A computer processor is disclosed. The computer processor may comprise a vector unit comprising a vector register file comprising one or more registers to hold a varying number of elements. The computer processor may further comprise processing logic configured to implicitly type each of the varying number of elements in the vector register file. The computer processor may be implemented as a monolithic integrated circuit.

A computer processor may include a plurality of hardware threads. The computer processor may further include state processor logic for a state of a hardware thread. The state processor logic may include per thread logic that contains state that is replicated in each hardware thread of the plurality of hardware threads and common logic that is independent of each hardware thread of the plurality of hardware threads. The computer processor may further include single threaded mode logic to execute instructions in a single threaded mode from only one hardware thread of the plurality of hardware threads. The computer processor may further include second mode logic to execute instructions in a second mode from more than one hardware thread of the plurality of hardware threads simultaneously. The computer processor may further include witching mode logic to switch between the first mode and the second mode.

A chaining bit decoder of a computer processor receives an instruction stream. The chaining bit decoder selects a group of instructions from the instruction stream. The chaining bit decoder extracts a designated bit from each instruction of the instruction stream to produce a sequence of chaining bits. The chaining bit decoder decodes the sequence of chaining bits. The chaining bit decoder identifies zero or more instruction stream dependencies among the selected group of instructions in view of the decoded sequence of chaining bits. The chaining bit decoder outputs control signals to cause one or more pipelines stages of the processor to execute the selected group of instructions in view of the identified zero or more instruction stream dependencies among the group sequence of instructions.

A computing device determines that a current software thread of a plurality of software threads having an issuing sequence does not have a first instruction waiting to be issued to a hardware thread during a clock cycle. The computing device identifies one or more alternative software threads in the issuing sequence having instructions waiting to be issued. The computing device selects, during the clock cycle by the computing device, a second instruction from a second software thread among the one or more alternative software threads in view of determining that the second instruction has no dependencies with any other instructions among the instructions waiting to be issued. Dependencies are identified by the computing device in view of the values of a chaining bit extracted from each of the instructions waiting to be issued. The computing device issues the second instruction to the hardware thread.
