摘要： A system and method for profiling runtime system events of a computer system may include associating a data source type with detected system events. The system events may be detected dependent on information included in a reply message received by a processor in response to a data request or other transaction request message. The reply message may include information characterizing a source type of a source of data included in the reply message. The source type information may indicate that the source is remote or local; that it is a shared or a private storage location; that the data is supplied via a cache-to-cache transfer; or that the data is sourced from a coherency domain other than that of the requesting process. Instructions, events, messages, and replies may be sampled, and extended address information corresponding to the samples may be stored in an event set database for performance analysis.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention provides a method and an apparatus for predicting the target of a branch instruction. This method and apparatus operate by using a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) to store page numbers for predicted branch target addresses. In this embodiment, a branch target address table stores a small index to a location in the translation lookaside buffer, and this index is used retrieve a page number from the location in the translation lookaside buffer. This page number is used as the page number portion of a predicted branch target address. Thus, a small index into a translation lookaside buffer can be stored in a predicted branch target address table instead of a larger page number for the predicted branch target address. This technique effectively reduces the size of a predicted branch target table by eliminating much of the space that is presently wasted storing redundant page numbers. Another embodiment maintains coherence between the branch target address table and the translation lookaside buffer. This makes it possible to detect a miss in the translation lookaside buffer at least one cycle earlier by examining the branch target address table.
摘要翻译： 本发明的一个实施例提供了一种用于预测分支指令的目标的方法和装置。 该方法和装置通过使用翻译后备缓冲器（TLB）来存储用于预测的分支目标地址的页码。 在本实施例中，分支目标地址表将小索引存储到翻译后备缓冲器中的位置，并且使用该索引从翻译后备缓冲器中的位置检索页码。 该页码用作预测分支目标地址的页码部分。 因此，可以在预测的分支目标地址表中存储向翻译后备缓冲器的小索引，而不是预测的分支目标地址的较大的页码。 该技术通过消除存储冗余页码的目前浪费的大部分空间来有效地减小预测分支目标表的大小。 另一个实施例维护分支目标地址表和转换后备缓冲器之间的一致性。 这使得可以通过检查分支目标地址表来更早地检测翻译后备缓冲区中的未命中至少一个周期。

摘要： A cache memory array stores two-way set associative data. An odd set data bank stores odd number sets of the two-way set associative data, where the two ways of each odd number set are aligned horizontally within the odd set data bank. An even set data bank stores even number sets of the two-way set associative data, where the two ways of each even number set are aligned horizontally within the even set data bank. Also, the odd set data bank is aligned horizontally with the even set data bank such that each odd number set is aligned horizontally with a next even number set. The horizontally aligned ways are interleaved for data path width reduction. Set and way selection circuits extract lines of data from the array. The array may be structurally implemented by single-ported RAM cells.

摘要： In one embodiment, a processor comprises a core configured to execute instructions; a register file comprising a plurality of storage locations; and a window management unit. The window management unit is configured to operate the plurality of storage locations as a plurality of windows, wherein register addresses encoded into the instructions identify storage locations among a subset of the plurality of storage locations that are within a current window. Additionally, the window management unit is configured to allocate a second window in response to a predetermined event. One of the current window and the second window serves as a checkpoint of register state, and the other one of the current window and the second window is updated in response to instructions processed subsequent to the checkpoint. The checkpoint may be restored if the speculative execution results are discarded.
