An arithmetic logic and shifting device is disclosed and includes an arithmetic logic unit that has a first input to receive a first operand from a first register port, a second input to receive a second operand from a second register port, and an output to selectively provide a memory address to a memory unit in a first mode of operation and to selectively provide an arithmetic output in a second mode of operation. Further, the arithmetic logic and shifting device includes a programmable shifter device that has a first input to receive data from the memory unit, a second input to receive the arithmetic output, a third input to receive an operation code of a computer execution instruction, and a shifted output to provide shifted data.

A memory management unit (MMU) for servicing transaction requests from one or more processor threads is described. The MMU can include a translation lookaside buffer (TLB). The TLB can include a storage module and a logic circuit. The storage module can store a bit indicating one of a plurality of interfaces. The bit can be associated with a physical address range. The logic circuit can route a physical address within the physical address range to the one of the plurality of interfaces.

Programs often require constants that cannot be encoded in a native instruction format, such as 32-bits. To provide an extended constant, an instruction packet is formed with constant extender information and a target instruction. The constant extender information encoded as a constant extender instruction provides a first set of constant bits, such as 26-bits for example, and the target instruction provides a second set of constant bits, such as 6-bits. The first set of constant bits are combined with the second set of constant bits to generate an extended constant for execution of the target instruction. The extended constant may be used as an extended source operand, an extended address for memory access instructions, an extended address for branch type of instructions, and the like. Multiple constant extender instructions may be used together to provide larger constants than can be provided by a single extension instruction.

A system and method to manage a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method of managing a first TLB includes in response to starting execution of a memory instruction, setting a first field associated with an entry of the first TLB to indicate use of the entry. The method also includes setting a second field to indicate that the entry in the first TLB matches a corresponding entry in a second TLB.
