In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: an instruction fetch circuit to fetch instructions; a decode circuit coupled to the instruction fetch circuit to decode the fetched instructions into micro-operations (pops); a scheduler coupled to the decode circuit to schedule the pops for execution; and an execution circuit coupled to the scheduler, the execution circuit comprising a plurality of execution ports to execute the pops. The scheduler may be configured to: schedule at least some pops of a first type for redundant execution on symmetric execution ports of the plurality of execution ports; and schedule pops of a second type for non-redundant execution on a single execution port of the plurality of execution ports. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
