    摘要： The present application describes a method and a processor for handling register dependency conflicts between lesser and greater width instructions, colloquially referred to as “evil twins.” If there is a register dependency between a greater width producer instruction and a lesser width consumer instruction, a greater width source register is substituted for the source register specified by the lesser width producer. If there is a register dependency between a lesser width producer instruction and a greater width producer instruction, the greater width consumer instruction is replaced by multiple helper instructions. One or more of the helper instructions merge lesser width registers aliased onto the source registers specified by the greater width consumer instruction, into temporary registers. Another helper instruction executes the greater width consumer instruction using the temporary registers instead of the original source registers.

    摘要： The present application describes a method and a system for executing instructions while reducing the logic required for execution in a processor. Instructions (e.g., atomic, integer-multiply, integer-divide, move on integer registers, graphics, floating point calculations or the like) are expanded into helper instructions before execution (e.g., in the integer, floating point, graphics and memory units or the like). Such instructions are treated as complex instructions. The functionality of a complex instruction is shared among multiple helpers so that by executing the helpers representing the complex instruction, the functionality of complex instruction is achieved. The expansion of complex instructions into helper instructions reduces the amount of hardware and complexity involved in supporting these individual complex instructions in various units in the processor.

    摘要： A processor that protects an execution pipeline includes a residue-based error detection infrastructure including a first logic for computing a first residue of a result of an executed instruction instance, and a second logic for computing a second residue of the result. The second logic applies arithmetic operations of the executed instruction instance to residues of operands of the instruction instance. The execution pipeline includes registers and one or more arithmetic execution units. A method of protecting an execution pipeline includes performing one or more operations of an instruction instance on residues of operands of the instruction instance, computing a first residue of a result of the operations on the operand residues, computing a second residue from a result of executing the instruction instance, and checking the first residue against the second residue to determine whether errors were introduced while the instruction instance was resident in the execution pipeline.

    摘要： A method for protecting reliability of data associated with a data array is provided. The method initiates with defining state information associated with the data array. Then, crucial state information is identified from the state information. Next, a copy of the crucial state information is generated. Then, the state information and the copy of the crucial state information are protected. Next, a worst case state associated with non-crucial information is defined. In response to detecting an error associated with the non-crucial information, the method includes defaulting to the worst case state. A computer readable media and a shared memory multiprocessor chip are also provided.

    摘要： An apparatus including a cache subsystem arrangement for efficient management of input/output operations and of memory shared by processors in a multiprocessor system. The apparatus includes a central processing unit, an input/output device such as a network device or a display device for example, and the cache arrangement, which includes a coalescing buffer coupled with the data processing unit for receiving non-cacheable data from the processing unit. The non-cacheable data is combined in the coalescing buffer into non-cacheable data blocks. A system bus is coupled with the buffer and the input/output device for storing the non-cacheable data blocks to the input/output device. By combining the non-cacheable data before storage to the input/output device, the coalescing buffer provides higher performance in the multiprocessor system, since fewer bus transactions are issued for serial store operations and more stores can complete in a given amount of time than if they were issued singly on the bus. This is particularly advantageous in the multiprocessing system since multiple processors must compete for limited bus transaction bandwidth.
