摘要： In some implementations, a register file has a plurality of read ports for providing data to a micro-operation during execution of the micro-operation. For example, the micro-operation may utilize at least two data sources, with at least one first data source being utilized at least one pipeline stage earlier than at least one second data source. A number of register file read ports may be allocated for executing the micro-operation. A bypass calculation is performed during a first pipeline stage to detect whether the at least one second data source is available from a bypass network. During a subsequent second pipeline stage, when the at least one second data source is detected to be available from the bypass network, the number of the read ports allocated to the micro-operation may be reduced.

摘要： A scheduler implementing a dependency matrix having restricted entries is disclosed. A processing device of the disclosure includes a decode unit to decode an instruction and a scheduler communicably coupled to the decode unit. In one embodiment, the scheduler is configured to receive the decoded instruction, determine that the decoded instruction qualifies for allocation as a restricted reservation station (RS) entry type in a dependency matrix maintained by the scheduler, identify RS entries in the dependency matrix that are free for allocation, allocate one of the identified free RS entries with information of the decoded instruction in the dependency matrix, and update a row of the dependency matrix corresponding to the claimed RS entry with source dependency information of the decoded instruction.

摘要： A processor and method are described for scheduling operations for execution within a reservation station. For example, a method in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes the operations of: classifying a plurality of operations based on the execution ports usable to execute those operations; allocating the plurality of operations into groups within a reservation station based on the classification, wherein each group is serviced by one or more execution ports corresponding to the classification, and wherein two or more entries within a group share a common read port and a common write port; dynamically scheduling two or more operations in a group for concurrent execution based on the ports capable of executing those operations and a relative age of the operations.

摘要： A secondary jump execution unit (JEU) is incorporated in a micro-processor to operate concurrently with a primary JEU, enabling the execution of simultaneous branch operations with possible detection of multiple branch mispredicts. When branch operations are executed on both JEUs in a same instruction cycle, mispredict processing for the secondary JEU is skidded into the primary JEU's dispatch pipeline such that the branch processing for the secondary JEU occurs after processing of the branch for the primary JEU and while the primary JEU is not processing a branch. Moreover, in cases when a nuke command is also received from a reorder buffer of the processor, the branch processing for the secondary JEU is further delayed to accommodate processing of the nuke on the primary JEU. Further embodiments support the promotion of the secondary JEU to have access to the mispredict mechanisms of the primary JEU in certain circumstances.
