Processor device for out-of-order processing having reservation stations utilizing multiplexed arithmetic pipelines
Abstract:
A processor device having a reservation station (RS) is concerned. In case the processor device has plural RS, the RS is associated with an arithmetic pipeline, and two RS make a pair. When one RS of the pair cannot dispatch an instruction to an associated arithmetic pipeline, the other RS dispatches the instruction to that arithmetic pipeline, or delivers its held instruction to the one RS. In case one RS is equipped, plural entries in the RS are divided into groups, and by dynamically changing this grouping according to the dispatch frequency of the instruction to the arithmetic pipelines or the held state of the instructions, the arithmetic pipelines are efficiently utilized. Incidentally, depending on the grouping of the plural entries in the RS, a configuration as if the plural RS were allocated to each arithmetic pipeline may be realized.
