摘要： Method, system and computer program product for generating effective addresses in a data processing system. A method, in a data processing system, for generating an effective address includes generating a first portion of the effective address by calculating a first plurality of effective address bits of the effective address, and generating a second portion of the effective address by guessing a second plurality of effective address bits of the effective address. By intelligently guessing a plurality of the effective address bits that form the effective address, the effective address can be generated and sent to a translation unit more quickly than in a system in which all the effective address bits of the effective address are calculated. The method and system is particularly suitable for generating effective addresses in a CAM-based effective address translation design in a multi-threaded environment.

摘要： A method, apparatus and algorithm for quickly detecting an address match in a deeply pipelined processor design in a manner that may be implemented using a minimum of physical space in the critical area of the processor. The address comparison is split into two parts. The first part is a fast, partial address match comparator system. The second part is a slower, full address match comparator system. If a partial match between a requested address and a registry address is detected, then execution of the program or set of instructions requesting the address is temporarily suspended while a full address match check is performed. If the full address match check results in a full match between the requested address and a registry address, then the program or set of instructions is interrupted and stopped. Otherwise, the program or set of instructions continues execution.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product for enhancing performance of an in-order microprocessor with long stalls. In particular, the mechanism of the present invention provides a data structure for storing data within the processor. The mechanism of the present invention comprises a data structure including information used by the processor. The data structure includes a group of bits to keep track of which instructions preceded a rejected instruction and therefore will be allowed to complete and which instructions follow the rejected instruction. The group of bits comprises a bit indicating whether a reject was a fast or slow reject; and a bit for each cycle that represents a state of an instruction passing through a pipeline. The processor speculatively continues to execute a set bit's corresponding instruction during stalled periods in order to generate addresses that will be needed when the stall period ends and normal dispatch resumes.

摘要： A method and system for maintaining a best-case demand redispatch of an instruction to allow for maximizing the time a rejected thread may execute in lookahead execution mode, while maintaining the smallest L1 cache miss penalty supported by the memory subsystem. In response to a demand miss, a load/store unit sends a fetch request to the next level cache. The cache line of the demand miss is examined to identify the critical sector. Once the critical sector is identified, a best-case data return time is determined based on the fastest time the next level cache is able to return the critical sector of the cache line. The load/store unit then sends a speculative warning to the dispatch unit to coincide with the best-case data return, wherein the speculative warning prepares the dispatch unit to resend the instruction for execution as soon as data is available to the processor core.

摘要： A method and system for recovering a global history vector. In the event of a non-branch flush, a tag may be received by a queue configured to store information about branch instructions. The queue may read a copy of the global history vector from an entry indexed by the tag. This copy may be inserted in a global history vector mechanism (“GHV mechanism”) configured to manage the global history vector. If the flush operation is a flush to a group of instructions that contains no branch instructions and the tag does not equal the next-to-write pointer in the queue, then the queue may transmit a command to the GHV mechanism to enter a mode where the GHV mechanism does not update the global history vector until the next branch instruction is fetched.
