    摘要: Method and apparatus for reformatting instructions in a pipelined processor. An instruction register holds a plurality of instructions received from a cache memory external to the processor. A predecoder predecodes each of the instructions and determines from an instruction operation field where the instruction fields should be placed. A multiplexer reformats architecturally aligned instructions into hardware implementation aligned instructions prior to storing into L1 cache, so that the instructions are ready for dispatch to the pipeline execution units.

    摘要: A method and system for avoiding various hazards for instructions which are propagating through a microprocessor pipeline. When a plurality of instructions exist within the pipeline which read and write the same value, a vector is established to distinguish the older from the newer instructions. Further, before instructions are dispatched for execution, pointers are generated which identify the particular instruction which had the operand or parameter value needed. Accordingly, by monitoring both the recent vector and pointers, dated dependency hazards can be avoided.

    摘要: A method and system for monitoring the real-time of software running on a microprocessor system. Debug hardware is used to select a range of instructions or events to be monitored by a performance monitor interval with the microprocessor system. A comparison is made between each event and start and stop events are identified in the debug hardware. The performance monitor is enabled by the debug hardware, when events occur within the range defined by the debug hardware. Use of the debug hardware for enabling performance monitoring avoids any overhead associated with generating interrupts, or additional code in the application program.

    摘要: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to define a processor with guest mode control registers supporting guest mode operating behavior defined by guest context specified in the guest mode control registers. The guest mode control registers include a control bit to specify a guest access blocked register state and a shared register state. Root mode control registers support root mode operating behavior defined by root context specified in the root mode control registers. The root mode control registers include control bits to enable replicated register state access and shared register state access. The guest context and the root context support virtualization of hardware resources such that multiple operating systems supporting multiple applications are executed by the hardware resources.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide nanonized iron compositions for treatment of iron deficiency such as iron deficiency anemia. Many embodiments provide nanonized iron compositions which are sized to minimize adverse reaction such as immune response, adverse GI reaction and allergic reaction to iron compound included in the composition. The nanonized iron compositions can be used in a variety of drug delivery forms, including an oral dosage form, a transdermal patch, in an intravenous solution or in a dialysate for treatment of a patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Embodiments of the invention also provide methods of using the nanonized iron compositions for the treatment of iron deficiency in a patient in need thereof including patients with iron deficiency anemia and CKD.

    摘要: A processor may include several processor cores, each including a respective higher-level cache; a lower-level cache including several tag units each including several controllers, where each controller corresponds to a respective cache bank configured to store data, and where the controllers are concurrently operable to access their respective cache banks; and an interconnect network configured to convey data between the cores and the lower-level cache. The controllers may share access to an interconnect egress port coupled to the interconnect network, and may generate multiple concurrent requests to convey data via the shared port, where each of the requests is destined for a corresponding core, and where a datapath width of the port is less than a combined width of the multiple requests. The given tag unit may arbitrate among the controllers for access to the shared port, such that the requests are transmitted to corresponding cores serially rather than concurrently.
