摘要： In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor having a core to execute instructions. This core can include various structures and logic that enable instructions of different atomic regions to be executed in an overlapping manner. To this end, the core can include a register file having registers to store data for use in execution of the instructions, and multiple shadow register files each to store a register checkpoint on initiation of a given atomic region. In this way, overlapping execution of atomic regions identified by a programmer or compiler can occur. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： A processor includes a decoder to decode an instruction, a scheduler to schedule the instruction, and an execution unit to execute the instruction. The instruction is to load a memory operation applicable to a quantity of addresses into an execution vector. The execution vector includes a plurality of vector positions for respective addressees. The instruction is further to evaluate, for a given address in the execution vector at a vector position, whether a cache indicates that a previous memory operation was performed at a higher vector position than the vector position of the given address. The instruction is also to determine, based on the evaluation whether the cache indicates that the previous memory operation was performed at a higher vector position than the vector position of the given address, whether the memory operation will cause a memory error.

摘要： Example methods and apparatus to manage partial commit-checkpoints are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes identifying a commit instruction associated with a region of instructions executed by a processor, identifying candidate instructions from the region of instructions, and generating a processor partial commit-checkpoint to save a current state of the processor, the checkpoint based on calculated register values associated with live instructions, and including instruction reference addresses to link the candidate instructions.

摘要： Technologies for automatic loop vectorization include a computing device with an optimizing compiler. During an optimization pass, the compiler identifies a loop and generates a transactional code segment including a vectorized implementation of the loop body including one or more vector memory read instructions capable of generating an exception. The compiler also generates a non-transactional fallback code segment including a scalar implementation of the loop body that is executed in response to an exception generated within the transactional code segment. The compiler may detect whether the loop contains a memory read dependent on a condition that may be updated in a previous iteration or whether the loop contains a potential data dependence between two iterations. The compiler may generate a dynamic check for an actual data dependence and an explicit transactional abort instruction to be executed when an actual data dependence exists. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
