Abstract:
Accelerating constant value generation using a computed constants table, and related circuits, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed. In one aspect, an instruction processing circuit provides a computed constants table containing one or more entries each comprising an address and a constant value. The instruction processing circuit is configured to detect, in an instruction stream, a constant-generating instruction sequence, and to determine whether an address of the constant-generating instruction sequence is present in an entry of the computed constants table. If the address of the constant-generating instruction sequence is present in the entry of the computed constants table, the instruction processing circuit provides a constant value stored in the entry for execution of at least one dependent instruction on the constant-generating instruction sequence. In this manner, the generation of constant values by a constant-generating instruction sequence may be accelerated, allowing dependent instructions to use the constant values with zero-cycle latency.
