each entry in the load/store queue includes an identification corresponding to a program order. Conflict detection in such an unordered load/store queue may be performed by searching a first CAM for all addresses that are the same or overlap with the address of the load or store instruction to be executed. A further search may be performed in a second CAM to identify those entries that are associated with younger or older instructions with respect to the sequence number of the load or store instruction to be executed. The output results of the Address CAM and Age CAM are logically ANDed.

摘要： Techniques related to dependence prediction for a memory system are generally described. Various implementations may include a predictor storage storing a value corresponding to at least one prediction type associated with at least one load operation, and a state-machine having multiple states. For example, the state-machine may determine whether to execute the load operation based upon a prediction type associated with each of the states and a corresponding precedent to the load operation for the associated prediction type. The state-machine may further determine the prediction type for a subsequent load operation based on a result of the load operation. The states of the state machine may correspond to prediction types, which may be a conservative prediction type, an aggressive prediction type, or one or more N-store prediction types, for example.

摘要： Embodiments provide methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable media associated with predicting predicates and branch targets during execution of programs using combined branch target and predicate predictions. The predictions may be made using one or more prediction control flow graphs which represent predicates in instruction blocks and branches between blocks in a program. The prediction control flow graphs may be structured as trees such that each node in the graphs is associated with a predicate instruction, and each leaf associated with a branch target which jumps to another block. During execution of a block, a prediction generator may take a control point history and generate a prediction. Following the path suggested by the prediction through the tree, both predicate values and branch targets may be predicted. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
