    摘要: A system and method for simulating new instructions without compiler support for the new instructions. A simulator detects a given region in code generated by a compiler. The given region may be a candidate for vectorization or may be a region already vectorized. In response to the detection, the simulator suspends execution of a time-based simulation. The simulator then serially executes the region for at least two iterations using a functional-based simulation and using instructions with operands which correspond to P or less lanes of single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) execution. The value P is a maximum number of lanes of SIMD exection supported both by the compiler. The simulator stores checkpoint state during the serial execution. In response to determining no inter-iteration memory dependencies exist, the simulator returns to the time-based simulation and resumes execution using N-wide vector instructions.

The output port is usable by the router to send the given data across one of the point-to-point connections. The router is configured to send the given data contingent on determining that the respective input buffers are available. Furthermore, the processor is configured to deliver the data to the at least two other processing cores in response to the first processing core sending the data once across the point-to-point connection.

    摘要: A die-stacked memory device implements an integrated coherency manager to offload cache coherency protocol operations for the devices of a processing system. The die-stacked memory device includes a set of one or more stacked memory dies and a set of one or more logic dies. The one or more logic dies implement hardware logic providing a memory interface and the coherency manager. The memory interface operates to perform memory accesses in response to memory access requests from the coherency manager and the one or more external devices. The coherency manager comprises logic to perform coherency operations for shared data stored at the stacked memory dies. Due to the integration of the logic dies and the memory dies, the coherency manager can access shared data stored in the memory dies and perform related coherency operations with higher bandwidth and lower latency and power consumption compared to the external devices.
