    Abstract: A computer processor includes a decoder for decoding machine instructions and an execution unit for executing those instructions. The decoder and the execution unit are capable of decoding and executing vector instructions that include one or more format conversion indicators. For instance, the processor may be capable of executing a vector-load-convert-and-write (VLoadConWr) instruction that provides for loading data from memory to a vector register. The VLoadConWr instruction may include a format conversion indicator to indicate that the data from memory should be converted from a first format to a second format before the data is loaded into the vector register. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for efficiently caching streaming and non-streaming data is described herein. Software, such as a compiler, identifies last use streaming instructions/operations that are the last instruction/operation to access streaming data for a number of instructions or an amount of time. As a result of performing an access to a cache line for a last use instruction/operation, the cache line is updated to a streaming data no longer needed (SDN) state. When control logic is to determine a cache line to be replaced, a modified Least Recently Used (LRU) algorithm is biased to select SDN state lines first to replace no longer needed streaming data.

    Abstract translation: 本文描述了用于有效地高速缓存流和非流数据的方法和装置。 诸如编译器的软件识别最后使用的流指令/操作,这些指令/操作是用于访问多个指令或一定时间量的最后指令/操作来访问流数据。 作为执行对最后使用指令/操作的高速缓存线的访问的结果,将高速缓存行更新为不再需要的流数据(SDN)状态。 当控制逻辑要确定要替换的高速缓存行时,修改的最近最少使用(LRU)算法被偏置以首先选择SDN状态行来替换不再需要的流数据。

    Abstract: A system and method for assigning values to elements in a first register, where each data field in a first register corresponds to a data element to be written into a second register, and where for each data field in the first register, a first value may indicate that the corresponding data element has not been written into the second register and a second value indicates that the corresponding data element has been written into the second register, reading the values of each of the data fields in the first register, and for each data field in the first register having the first value, gathering the corresponding data element and writing the corresponding data element into the second register, and changing the value of the data field in the first register from the first value to the second value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus to detect and filter out redundant cache line addresses in a prefetch input queue, and to adjust the detector window size dynamically according to the number of detector entries in the queue for the cache-to-memory controller bus. Detectors correspond to cache line addresses that may represent cache misses in various levels of cache memory.

    Abstract: A system and method for a processor to determine a memory page management implementation used by a memory controller without necessarily having direct access to the circuits or registers of the memory controller is disclosed. In one embodiment, a matrix of counters correspond to potential page management implementations and numbers of pages per block. The counters may be incremented or decremented depending upon whether the corresponding page management implementations and numbers of pages predict a page boundary whenever a long access latency is observed. The counter with the largest value after a period of time may correspond to the actual page management implementation and number of pages per block.
