摘要： A method and mechanism for managing access to a plurality of registers in a processing device are contemplated. A processing device includes multiple nodes coupled to a ring bus, each of which include one or more registers which may be accessed by processes executing within the device. Also coupled to the ring bus is a ring control unit which is configured to initiate transactions targeted to nodes on the ring bus. Each of the nodes are configured receive and process bus transaction with a fixed latency whether or not the first transaction is targeted to the receiving node. The ring control unit is configured to periodically convey idle transactions on the ring bus in order to allow nodes responding to indeterminate transactions to gain access to the bus.

摘要： A system and method for servicing translation lookaside buffer (TLB) misses may manage separate input and output pipelines within a memory management unit. A pending request queue (PRQ) in the input pipeline may include an instruction-related portion storing entries for instruction TLB (ITLB) misses and a data-related portion storing entries for potential or actual data TLB (DTLB) misses. A DTLB PRQ entry may be allocated to each load/store instruction selected from the pick queue. The system may select an ITLB- or DTLB-related entry for servicing dependent on prior PRQ entry selection(s). A corresponding entry may be held in a translation table entry return queue (TTERQ) in the output pipeline until a matching address translation is received from system memory. PRQ and/or TTERQ entries may be deallocated when a corresponding TLB miss is serviced. PRQ and/or TTERQ entries associated with a thread may be deallocated in response to a thread flush.

摘要： A system and method for reducing branch misprediction penalty. In response to detecting a mispredicted branch instruction, circuitry within a microprocessor identifies a predetermined condition prior to retirement of the branch instruction. Upon identifying this condition, the entire corresponding pipeline is flushed prior to retirement of the branch instruction, and instruction fetch is started at a corresponding address of an oldest instruction in the pipeline immediately prior to the flushing of the pipeline. The correct outcome is stored prior to the pipeline flush. In order to distinguish the mispredicted branch from other instructions, identification information may be stored alongside the correct outcome. One example of the predetermined condition being satisfied is in response to a timer reaching a predetermined threshold value, wherein the timer begins incrementing in response to the mispredicted branch detection and resets at retirement of the mispredicted branch.

摘要： A system and method for balancing instruction loads between multiple execution units are disclosed. One or more execution units may be represented by a slot configured to accept instructions on behalf of the execution unit(s). A decode unit may assign instructions to a particular slot for subsequent scheduling for execution. Slot assignments may be made based on an instruction's type and/or on a history of previous slot assignments. A cumulative slot assignment history may be maintained in a bias counter, the value of which reflects the bias of previous slot assignments. Slot assignments may be determined based on the value of the bias counter, in order to balance the instruction load across all slots, and all execution units. The bias counter may reflect slot assignments made only within a desired historical window. A separate data structure may store data reflecting the actual slot assignments made during the desired historical window.

摘要： Systems and methods for efficient execution of operations in a multi-threaded processor. Each thread may include a blocking instruction. A blocking instruction blocks other threads from utilizing hardware resources for an appreciable amount of time. One example of a blocking type instruction is a Montgomery multiplication cryptographic instruction. Each thread can operate in a thread-based mode that allows the insertion of stall cycles during the execution of blocking instructions, during which other threads may utilize the previously blocked hardware resources. At times when multiple threads are scheduled to execute blocking instructions, the thread-based mode may be changed to increase throughput for these multiple threads. For example, the mode may be changed to disallow the insertion of stall cycles. Therefore, the time for sequential operation of the blocking instructions corresponding to the multiple threads may be reduced.
