摘要： An apparatus and method are disclosed for detecting multiple hits in CAM arrays. A binary address value is stored for each entry of the CAM array and is output to identify the matching entry for a single hit. However, to facilitate multiple hit detection, both the true and complement components of this address are stored and output to determine whether or not a multiple hit occurred. If a multiple hit occurs (e.g., more than one address location has been matched), all the bits that make up the binary address and the complement will not be complements of each other and a multiple hit condition can be detected by XORing each bit of an address location value with the complement of that address location value. If the XORed bits are equal to “1”, then a single hit has occurred. Otherwise, a multiple hit has occurred.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product for enhancing performance of an in-order microprocessor with long stalls. In particular, the mechanism of the present invention provides a data structure for storing data within the processor. The mechanism of the present invention comprises a data structure including information used by the processor. The data structure includes a group of bits to keep track of which instructions preceded a rejected instruction and therefore will be allowed to complete and which instructions follow the rejected instruction. The group of bits comprises a bit indicating whether a reject was a fast or slow reject; and a bit for each cycle that represents a state of an instruction passing through a pipeline. The processor speculatively continues to execute a set bit's corresponding instruction during stalled periods in order to generate addresses that will be needed when the stall period ends and normal dispatch resumes.

摘要： A method in a data processing system for avoiding a microprocessor's design defects and recovering a microprocessor from failing due to design defects, the method comprised of the following steps: The method detects and reports of events which warn of an error. Then the method locks a current checkpointed state and prevents instructions not checkpointed from checkpointing. After that, the method releases checkpointed state stores to a L2 cache, and drops stores not checkpointed. Next, the method blocks interrupts until recovery is completed. Then the method disables the power savings states throughout the processor. After that, the method disables an instruction fetch and an instruction dispatch. Next, the method sends a hardware reset signal. Then the method restores selected registers from the current checkpointed state. Next, the method fetches instructions from restored instruction addresses. Then the method resumes a normal execution after a programmable number of instructions.

摘要： A technique for improving access times when accessing memory, such as when accessing data from cache. By a unique manipulation and usage of a specified memory address in combination with the cache's internal organization, the address range required by the requested data can be covered by one odd and one even segment of the cache, where the odd segment is always at the base address created by the summation of the source operands and set to the odd segment, and the even address is created by summation of the source operands plus an offset value equivalent to the size of the cache line. This structural regularity is used to efficiently generate both the even and odd addresses in parallel to retrieve the desired data.

摘要： Method, system and computer program product for generating effective addresses in a data processing system. A method, in a data processing system, for generating an effective address includes generating a first portion of the effective address by calculating a first plurality of effective address bits of the effective address, and generating a second portion of the effective address by guessing a second plurality of effective address bits of the effective address. By intelligently guessing a plurality of the effective address bits that form the effective address, the effective address can be generated and sent to a translation unit more quickly than in a system in which all the effective address bits of the effective address are calculated. The method and system is particularly suitable for generating effective addresses in a CAM-based effective address translation design in a multi-threaded environment.

摘要： A method, apparatus and algorithm for quickly detecting an address match in a deeply pipelined processor design in a manner that may be implemented using a minimum of physical space in the critical area of the processor. The address comparison is split into two parts. The first part is a fast, partial address match comparator system. The second part is a slower, full address match comparator system. If a partial match between a requested address and a registry address is detected, then execution of the program or set of instructions requesting the address is temporarily suspended while a full address match check is performed. If the full address match check results in a full match between the requested address and a registry address, then the program or set of instructions is interrupted and stopped. Otherwise, the program or set of instructions continues execution.

摘要： A processing unit for a multiprocessor data processing system includes a processor core including a store-through upper level cache, an instruction sequencing unit that fetches instructions for execution, a data register, and at least one instruction execution unit. The instruction execution unit, responsive to receipt of a load-reserve instruction from the instruction sequencing unit, executes the load-reserve instruction to determine a load target address. The processor core, responsive to the execution of the load-reserve instruction, performs a corresponding load-reserve operation by accessing the store-through upper level cache utilizing the load target address to cause data associated with the load target address to be loaded from the store-through upper level cache into the data register and by establishing a reservation for a reservation granule including the load target address.

摘要： A processing unit for a multiprocessor data processing system includes a processor core including a store-through upper level cache, an instruction sequencing unit that fetches instructions for execution, a data register, and at least one instruction execution unit coupled to the instruction sequencing unit that concurrently executes multiple threads of instructions. The processor core, responsive to the at least one instruction execution unit executing a load-reserve instruction in a first thread that binds to a load target address in the store-through upper level cache during a reservation hazard window associated with a conflicting store-conditional operation of a second thread, causes a subsequent store-conditional operation of the first thread to a store target address matching the load target address to fail if the store-conditional operation of the second thread succeeds.
