摘要： A method and apparatus for executing branch instructions is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a branch instruction and issuing one or more instructions from a first path of the branch instruction and one or more instructions from a second path of the branch instruction. If the first path of the branch instruction is followed by the branch instruction, the one or more instructions from the second path of the branch instruction are invalidated. If the second path of the branch instruction is followed by the branch instruction, the one or more instructions from the first path of the branch instruction are invalidated.

摘要： The present invention provides system and method for a group priority issue schema for a cascaded pipeline. The system includes a cascaded delayed execution pipeline unit having a plurality of execution pipelines that execute instructions in a common issue group in a delayed manner relative to each other. The system further includes circuitry configured to receiving an issue group of instructions, reordering the issue group of instructions using instruction type priority, and executing the reordered issue group of instructions in the cascaded delayed execution pipeline unit. The method, among others, can be broadly summarized by the following steps: receiving an issue group of instructions, reordering the issue group of instructions using instruction type priority, and executing the reordered issue group of instructions in the cascaded delayed execution pipeline unit.

摘要： The present invention provides for a computer network method and system that applies “hysteresis” to an active queue management algorithm. If a queue is at a level below a certain low threshold and a burst of packets arrives at a network node, then the probability of dropping the initial packets in the burst is recalculated, but the packets are not dropped. However, if the queue level crosses beyond a hysteresis threshold, then packets are discarded pursuant to a drop probability.Also, according to the present invention, queue level may be decreased until it becomes less than the hysteresis threshold, with packets dropped per the drop probability until the queue level decreases to at least a low threshold. In one embodiment, an adaptive algorithm is also provided to adjust the transmit probability for each flow together with hysteresis to increase the packet transmit rates to absorb bursty traffic.

摘要： Mechanisms for handling data cache misses out-of-order for asynchronous pipelines are provided. The mechanisms associate load tag (LTAG) identifiers with the load instructions and uses them to track the load instruction across multiple pipelines as an index into a load table data structure of a load target buffer. The load table is used to manage cache “hits” and “misses” and to aid in the recycling of data from the L2 cache. With cache misses, the LTAG indexed load table permits load data to recycle from the L2 cache in any order. When the load instruction issues and sees its corresponding entry in the load table marked as a “miss,” the effects of issuance of the load instruction are canceled and the load instruction is stored in the load table for future reissuing to the instruction pipeline when the required data is recycled.

摘要： A method and apparatus for updating global branch history information are disclosed. A dynamic branch predictor within a data processing system includes a global branch history (GBH) buffer and a branch history table. The GBH buffer contains GBH information of a group of the most recent branch instructions. The branch history table includes multiple entries, each entry is associated with one or more branch instructions. The GBH information from the GBH buffer can be used to index into the branch history table to obtain a branch prediction signal. In response to a fetch group of instructions, a fixed number of GBH bits is shifted into the GBH buffer. The number of GBH bits is the same regardless of the number of branch instructions within the fetch group of instructions. In addition, there is a unique bit pattern associated with the case of no taken branch in the fetch group, regardless of the number of not-taken branches of even if there are any branches in the fetch group.
