摘要： A method and apparatus for power mode transition in a multi-thread processor. A first indication is issued, including a first identifier associated with a first logical processor in a processor, that the first logical processor has entered a power mode. A second indication is issued, including a second identifier associated with a second logical processor in the processor, that the second logical processor has entered the power mode. The indications may be, for example, stop grant acknowledge special bus cycles indicating that the logical processors have entered a stop grant mode. The processor may be transitioned to a sleep mode when both the first and second indications have been issued.

摘要： A pipelined microprocessor is provided. The pipelined microprocessor includes a writeback stage which signals an event and sends a sequence number of an instruction which had the event. The event may be, for example, a fault, a trap or a branch misprediction. The pipelined microprocessor further includes a decode stage which stores recovering state information for respective instructions and is responsive to the writeback stage signaling the event by using the sequence number to access the stored information to retrieve recovery state information of the instruction which had the event. The recovery state information may include, for example, a pointer to a next linear instruction, a pointer to a branch target instruction, a branch prediction, or an instruction source. Event recovery micro-code determines a next instruction to execute using the recovery state information, the next instruction being executed after a machine recovery.

摘要： Some implementations disclosed herein provide techniques and arrangements for transferring data between asynchronous clock domains. A synchronization signal may be generated by a first of the clock domains, and data may be transferred between the domains in response to the synchronization signal. Clock cycles of the second of the clock domains may be monitored in comparison to the synchronization signal to report the number of second clock domain cycles occurring per occurrence of the synchronization signal. This information may be recorded by testing and validation equipment to facilitate error analyses.

摘要： A method of performing a thread switching operation within a multithreaded processor includes detecting dispatch of a first predetermined quantity of instruction information of a first thread, from an instruction streaming buffer to an instruction pre-decoder within the multithreaded processor. A stall condition relating to the first thread within a processor pipeline of the multithreaded processor is detected. The elapsing of a predetermined time interval subsequent to the detection of the stall condition is also detected. Responsive to the detection of the dispatch of the first predetermined quantity of instruction information for the first thread and the elapsing of the predetermined time interval, a thread switching operation is performed with respect to the output of the instruction streaming buffer.

摘要： A method of performing a thread switching operation within a multithreaded processor includes detecting dispatch of a first predetermined quantity of instruction information of a first thread, from an instruction streaming buffer to an instruction pre-decoder within the multithreaded processor. A branch instruction within the instruction information of the first thread to be dispatched from the instruction information source is also detected. Responsive to the detection of the branch instruction and the detection of the dispatch of the first predetermined quantity of instruction information of the first thread, a thread switching operation is performed with respect to the output of the instruction streaming buffer. The dispatch of instruction information of a second thread from the instruction streaming buffer is thus commenced.

摘要： A method of performing a thread switching operation within a multithreaded processor includes detecting the dispatch of a first predetermined quantity of instruction information of a first thread, from an instruction streaming buffer to an instruction pre-decoder within the multithreaded processor. An absence of a flow of instruction information of the first thread into the instruction information source from an upstream source in a processor pipeline is detected. The elapsing of a predetermined time interval subsequent to the detection of the absence of the flow of the instruction information is also detected. Responsive to the detection of the dispatch of the first predetermined quantity of instruction information of the first thread, and responsive to the elapsing of the predetermined time interval, a thread switching operation is performed with respect to the output of the instruction streaming buffer. The dispatch of instruction information for a second thread from the instruction streaming buffer is thus commenced.
