Microprocessor with a reservation stations structure including primary and secondary reservation stations and a bypass system
摘要:
A microprocessor with a fused reservation stations (RS) structure including a primary RS, a secondary RS, and a bypass system. The primary RS has an input for receiving issued instructions, has a push output for pushing the issued instructions to the secondary RS, and has at least one bypass output for dispatching issued instructions that are ready for dispatch. The secondary RS has an input coupled to the push output of the primary RS and has at least one dispatch output. The bypass system selects between the bypass output of the primary RS and at least one dispatch output of the secondary RS for dispatching selected issued instructions. The primary and secondary RS may each be selected from different RS structure types. A unify RS provides a suitable primary RS, and the secondary RS may include multiple queues. The bypass output enables direct dispatch from the primary RS.
