摘要： A microprocessor chip, and methods for use in that microprocessor chip. The chip has instruction pipeline circuitry and address translation circuitry. Table lookup circuitry indexes into a table, the table having an entry associated with each corresponding address range translated by the address translation circuitry. Each entry of the table describes a likelihood of the existence of an alternate coding of instructions located in the respective corresponding address range. The table lookup circuitry retrieves a table entry corresponding to the address, and is operable as part of the basic instruction cycle of executing an instruction of a non-supervisor mode program executing on a computer. Interrupt circuitry is cooperatively designed with the instruction pipeline circuitry to trigger an interrupt on execution of an instruction of a process, synchronously based at least in part on a memory state of the computer and the address of the instruction, the architectural definition of the instruction not calling for an interrupt. A handler for the interrupt is responsive to the contents of the table to affect the instruction pipeline circuitry to effect control of an architecturally-visible data manipulation behavior or control transfer behavior of the instruction based on the contents of a table entry associated with the instruction.

An address translation circuit translates address references generated by the program from the program's logical address space to the computer's physical address space. Profile circuitry is cooperatively interconnected with the instruction pipeline and configured to detect, without compiler assistance for execution profiling, occurrence of profilable events occurring in the instruction pipeline, and is cooperatively interconnected with the memory access unit to record profile information describing physical memory addresses referenced during an execution interval of the program.

摘要： A method and a multiprocessor computer for execution of the method. A first CPU has a general register file, an instruciton pipeline, and profile circuitry. The profile circuitry is operatively interconnected and under common hardware control with the instruction pipeline. The profile circuitry and instruction pipeline are cooperatively interconnected to detect the occurrence of profileable events occurring in the instruction pipeline. The profile circuitry is operable without software intervention to effect recording of profile information describing the profileable events into the general register file, without first capturing the information into a main memory of the computer. The recording is essentially concurrent with the occurrence of the profileable events. A second CPU is configured to analyze the generated profile data, while the execution and profile data generation continue on the first CPU, and to control the execution of the program on the first CPU based at least in part on the analysis of the collected profile data.

摘要： A computer has instruction pipeline circuitry capable of executing two instruction set architectures (ISA's). A binary translator translates at least a selected portion of a computer program from a lower-performance one of the ISA's to a higher-performance one of the ISA's. Hardware initiates a query when about to execute a program region coded in the lower-performance ISA, to determine whether a higher-performance translation exists. If so, the about-to-be-executed instruction is aborted, and control transfers to the higher-performance translation. After execution of the higher-performance translation, execution of the lower-performance region is reestablished at a point downstream from the aborted instruction, in a context logically equivalent to that which would have prevailed had the code of the lower-performance region been allowed to proceed.

摘要： A microprocessor chip has instruction pipeline circuitry, and instruction classification circuitry that classifies instructions as they are executed into a small number of classes and records a classification code value. An on-chip table has entries corresponding to a range of addresses of a memory and designed to hold a statistical assessment of a value of consulting an off-chip table in a memory of the computer. Lookup circuitry is designed to fetch an entry from the on-chip table as part of the basic instruction processing cycle of the microprocessor. A mask has a value set at least in part by a timer. The instruction pipeline circuitry is controlled based on the value of the on-chip table entry corresponding to the address of instructions processed, the current value of the mask, the recorded classification code, and the off-chip table.
