摘要： A processing system is provided consisting of an interrupt pin, multiple registers, a stack pointer, and an automatic interrupt system. The multiple registers store a number of processor states values. When the system detects an interrupt on the interrupt pin the system prepares to enter an exception mode where the automatic interrupt system causes an interrupt vector to be fetched, the stack pointer to be updated, and the processor state values to be read in parallel from the registers and stored in memory locations based on the updated stack pointer, prior to the execution of an interrupt service routine. A method for automatic hardware interrupt handling is also presented

摘要： A multithreaded processor includes a thread ID for each set of fetched bits in an instruction fetch and issue unit. The thread ID attaches to the instructions and operands of the set of fetched bits. Pipeline stages in the multithreaded processor stores the thread ID associated with each operand or instruction in the pipeline stage. The thread ID are used to maintain data coherency and to generate program traces that include thread information for the instructions executed by the multithreaded processor.

摘要： A microprocessor system includes an address generator, an address selector, and memory system having multiple memory towers, which can be independently addressed. The address generator simultaneously generates a first memory address and a second memory address that is 1 row greater than the first memory address. The address selector determines whether the row portion of the first memory address or the second memory address is used for each memory tower. Because each tower can be addressed independently, a single memory access can be used to access data spanning multiple rows of the memory system.

摘要： A variable length instruction pipeline includes optional expansion stages that can be included in the variable length instruction pipeline to avoid pipeline stalls. The expansion stages are removed from the variable length instruction pipeline when not needed to reduce the length of the pipeline, which reduces latency and other problems associated with long pipelines. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, a variable length instruction pipeline includes a first pipeline stage, a first expansion stage, and a second pipeline stage. The second pipeline stage is configured to selectively receive instructions from the first pipeline stage or the first expansion stage if the first expansion stage holds an instruction.

摘要： A real-time, multi-threaded embedded system includes rules for handling traps and interrupts to avoid problems such as priority inversion and re-entrancy. By defining a global interrupt priority value for all active threads and only accepting interrupts having a priority higher than the interrupt priority value, priority inversion can be avoided. Switching to the same thread before any interrupt servicing, and disabling interrupts and thread switching during interrupt servicing can simplify the interrupt handling logic. By storing trap background data for traps and servicing traps only in their originating threads, trap traceability can be preserved. By disabling interrupts and thread switching during trap servicing, unintended trap re-entrancy and servicing disruption can be prevented.

摘要： A multi-threaded embedded processor that includes an on-chip deterministic (e.g., scratch or locked cache) memory that persistently stores all instructions associated with one or more pre-selected high-use threads. The processor executes general (non-selected) threads by reading instructions from an inexpensive external memory, e.g., by way of an on-chip standard cache memory, or using other potentially slow, non-deterministic operation such as direct execution from that external memory that can cause the processor to stall while waiting for instructions to arrive. When a cache miss or other blocking event occurs during execution of a general thread, the processor switches to the pre-selected thread, whose execution with zero or minimal delay is guaranteed by the deterministic memory, thereby utilizing otherwise wasted processor cycles until the blocking event is complete.

摘要： A method and apparatus provide means for compressing instruction code size. An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) encodes instructions compact, usual or extended bit lengths. Commonly used instructions are encoded having both compact and usual bit lengths, with compact or usual bit length instructions chosen based on power, performance or code size requirements. Instructions of the ISA can be used in both privileged and non-privileged operating modes of a microprocessor. The instruction encodings can be used interchangeably in software applications. Instructions from the ISA may be executed on any programmable device enabled for the ISA, including a single instruction set architecture processor or a multi-instruction set architecture processor.

摘要： A re-encoded instruction set architecture (ISA) provides smaller bit-width instructions or a combination of smaller and larger bit-width instructions to improve instruction execution efficiency and reduce code footprint. The ISA can be re-encoded from a legacy ISA having larger bit-width instructions and can be used to unify one or more ISA extensions such as application specific ASEs. The re-encoded ISA maintains assembly-level compatibility with the ISA from which it is derived. In addition, the re-encoded ISA can have new and different types of additional instructions.
