Abstract: In one disclosed embodiment, a processor includes a first execution unit and a second execution unit, a register file, and a data path including a plurality of lanes. The data path and the register file are arranged so that writing to the register file by the first execution unit and by the second execution unit is allowed over the data path, reading from the register file by the first execution unit is allowed over the data path, and reading from the register file by the second execution unit is not allowed over the data path. The processor also includes a power control circuit configured to, when a transfer of data between the register file and either of the first and second execution units uses less than all of the lanes, power down the lanes of the data path not used for the transfer of the data.

Abstract: In described examples, a processor system includes a processor core that generates memory write requests, and a cache memory with a memory controller having a memory pipeline. The cache memory has cache lines of length L. The cache memory has a minimum write length that is less than a cache line length of the cache memory. The memory pipeline determines whether the data payload includes a first chunk and ECC syndrome that correspond to a partial write and are writable by a first cache write operation, and a second chunk and ECC syndrome that correspond to a full write operation that can be performed separately from the first cache write operation. The memory pipeline performs an RMW operation to store the first chunk and ECC syndrome in the cache memory, and performs the full write operation to store the second chunk and ECC syndrome in the cache memory.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to facilitate atomic operation in victim cache are disclosed. An example system includes a first cache storage to store a first set of data; a second cache storage to store a second set of data that has been evicted from the first cache storage; and a storage queue coupled to the first cache storage and the second cache storage, the storage queue including: an arithmetic component to: receive the second set of data from the second cache storage in response to a memory operation; and perform an arithmetic operation on the second set of data to produce a third set of data; and an arbitration manager to store the third set of data in the second cache storage.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a memory and a processor core. The processor core includes functional units and an instruction decode unit configured to determine whether an execute packet of instructions received by the processing core includes a first instruction that is designated for execution by a first functional unit of the functional units and a second instruction that is a condition code extension instruction that includes a plurality of sets of condition code bits, wherein each set of condition code bits corresponds to a different one of the functional units, and wherein the sets of condition code bits include a first set of condition code bits that corresponds to the first functional unit. When the execute packet includes the first and second instructions, the first functional unit is configured to execute the first instruction conditionally based upon the first set of condition code bits in the second instruction.
