    摘要： A branch processing unit (BPU) is used, in an exemplary embodiment, in a superscalar, superpipelined microprocessor compatible with the x86 instruction set architecture. In one embodiment, the BPU includes a target cache and a separate far target cache--the far target cache stores limits and mode bits for far targets stored in the target cache. For each far COF entry in the target cache, an FTC index field stores an index pointing to the corresponding entry in the far target cache. For far COFs that hit in the target cache, the target cache outputs corresponding far target addressing information and the associated FTC index to indirectly access the far target cache to obtain the associated segment limit information.

    摘要： A branch processing unit (BPU) is used, in an exemplary embodiment, in a superscalar, superpipelined microprocessor compatible with the x86 instruction set architecture. The BPU includes a return stack for call/returns, including return stack pointer repair in the case of the failure of a call/return to confirm (decode) or resolve. Return stack control logic maintains a return stack pointer, incrementing and decrementing the return stack pointer respectively for call/return pairs that hit in the target cache--in addition, the return stack control logic maintains two additional stack pointers used for repair: (a) a confirmation pointer that is incremented when a call is decoded and decremented when a return is decoded; and (b) a resolution pointer that is incremented when a call resolves, and decremented when a return resolves. If a call/return pair that hits in the target cache is not confirmed, the return stack control logic selectively repairs the return stack pointer by replacing it with the confirmation pointer, while if a call/return pair that hits in the target cache does not resolve, the return stack control logic selectively repairs the return stack pointer by replacing it with the resolution pointer.

    摘要： A carry skip adder uses independent paths for propagating a skip carry bit and a carry-in bit. Propagation of the carry-in bit is inhibited during a first portion of the clock cycle to prevent spurious carry-in signals from affecting the operation. During this period, other logic functions may be performed, including calculation of the propagation bits and generate bits for each adder block.

    摘要： A data processor has at least one output terminal which a user of the data processor can vary the output impedance thereof depending upon the application environment of the data processor. A first output buffer of an output buffer stage has a predetermined output impedance and is coupled between an input of the stage and the output terminal. The first output buffer provides a first output terminal impedance. A second output buffer having a lower output impedance than the first output buffer may be selectively coupled in parallel to the first output buffer to reduce the output impedance of the output terminal. The coupling of the output buffers is controlled by a user of the data processor who provides a control input for selecting one of a plurality of predetermined output terminal impedance values.

    摘要： Testing one or more memories of a device includes receiving one or more first repair records from one or more built-in self-testers of a device having one or more memories. A built-in self-tester is associated with a memory, and a first repair record describes a first repair at a memory. A first repair signature corresponding to the first repairs at the memories is generated from the first repair records, and then is recorded. One or more second repair records are received from the built-in self-testers, where a second repair record describes a second repair at a memory. A second repair signature corresponding to the second repairs at the memories is generated from the second repair records. The second repair signature is compared with the first repair signature. The device is evaluated in response to the comparison.

    摘要： A prefetch unit includes flow control for controlling the transfer of instruction bytes from a prefetch buffer to a decoder where the prefetch buffer includes predicted change of flow instructions. Instruction bytes in the prefetch buffer are arranged in prefetch blocks--associated with each prefetch block is a flow control bit. When the transfer of instruction bytes from a current prefetch block is complete, the flow control bit is checked--if the flow control bit is set to indicate that the prefetch clock includes a predicted COF instruction, instruction bytes will not be transferred from the next prefetch block unless the predicted COF instruction is confirmed as having been decoded. This flow control avoids the complexity of maintaining information to repair the prefetcher and decoder if the predicted COF instruction is not decoded.
