Abstract:
A computer processor is disclosed. The computer processor comprises one or more processor resources. The computer processor further comprises a plurality of hardware thread units coupled to the one or more processor resources. The computer processor may be configured to permit simultaneous access to the one or more processor resources by only a subset of hardware thread units of the plurality of hardware thread units. The number of hardware threads in the subset may be less than the total number of hardware threads of the plurality of hardware thread units.
Abstract:
A computer processor that implements pre-translation of virtual addresses with target registers is disclosed. The computer processor may include a register file comprising one or more registers. The computer processor may include processing logic. The processing logic may receive a value to store in a register of one or more registers. The processing logic may store the value in the register. The processing logic may designate the received value as a virtual instruction address, the virtual instruction address having a corresponding virtual base page number. The processing logic may translate the virtual base page number to a corresponding real base page number and zero or more real page numbers corresponding to zero or more virtual page numbers adjacent to the virtual base page number. The processing logic may further store in the register of the one or more registers the real base page number and the zero or more real page numbers.

Abstract:
A computer processor is disclosed. The computer processor comprise a vector unit comprising a vector register file comprising at least one vector register to hold a varying number of elements. The computer processor further comprises out-of-order issue logic that holds a pool of vector instructions, selects a vector instruction from the pool, and sends the vector instruction for execution. The vector instruction operates on the varying number of elements of the at least one vector register.
Abstract:
A computer processor comprising a vector unit is disclosed. The vector unit may comprise a vector register file comprising at least one register to hold a varying number of elements. The vector unit may further comprise a vector length register file comprising at least one register to specify the number of operations of a vector instruction to be performed on the varying number of elements in the at least one register of the vector register file. The computer processor may be implemented as a monolithic integrated circuit.
