摘要:
Store multiple instructions are managed based on previous execution history and their alignment. At least one store multiple instruction is detected. A flag is determined to be associated with the at least one store multiple instruction. The flag indicates that the at least one store multiple instruction has previously encountered an operand store compare hazard. The at least one store multiple instruction is organized into a set of unit of operations. The set of unit of operations is executed. The executing avoids the operand store compare hazard previously encountered by the at least one store multiple instruction.

A system and method for issuing a processor instruction to multiple processing sections arranged in an out-of-order processing pipeline architecture. The multiple processing sections include a first execution unit with a pipeline length and a second execution unit operating upon data produced by the first execution unit. An instruction issue unit accepts a complex instruction that is cracked into respective micro-ops for the first execution unit and the second execution unit. The instruction issue unit issues the first micro-op to the first execution unit to produce intermediate data. The instruction issue unit then delays for a time period corresponding to the processing pipeline length of the first execution unit. After the delay, a second micro-op is issued to the second execution unit.

A method and information processing system manage load and store operations executed out-of-order. At least one of a load instruction and a store instruction is executed. A determination is made that an operand store compare hazard has been encountered. An entry within an operand store compare hazard prediction table is created based on the determination. The entry includes at least an instruction address of the instruction that has been executed and a hazard indicating flag associated with the instruction. The hazard indicating flag indicates that the instruction has encountered the operand store compare hazard. When a load instruction is associated with the hazard indicating flag the load instruction becomes dependent upon all store instructions associated with a substantially similar flag.

A method and system for the efficient customization of website tracking data includes a data collector with a user interface for assigning custom events and attributes to events occurring on a website. The data collector receives custom tracking data from the website in response to the occurrence of an event to be tracked. Customization of tracking data is achieved through the use of an embedded tracking code and associated data collection file. The embedded tracking code is configured to report tracking data customized for the website. The data collection server is configured via a graphical user interface to receive and store the customized tracking data. A configuration string from the data collector is inserted into the data collection file on the web site. In this manner, the data collection server and website is customized to collect customized tracking data efficiently without assistance from others.
摘要:
A method, information processing system, and computer program product manage computer executable instructions. At least one machine instruction for execution is received. The at least one machine instruction is analyzed. The machine instruction is identified as a predefined instruction for storing a variable length first operand in a memory location. Responsive to this identification and based on fields of the machine instruction, a relative location of a variable length second operand of the instruction with location of the first operand is determined. Responsive to the relative location having the predefined relationship, a first cracking operation is performed. The first cracking operation cracks the instruction into a first set of micro-ops (Uops) to be executed in parallel. The first set of Uops is for storing a first plurality of first blocks in the first operand. Each of said first block to be stored are identical. The first set Uops are executed.

A method, information processing system, and computer program product crack and/or shorten computer executable instructions. At least one instruction is received. The at least on instruction is analyzed. An instruction type associated with the at least one instruction is identified. At least one of a base field, an index field, one or more operands, and a mask field of the instruction are analyzed. At least one of the following is then performed: the at least one instruction is organized into a set of unit of operation; and the at least one instruction is shortened. The set of unit of operations is then executed.
摘要:
A method of operating an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) by inverting a result of an operation to be executed during a current cycle in response to control signals from instruction decode logic which indicate that a later operation will require a complement of the result, wherein the result is inverted during the current cycle. The later operation may be a subtraction operation that immediately follows the first operation. The later instruction is decoded prior to the current cycle to control the inversion in the ALU. The ALU includes an adder, a rotator, and a data manipulation unit which invert the result during the current cycle in response to an invert control signal. The second operation subtracts the result during a subsequent cycle in which a carry control signal to the adder is enabled, and the rotator and the data manipulation unit are disabled. The ALU may be used in an execution unit of a microprocessor, such as a fixed-point unit.
