摘要： A processor includes an instruction sequencing unit, execution unit, and multi-level register file including a first level register file having a lower access latency and a second level register file having a higher access latency. Responsive to the processor processing a second instruction in a transactional code section to obtain as an execution result a second register value of the logical register, the mapper moves a first register value of the logical register to the second level register file, places the second register value in the first level register file, marks the second register value as speculative, and replaces a first mapping for the logical register with a second mapping. Responsive to unsuccessful termination of the transactional code section, the mapper designates the second register value in the first level register file as invalid so that the first register value in the second level register file becomes the working value.

摘要： Various systems, processes, products, and techniques may be used to manage thread transitions. In particular implementations, a system and process for managing thread transitions may include the ability to determine that a transition is to be made regarding the relative use of two data register sets and determine, based on the transition determination, whether to move thread data in at least one of the data register sets to second-level registers. The system and process may also include the ability to move the thread data from at least one data register set to second-level registers based on the move determination.

摘要： A processor includes an instruction fetch unit, an issue queue coupled to the instruction fetch unit, an execution unit coupled to the issue queue, and a multi-level register file including a first level register file having lower access latency and a second level register file having higher access latency. Each of the first and second level register files includes a plurality of physical registers for holding operands that is concurrently shared by a plurality of threads. The processor further includes a mapper that, at dispatch of an instruction specifying a source logical register from the instruction fetch unit to the issue queue, initiates a swap of a first operand associated with the source logical register that is in the second level register file with a second operand held in the first level register file. The issue queue, following the swap, issues the instruction to the execution unit for execution.

摘要： A method and apparatus for tracking instructions in a processor. A completion unit in the processor receives an instruction group to add to a table to form a received instruction group. In response to receiving the received instruction group, the completion unit determines whether an entry is present that contains a previously stored instruction group in a first location and has space for storing the received instruction group. In response to the entry being present, the completion unit stores the received instruction group in a second location in the entry to form a stored instruction group.

摘要： A method of restoring register mapper states for an out-of-order microprocessor. A processor maps a logical register to a physical register in a map table in response to a first instruction. Instruction sequencing logic records a second speculatively executed instruction as a most recently dispatched instruction in the map table when the second instruction maps the same logical register of the first instruction. The instruction sequencing logic sets an evictor instruction tag (ITAG) of the first instruction in the map table when the second instruction maps a same logical register of the first instruction. The instruction sequencing logic detects mispredicted speculative instructions, determines which instructions in the map table were dispatched prior to the mispredicted speculative instructions, and restores the map table to a state prior to the mispredicted speculative instructions by utilizing the evictor ITAG to restore one or more A bits in the map table data structure.
