Abstract:
In an embodiment, a processor includes at least a first core. The first core includes execution logic to execute operations, and a first event counter to determine a first event count associated with events of a first type that have occurred since a start of a first defined interval. The first core also includes a second event counter to determine a second event count associated with events of a second type that have occurred since the start of the first defined interval, and stall logic to stall execution of operations including at least first operations associated with events of the first type, until the first defined interval is expired responsive to the first event count exceeding a first combination threshold concurrently with the second event count exceeding a second combination threshold. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a processor includes a fetch logic to fetch instructions, a decode logic to decode the fetched instructions, and an execution logic to execute at least some of the instructions. The decode logic may determine whether a flag portion of a first instruction to be folded is to be performed, and if not, accumulate a first immediate value of the first instruction with a folded immediate value obtained from an entry of an immediate buffer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In one embodiment, a processor includes a fetch logic to fetch instructions, a decode logic to decode the instructions, and an execution logic to execute at least some of the instructions. The decode logic may identify a first instruction having a first immediate value, accumulate the first immediate value with a folded immediate value associated with a first operand of the first instruction, and prevent the first instruction from provision to the execution logic, such that the first instruction is not to be executed within the execution logic. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: an instruction fetch circuit to fetch instructions; a decode circuit coupled to the instruction fetch circuit to decode the fetched instructions into micro-operations (pops); a scheduler coupled to the decode circuit to schedule the pops for execution; and an execution circuit coupled to the scheduler, the execution circuit comprising a plurality of execution ports to execute the pops. The scheduler may be configured to: schedule at least some pops of a first type for redundant execution on symmetric execution ports of the plurality of execution ports; and schedule pops of a second type for non-redundant execution on a single execution port of the plurality of execution ports. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
